I'm sorry you lost such a wonderful companion. Thank you for sharing her memory with us.

You have honored your beloved Amaretto with such a lovely tribute. I wish there were words I could write that would somehow lessen your sorrow, but as you know, there are no such words. I am just so sorry for your loss. All those wonderful memories of your sweet girl 'talking', 'telling' her stories, and teaching her brother and sister how to get into some mischief will warm your hearts and sustain you. Her wonderful spirit will always be near you, until that glorious day when you meet again.

I hope your memories comfort you during this time. I am sorry for your loss.

Thank your for sharing her story with us. She seemed to have a full and happy life. I lost my 13 year old Dachshund Daisy two years ago this August. What helped me the most was to write her a letter. I told her "thank you" for being such a good dog and friend. It really helped me remember all the good times and how blessed I was to enjoy her companionship for so long.

it is so hard to lose such a brilliant, long-term companion. i hope you can feel warm forever about sharing this wonderful and very long life. the day she found you she was such a lucky girl.

You have our deepest sympathy. Your beautiful Amaretto had a long life, filled with love, and you will always have your memories of her. She gave you everything she could until it was her time to go, and now she is young again, able to run and play with all who went before her.

Thank you everyone for ALL your kind words. It has been a week, a very quiet week. If you ever thought the pack you had was affected by the others, well we were so WRONG! She was the energy that got EVERYONE up EVERY morning! Now the other two just wait til I go up and GET them out of BED! She was the excitement for ALL FOOD!!
Our newest member came to us in March....a feral kitten; and even the cat (as he is getting BIGGER) misses her. He used to jump and run every morning over her head around her body...she giving a growl or look (as if YOU BETTER MIND!!!). And now he sticks close to DH and me whenever possible...to the point of tripping.
We always loved equally....just did not realize how much a part of their lives she was. We make special effort to get EVERYONE together for some cuddles, rubs, itches, and of course to tell "kitty" to CALM DOWN!!!
Again, THANK YOU ALL FOR ALL YOUR KIND WORDS AND HEART FELT THOUGHTS!!
