How can 48 hours feel like years! Hearts Broken Wide Open (RIP Philly- November 1, 2017 6:10pm)

Our 9 year old staffordshire bull terrier Philly just moved onto greener pastures. Our hearts lost and we're having to relearn how to move through the day without our friend and old soul family member <3 Just sickening this whole experience and well we could use the support if anyone is up to chat about their beloved over time. <3

I'm so very sorry to read of your loss Amy, our fur friends invade our hearts and leave them broken when they move on. Philly is at rainbow bridge resting and awaiting the day you are all together again

Thank you Ian...its comforting to speak with others that have or are going through this...Im truly at a loss. Much appreciated. Love to you and your girl too

Just seen this and we are truly sorry for your loss at this very difficult time.

Thanks James...Gus looks a cutie too :-) Ill reach out more with my story after time till then just trying to connect after such loss of such a beautiful misunderstood breed and our family member. Cheers from NZ and go well

So sorry to see you have lost such a beautiful boy Our thoughts & love are with you at this sad time x

I'm so sorry to hear such sad news. Phillip had such a noble look about him, a really striking dog.

Please share your memories and pains with us as you need. We are here for you.

So sorry to read this. Philly was beautiful. Rip over the rainbow bridge gorgeous boy.

I really feel for you and the pain you must be going through now xx

Thanks Jen...he was special indeed, hard life before we got him ...we only had him 2 years yet the imprint on our hearts is for an eternity. Love to you and yours x

Thanks Liz....its a comfort knowing theres other SBT lovers out here that are aware of the bond with these special beings, he was truly regal as you say and had such a challenging first 4 years and yet a grand soul and pure love and light, a great reminder for us humans to stay humble no matter what life throws at us <3

Thanks Emma.....and yes its so surreal, every moment it seems I have a memory from our days....the house is empty yet we still talk to him so this is helpful. A very sad transition. No the less a very special gift to have had time with him. Love to Misty from us x

PS love to all your special dogs If I missed reading there names....after one or 2 posts I can lose sight of data due to brain injuries and not be as thorough ;-)

I’d like to send you our love from here, you’re in our thoughts too.

Many people don't understand how deeply we get involved in our pups' lives. It's the same as losing a family member & you need to grieve. Eventually you'll be able to look back with smiles instead of tears, but until then we're here to support you if you need it. We do understand.

Welcome to the forum, by the way.
