I am just going to paste this from another forum it hurts too much to form words

This is hard to write I cannot see the screen so please look over me...  My dog Lucky my baby of 13 years died in my arms this morning... Simply of old age he has been to more vets in the last 2 weeks than his entire life. He just simply couldn't hold on any longer.

I miss you my baby boy my big man. You will always be my Lucky Ducky who stole my heart with one lick to the cheek when I was just 13 years old. I know you are now running free with the puppy energy you always had and probably terrorizing some poor unexpected puppy into playing with you. 

I miss you with everything in me... The whole family loves you.

Goodbye for now baby. 

Here is my favorite picture of you.. It is grainy and small but you were doing what you loved running and barking at everything 

. 

aaww, I'm so sorry your Lucky has passed on. It hurts no matter what age they live to. He sounds like he had a wonderful life with you. May he find lots of puppies to play with.

*hugs* Its always hard to lose someone that has been with you so long. He had a good long life with a family that loved him, what pup wouldn't be in heaven with that?

My condolences on the loss of your beautiful friend. ****Hugs****

***Hugs*** Losing someone who has shared so much of your life is very hard. My condolences.

Oh Sonn, I am so sorry! (((((hugs))))))) We were just speaking of this the other day. What a beautiful dog he was!

It is crushing, saying farewell to one who has been with you and shared your life for so long and with the loyalty that a dog does, they are built for it without doubt, and there is no other relationship quite like it in the world, the bond between canine and human.

I know it may not feel like it at the moment, but what a blessing he could be in your arms at the moment of his passing! What greater gift can we give than to stand by a loved one's side at that important moment? I am sure he was grieved to leave the one who cared for him and loved him as you obviously did. But he waits for you now on the shores of Paradise and watches over you from there.

My dear Taiku was at the vets when I lost him this last October and I was unable to be with him, but my husband was there to give him comfort and those last, loving ear rubs. I'll direct you to this poem which I hope will give you the kind of peace to read as it gave me to write:
-----
It seems very dark, but eventually turns towards that second star on the right and straight on till morning.

Saying goodbye…
I hate to do it.
It always seems so final.
It doesn’t help when people say that whatever or whomever was lost will always be with me.
I want to scream for how helpless I feel.
I want to cry until I can’t cry anymore.
I hate the rain for falling and falling and falling.
The clouds make it impossible for me to get my bones warmed.
I hate the sun for coming up.
I hate the stars for turning in their courses.
I hate the moon for shining in my window at night and waking me, so I can think of how sad I am.
In the morning, my eyes don’t want to open.
My legs don’t want to move forward.
My heart keeps going back to how things used to be, and wonders why it can’t stay there?
My life seems a miserable lot.

And yet if you hadn’t been part of my life,
I’d have no memories to visit.
I wouldn’t have a reason to miss you.
I wouldn’t have tears to cry,
Long sighs when I have to pull back the bedcovers and get up in the morning.
And occasional laughter that bubbles up for no reason.
I wouldn’t have had the love that you gave me,
Nor the friends that are doing everything they can to cheer me up.
And I would be emptier than I am now,
And not know the joy I will have someday,
At being able to say hello to you,
Again.

God Bless! (((((((((((((((hugs for Sonn))))))))))))))

Sonn, I'm so sorry. He was beautiful.
You might want to go to the Rainbow Bridge website - they have a lovely ceremony once a week online as well as pages devoted to the loss of a beloved dog. I went there first when I lost Spockie before I found BB.

Run free, Lucky.

I am really sorry to about your dog Lucky. He looks like such a happy and playful boy in your photo. He's gorgeous. I send my best wishes and thoughts for you. {{{{HUGS}}}}

Thank you everyone for your kind words and for the poem MimzMum. I am doing some better today...

Oh Sonn. I'm so sorry to hear about Lucky's passing. I know he had a great, long, happy life with you. (((hugs!!!)))

I'm glad to hear that you're doing a bit better today, but just don't force yourself to feel better. Give yourself time to grieve.

I'm so sorry Sonn. Hugs.

((((((Lucky!))))))

*HUGS* I'm so sorry to hear this. *HUGS*

What a beautiful dog, and what a wonderful long life he lived knowing he was loved and cared for. I hope he's found my Molly and Max and Mike at the bridge and they are showing him around and romping after balls and frisbees

My condolences to you, Sonn. I hope you soon are able to find comfort in your memories of what a wonderful life you shared.

I'm so sorry that I am so late on this. What an adorable photo of Lucky - such a gorgeous dog! I know he is missed and I hope some time has helped heal a bit so that the good memories can shine through the pain. Hugs to you!

Thank you everyone

I am doing better I am focusing on caring for my other animals and that is helping a ton
