I'm so sorry Helena I've not been on for a few days, so missed all of this. Run free Georgie, have fun at the bridge xx

Run free beloved Georgieboy, run free. xx

Helena I am so sorry you have had to say goodbye to Georgie .
I don't think 'non doggy' people understand how we feel when we lose a much loved friend, getting through each day is hard ...

Sleep well Georgie, you will be missed by all your friends...

Sorry to hear this. He was lucky to have such a caring family x

Thanks all, for all the lovely messages, not forgetting my sympathetic pm's, and all the long and thoughtful posts, I cannot believe he had such a huuuuge fan club in Dogsey, but then he was around for many happy years.

Feeling a lot better today, I haven't cried once (yet!), and I spoke to him again when we were up the top on our walk that he loved so much.

Zena is slowly coming round, except for the quiet times here at home, which I'm making sure there aren't many of. I took her out with me to the shops just now, because I know she is fine on her own home alone, so it doesn't have to be that I leave her every day, she can stay in the car, for 10 mins or so, it will do her good, and nobody in their right mind would try and steal her from the back!

I've had a fantastic offer of a walk with two other gsd's from a lovely lady on here who has now moved back to my neck of the woods, and it is going to be so fantastic for Zena to be able to run and play with her own kind on a walk, especially as they are two friendly males, I'm sure they will both fall in love with her and maybe we can make it a regular weekly thing.

I was hoping I might get my little box by now, but nothing yet. Maybe that's a good thing, it's a bit too early, because the realisation will really set in when we have that. I wonder if Zena will be "interested" in it???!! I hadn't thought of that, because normally, we've always buried our dogs, and even then I know they "know" because I would often see them lying on top of the grave. Oh dear, this is quite worrying now, should I let her have a sniff of it I wonder, or should I keep it well out of her way??!! Never been here before with a dog ya see, only the horse and dear old mum.

Dave is still quite sombre and sad, but he has to hold it all in all day at work, so maybe over the week-end, when we're out with Zena he can let some of it go, so I will take a pocketful of tissues, coz I want to talk about Georgie, I don't want to hide him away.

Oh I dooooooo miss the old fella, but at least the tears have dried up for the time being, thanks to you lot as always.xxxxxxxxxxxx
