Tomorrow it will be two years since I lost Bess. Don't think I will ever stop missing her. I have since rescued 2 beautiful cats but nothing will ever replace her. Does the pain ever go away? I worry that Bess won't be waiting at Rainbow Bridge because I have 2 other cats? She will always be my first love

I know how u all feel altho I lost one of my cats a year ago and about a month ago lost another the pain doesn't go away the reason is because they are part of your family ( your Kids) if you have not got any that is. Now I have one more she is 17 yrs old doesn't look it and I hope she has a few more years because I don't think ill be able to take another loss but im going to have to when the time come. I send HUGZZZZZZZZ to everyone going through pain at this time.

The first dog we had was 50 years ago and I can still remember clearly the day I came home from school and he was not waiting on the doorstep for me, he had been doing this for nearly 10 years and the pain from knowing I would never get that welcome again has never left me. Since then I've had many dogs and cats that I've loved and lost, but I know Laddie would want me to give the love I gave to him to others and it has helped. I know he's looking down and that he'll be waiting with all the others when my time comes. No other animal will ever replace him, nor will any of the others be replaced in my heart, they were all different but they all loved me and my family as we loved them.

I lost my beautiful labrador Barney 4 years ago and I miss him as much today as I did on the day he was PTS. He was nearly 13 and was the most amazing companion and wonderful dog I have ever met. He did not have a nasty bone in his body and was always there when I got home with his waggy tail and amazing greeting. I would love another dog but just cannot face the pain again that I felt when I lost my Barney it was just too awful to bear. See you again my big boy at Rainbow bridge.

Totally agree with you all. It's been 1 year and nearly 4 months since we had to say goodbye to our 6 year old lab Louis, who was suffering from cancer. There still isn't a day that goes by that I don't shed a tear for him. Writing this now is making me cry, the pain is still awful. I feel cheated, he was too young and had so much more we needed to do together. I worry all the time for my 2 other dogs, as they are getting older and I don't think I could go through the loss again. I can understand how people can't have more furry friends because of the pain of the loss.
I am running the london marathon for breast cancer this year, but I am dedicating the run to Louis. All cancers need to be eliminated, humans and animals alike.
Love to you all who are feeling the pain, at least we are all experiencing the same, it helps us to deal with it and brings comfort to think we are normal in our feelings.
Let's hope all our furry babies are enjoying each others company at rainbow bridge, until we meet up with them again.
Love you "Louis", all the world and more xxxxx
