My condolences on your loss. I've had two of my German shorthair pointer friends die in my arms. Out of the six we have been blessed with , #6 is still with us. She is a light in our lives. Her name is Pup , and the the reason we got her , was to help me out of a bout of PTSD brought on by retirement from a 41 yrs. long very high stress career. . My Son , a therapist , diagnosed me with that sickness , and shortly thereafter at age 48 , he unexpectedly died. My Sister died , and a best friend I grew up with , died . Lastly , our German Shorthair , Putso , died in my arms as well. I was a mess , and over the last six years of "PUP therapy" , I am better than I was. I'm convinced dogs come from above from our Father. I'm sure we will see them again.

I am truly sorry for your loss. I to have had 2 german shorthairs. They are one of the best bird dogs ever bred. I can tell you stories for days about those two little bastards
Seventy plus years old. Have had dogs most of my adult life. I still tear up when I remember them. Chloe is our current dog. 12 YO Black Lab. Sweet disposition and active and eager to please. Mortality is ........inevitable.
Condolences. Makes for a sad and depressing day. We have a pet Boot Hill on a knoll behind the house that overlooks a valley. It is place of reverence. Hard to explain to some. Most understand.

Lost my best girlfriend a week after my step dad passed. He was one of the few people she liked. It will get less painful.
Awww! I wouldn't be scared to give her a kiss on the snoot.
Our canine - and sometimes feline friends - interject themselves so deeply with us that their loss can cause deep depression.
Sixteen years ago on a very cold (-21 deg.) night in eastern Oklahoma, I found a young half-lab dog trying to burrow into the pile of my donkeys' hay. I brought the shivering critter into the house; she right away snuggled herself into y side and lap, my cat Kitty curled up against her.
Two years later, she was certified as my Service Dog - and we have not been apart since. I named her Sunny, both for her coat color and her disposition.
We've been through some interesting times, she and I. Couple surgeries and recoveries for me, but thankfully none for her except being spayed - the two bullets in her happened before we met.
Sunny kept me from falling if we walked, and let me know if my BP got too high, or blood sugar too low.
Sunny took the path to the Rainbow Bridge this afternoon, where she will wait for me. My heart is broken, but I know we will meet again.

Very sorry for that loss.
My mom sings, "you are my sunshine, my only sunshine, so pleasedint take my sunshine away," to the family dog in the morning as her good morning greeting to him. While your sunshine was taken away,,, it shall rise again with you someday. God bless you and Sunny.
My most sincere sympathy. I have a 15 year old springer not in the best shape anymore.
I 100 percent know you will see her again, my condolences.
One of the hardest thing about loosing buddy is having to deal with my RLS. For the last 7 years he's been curled up next to my legs at night keeping them at bay.
And thank you for sharing your story
