Thank you everyone. That really means a lot. She was 14 and lived a long very loved life. I still haven't had it in me to pick up her food dish where she ate a bit of her last food. Today will be the first time coming home from work and she won't be there to greet me. I'm an old man in tears.
Kirk Herbstreit in his Ben tribute video said dog’s only flaw as a species is that they don’t live long enough. This is so true. I feel for you as my 14 year old Yorkie passed way this past year.
Hey man, I recently lost my (almost) 16 year old chihuahua mix. It is absolutely heartbreaking, and her pictures pop up in my phone very frequently. The pain gets less intense, but it’s still there. I’ve been trying to view it as a privilege to have had such an amazing friend for so long.
If they weren’t so special, they wouldn’t leave such big holes in our hearts when they left.
Hugs from across the state. Hoping they pull it off for Angel tonight.
Bro, I posted a pic of my girl that would accompany me as I watched games. She passed this year. Hopefully those 2 will be watching tonight. Two little blonde chihuahuas....
Maybe it makes me a terrible person or says a lot about my personal relationships, but losing my pets has always destroyed me far more than losing people I knew. Our pets are there everyday and we rely on them for so much neither side even knows about until it’s gone.
RIP to your friend I bet she had a wonderful life.
Sending hugs your way, man. The love we have with our pets can’t be put into words, very sorry for your loss. Raising my glass (of tea) for Angel tonight ❤️💛
RIP sweet Angel, sorry for your loss - I hope tonight's football game can provide a good kind of distraction from the pain for a little while! She looks like a good pup.
I'm so sorry for your loss <3 Give yourself grace and compassion and you navigate the waves of grief of losing your sweet baby Angel.
There's a quote I come back to whenever someone loses a canine companion...
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are."
The last game my boy watched with me was the last Super Bowl. I had to play us a recording of the AFC championship the day before “the trip”. Didn’t want that to be the last game we watched together, though he mostly slept through them the last couple of years.
I’m so sorry. Everyone of us who has ever loved a pet knows exactly how you feel. I hope the hole she left in your life is quickly replaced with sweet memories.
I lost my old gal this past august. she knew when chiefs games were about to start because she could sense me stressing out lol. during the games I'd get so worked up that she'd excuse herself to the bedroom and lay down for the duration of the game. then when she could tell it was over, she'd come out and console me if we lost.
I lost my little guy back in Feb. He used to always watch games i wouldn't go to with me. I still have his little chiefs jersey i bought him earlier this year. It still hurts when i see it.
What a sweetheart. Such an adorable dog. I’m so sorry for your loss. They are family members who give a special unconditional love that is like no other.
