Some of my best friends have been dogs. The only way I've found to mitigate it is being happy in the knowledge that they're just built to last less time than us and, while that's a sad fact, it means that Elle was able to enjoy your company for pretty much her whole life.

I know it's small consolation to you, but it seems maybe fairer that she didn't have to outlive you. Humans, after all, are better at rationalising these things.

I'm sorry for your loss, but I'm happy you had her to begin with. Many dogs are not so fortunate; you gave her something special, and it was something that lasted the best part of her life. It's something sadly few people seem to understand.

Despite my deepest sympathy, I'm happy for you both.

One of the worst feelings in the world is having that come out of nowhere. The same thing happened with my dog. One day she was fine then literally the same time the next day she was laying on the operating table getting ready to be put to sleep because there was a tumor the size of a cantaloupe in her abdomen. No warning whatsoever.

It's not easy losing a pet like that but like SirJolt said, you have to remember that Elle wasn't designed to live even 20 years. What you also need to remember though is that throughout her entire life she was fortunate enough to have you there to love her. What more could a dog want?

My condolences to you and your family. <3

damn....I couldn't imagine being that intimate with a dog. My dad told me when he was in China, he had a dog as a kid and the neighbors ate it so we didn't grow up with pets. But I feel for ya dawg.
