My little Brock, the most amazing dog ever, loved you so much, I just wish you could have stayed abit longer. xxx

ā€œPeople are born so that they learn how to live a good life ā€“ like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right? Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they donā€™t have to stay as long.ā€ – Shane

    1. They found a tumour against his heart last week. There wasn’t anything they could do. We bought him home for a day and the vet came to the house on Saturday to put him to sleep. He went very peacefully, but it’s so awful losing him. xxx

      1. Aww! I’m sorry to hear that. I wanted to ask that but didn’t really know how. He was a cutie and definitely had a lot of personality. You gave him a lot of love in the time that you had him so that’s what counts.

        1. Thank you and it’s true. x He had a very hard start in life, and even though he was only with us for just over a year, he was very happy here. Just very painful at the moment. x

  1. Such a beautiful dog. You were so lucky to find each other and you both enriched each other’s lives so much and he was so happy with you and on his new home. It’s so sad that he couldn’t stay for longer but you have a year of really beautiful memories and photos xxxxxx

    1. Brock really was, and we were meant to find each other. šŸ™‚ It’s just trying to focus on the positives and the wonderful year he had with us. šŸ™‚ But do so wish he was still here. xxx

  2. Iā€™m so sorry for your loss loss. They certainly make our days so much happier. šŸŒˆšŸŒˆšŸŒˆšŸ¶šŸ¶šŸ¶

  3. Ohh! Ohhh, Hannah. I’m so sorry to hear of this sad news.
    Brock looks like the sort of chap who knows you more than you ever imagined. He knew when you were happy, and he knew when you were feeling miserable or in pain. He had a sixth sense, which all dogs have, but it’s only when they’re teamed with the right person that this shines out of them.

    He will be with you in spirit Hannah, until you and he meet again.
    Bless his beautiful heart. It’s clear you loved him very much.
    Sending you all my love and thinking of you, dear friend.
    Much love ~ Cobs. xxx

    1. Thank you so much Cobs. Me and Brock were very close, and very similar in alot of ways. I hadn’t had such a strong connection with a dog in a long time. He really was wonderful.
      Thank you again for your lovely words. šŸ™‚ xxx

    1. Thank you Cathy. It’s true, but the love is worth it. x I think we’ll have a little break before we get another dog, but I’m sure the next one for us will come along when he’s meant too. šŸ™‚ xxx

  4. I felt badly when you told me about Brock, but seeing his smiling face, and yours, and your picture together … well this just makes my heart hurt Heather.

    1. Thank you. x We’re going away for a few days tomorrow which I think might help. It’s very hard being here at the moment without him. xx I hope you’re having a lovely week. šŸ™‚ xxx

      1. don’t know why my comment doesn’t have my normal avatar and name – it’s me, laura bruno lilly, not anonymous!

  5. So sorry to hear of your loss – doubly so as you are such a tender-heart.
    (not sure this went through the first time so am sending it again)

    1. It has come through to me! šŸ™‚ Even though you’re just coming up as ‘someone’… It’s on a setting that the first post has to be approved but then it should always pop up straight away. šŸ™‚ xxx

  6. I’m so sorry for your loss, Dizzy. I know how it’s like to lose a pet. It’s like losing a close friend. Last week, two of my kittens passed away within three days. ~ Red Rose-Crown

    1. It really is, they become part of our family and our best friends. I am so sorry to hear about your recent losses. It’s so hard and we miss them so much. Sending lots of hugs. xxx

  7. Absolutely beautiful little dog! I know he brought you so much job and I am so sorry for your loss. Even though he isn’t here physically, he will always carry on in your heart. Sending you LOTS of HUGS!!!

    1. Thank you Alyssa. It’s just so hard when they have to go, I so wish he could have stayed with us for abit longer, we only had him just over a year and he was such an amazing dog. x Thank you so much for your kind words, I need to remember that he is always with me in my heart. Thank you. xxx

    1. Thank you Winnie, he was so beautiful. xx And no idea about the like button. I have seem people on wordpress.org with one, but no idea how to get it myself! šŸ™‚ xxx

  8. I am so sorry, such pain and heartache when a member of the family, be it human or animal, suffers and leaves us too soon. I cried for so long and my heart still hurts to think of my old dog, Robbie, who we had to have put down 6 years ago now because he was ill. You were blessed to have each other and I hope you can hold on to those precious memories.
    I feel it’s inappropriate to say this now but I will anyway – I like the new blog layout, very stylish šŸ™‚
    Sending hugs and love at such a hard time šŸŒ·Ā ā™„

    1. Thank you Caz. It is so hard when it’s there time to leave us. I still keep expecting to see Brock pottering around the house, or hear his little feet. I’m spending abit of time each day just remembering him when he was here, and it is helping abit, I just miss him so much though. x What sort of dog was Robbie? Have you had another dog since? xx And thank you for your comment about the blog. šŸ™‚ xxx

  9. I’m so very sorry for your loss. Brock sounds like he was an amazing companion. May he be at peace, and may you find comfort in remembering all the good times you had together. <3

  10. Oh, Heather, I’m so, so sorry! I know how hard it is to loss your beloved pet: I still miss Branna every day and it’s been almost a year. They are so special. I know Brock was happy and loved while you had him and gave you lots of love in return. I hope his memories give you a lot of comfort! Lots of hugs! xxx

    1. Thank you Steph. x I remember when you lost Branna, it’s so hard when it’s their time to go. You just want them to stay forever! I’m trying to focus on the memories and not how much I miss him. x Thank you again. xxx

      1. You’re so welcome! I think it really is the hardest thing that you go through unless you lose a child or maybe a spouse or parent. They just love you so unconditional. It’s hard to focus on that, and I think I cried for weeks and weeks and sometimes still do. You’re welcome! xxx <3 Take care!!

  11. A mere month later Iā€™m catching up on the lives of those outside of myselfšŸ˜Ÿ.

    I was so sad to read that you lost your fur baby! Iā€™m so very sorry Heather.

Let us know your thoughts, they always make for a very happy Dizzy :)
