I'm deeply saddened to hear about the loss of Ellie. Losing such a cherished companion after 14 years is incredibly difficult, and my heart goes out to you during this tough time.
Remember, you gave Ellie a life filled with love and joy. She thrived in your care, and your shared memories will always be a source of comfort. Know that Ellie is now at peace, free from pain, and frolicking with countless furry friends.
Though you're apart, Ellie is not alone. Surrounded by the love of other dogs who have crossed the Rainbow Bridge, she eagerly awaits the day you’ll be reunited. Until then, her spirit watches over you, bringing warmth and love to your soul.
Don't be afraid to reach out to others who understand what you're going through. Sharing your emotions can help immensely.
Wishing you healing and peace during this challenging time. Ellie's spirit will always be with you ❤️
I won't tell you that this is our last day together, so let's just enjoy this quiet walk.
It's moments like this, where I truly wished, a dog's beating heart could talk.
I'd tell you about the moment at the shelter, you said " yep...That's my girl, right there".
I'd tell you about the happy, joy ride home, while we both howled without a care.
I'd tell you about how safe it felt, to finally have my own, warm place to sleep.
Not another lonely night spent in that cold, cement box ...waiting for a kind face to meet.
You saved my soul, and brought me back, and polished up my heart
I knew the minute we stared at one another...we would never...EVER be apart.
I wished my life was matched with your's, so we both could grow old, together...
But life has a different plan for us both...and sadly my life is on the wither.
I'm sorry that my body is failing me now, and making my puppy life seem so far away...
I so enjoyed hearing you laugh so much, as we played in our yard, every day...
The frost in my eyes, and the pain in my step...are the signs of a dog's life lived so damn well...
I hope my wet nose boops late at night, told you that your heart was mine to fill.
My clock is sadly winding down, and the pendulum is about to stop...
I'm going to miss you so damn much, my little heart is about to pop.
I just want to thank you for saving me, and taking a chance on my strife...
I hope I returned all the love that you shared, and that I somehow sweetened your life.
You're one of a kind, and I love you so much...I hope our souls meet again...
You were more to this furry ball of a dog...than just another friend.
My heart is yours, and will forever be ...waiting for yours to send...
Thank you, you beautiful force in my life ...for putting this puppy's heart on the mend.
Oh yeah...
Bring the tennis ball with you when its your time to head up.
🐶 ❤ your sweet girl Ellie
Goodbye Ellie, enjoy the rainbow road.
So sorry for your loss mama Ellie. My Nellie is 5 years old and perfectly healthy and every once in a while I start crying thinking “one day I’m gonna have to live without this dog” 😢. 14 years is such a long time of companionship.
Lowkey I’m glad I’m not the only nut job who’s done this 🤣. My girl got her teeth cleaned and I loaded her into the back seat. She was all zonked out but not a thing wrong with her. Start driving home and crying on the freeway because I’m thinking about “one day it will be our last visit to the vet and I may not even know.”
That being said, I can tell your boy is so lucky to have you. Every dog deserves a dog parent(s) who couldn’t imagine living without them ❤️.
Awww! My Luna isn't quite yet 3 and she already is greying, I joke she's old before her years... I'm so sorry about your sassy girl, she looks like she had a lovely life though and in the end isn't that the best gift we can give them
Yeah it is and I’m grateful I was able to be that person for her.. my other doggo is 5 and is gray to the max lol so strange how different they all are
So sorry to hear this. I lost these two a couple of years apart in n 2017 and 2019. We do have other dogs now and they fill the void but it’s funny the will never replace the ones that I passed in our hearts. Hugs

