I am sorry for your loss. I lost [Maggie Wonderbeagle](http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e260/dogbutler/Picture090.jpg) in October.

I’m so sorry to read this. She sounds like she was a damn fine dog and it seems she had real personality.

I loved the picture, she was a beautiful dog.

What a gorgeous dog - I’m so sorry to hear of your loss.  
I’m going to give my golden retriever, Lucy, an extra big hug now…

Thanks, everyone - it’s going to be a while before I stop [stepping over the cushion in the kitchen.](http://picasaweb.google.com/dasGlas/MelissaSCats/photo#5138800451251108626) It was her favourite spot - right in the middle of things and in good position to harvest any fallout from the counter.

We’ll be missing her.

GREAT picture. I’m so sorry for loss. I just did this about a month ago, so I’m sitting here crying for you and laughing at the picture.

_sigh_ Ever since my horse passed away 2 years ago these stories choke me up something awful. Zoe was Good Dog and I know she will be missed. I’m so sorry for your loss.