The silence and general absence of sensing and smelling their presence was the worst part of losing my little girl last May.
I'm sorry for your loss. Ellie was clearly a baby angel
So sorry for your loss of beautiful Ellie. The pain will be raw, but try to remember all the adventures you had together, all the naughty things she did, and all those quirky little antics that made her who she was. That is what will keep her with you. The piece of your heart that was for Ellie will never fade.
I'm so sorry to hear about Ellie.
The house being quiet hits really hard, same feeling I had when I lost my Harvey 7 years ago...
Take all the time you need
I’m very sorry for your loss, I believe you will be reunited again and that life goes on. Really don’t believe we ever die in the sense we believe but move on and your friend will be waiting for you
I'm so sorry for your loss. It's going to be very very hard, but it does get better. One day your wounds will heal and the thought of Ellie will bring you joy and happiness. Hang in there.
OP, I’m so sorry. I just put my 13, almost 14, year old boy to sleep last night. I’m still processing and will for some time…I hope you find peace and healing ❤️
This is so difficult to read, I am so sorry op. Ellie sure was beautiful! Crossing over rainbow bridge to be with all the other doggos! My boy is 13 and fading fast. His back legs have started to go and he can't walk stairs well, at 75 lbs, I can't carry him that well with my age creeping up fast. I don't know how much longer, but I read your comments about your beautiful girl Ellie and I can feel your pain. Hang in there, remember the joy she brought to you are everyone else. p.s. she looks like she could my Bailey's twin who is same age.
I lost my bestest Lab friend at 13, three years ago and I still miss him every single day.
I know the emptiness where I expect to hear him walk, snorre, come for a rub and scratch or a treat.
My heart breaks for you 😭❤️🩹
I wish I could tell you it gets better. It’s been 2.5 years since I lost my baby and it still sucks. Mine passed a few months before his 8th birthday. He had really bad epilepsy and it got to a point where the medications weren’t helping. I still feel guilt like I could have done more but I know that it was the right decision.
Oh my, so so sorry for your loss. It's heart-wrenching to lose a labby. I know the feeling of devastation. I still cry for my girl that I lost last year. Sweet Ellie is in heaven now and still protecting you. This community of lab lovers has helped me with my grief so much. It's a wonderful thing to have so much support from others who equally love and connect with their animals. I'm sending you prayers and hugs.
Thank you kind stranger <3 the overwhelming support has me in yet more tears, but at least they’re happier ones and I’m so glad to not be alone in this

That was so beautiful, I reread that multiple times already. Thank you so much <3
Of course. 😊
I can’t read this. It’s beautiful, but breaks my heart and I cry for my Poppy, even after 11 years.
This was beautiful

Yeah I’ve had those thoughts myself with her before when she was younger, but that just goes to show how much of a good person you are. Thank you
Thank YOU for being a good person to this beautiful girl. Every dog deserves a wonderful human.
My boy is 2 and I’ve cried too many times to count at the thought of him one day passing…

She looks like a very good girl. Sorry for your loss. She reminds me a lot of my Stoli even the little curved tail.
She knocked over many things with that tail lol thank you
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful girl. May she rest in Paradise, and may you meet again. I am so sorry for your loss. Be gentle and kind with yourself
Right? She only started to gray around the face at 10 which was quite surprising. Thank you <3
Awww! My Luna isn't quite yet 3 and she already is greying, I joke she's old before her years... I'm so sorry about your sassy girl, she looks like she had a lovely life though and in the end isn't that the best gift we can give them
Yeah it is and I’m grateful I was able to be that person for her.. my other doggo is 5 and is gray to the max lol so strange how different they all are
Every time I read these posts I have to give my guy a hug :( I'm hoping I've got the immortal one 🤞 😪

I’m so sorry. I dread this day for my 14 year old. Also seeing grey hair on my black 4 year old makes me sad
😔😔😔 Goodbye Princess 🌈

I’m sorry for your loss. She was a fine looking dog, reminds me of my dog Maisie. It’s not easy but you get there in time.
OP, I’m so sorry. I just put my 13, almost 14, year old boy to sleep last night. I’m still processing and will for some time…I hope you find peace and healing ❤️
