I didn't know today would be your last. That I would have to say goodbye to you so fast.
I'm so numb I can't feel anymore and praying that you'll walk right through that door.
And tell me that I was only dreaming. You're not really gone as long as I believe.
Your love lives inside of me and I will hold on tight.
You always made my troubles feel so small. You were always there to catch me if I'd fall.
So I'll hold you as close as I can, longing for the day when I see your face again.
Abby was by far the best dog I have ever seen and I was very lucky to have her as part of my life and as long as I did. I will forever miss her.
She brought so much joy and happiness to me each and every day. Words cannot express how much I miss her.
I look forward to seeing her again someday in Heaven. It will be the greatest joy I will ever know when I see her again.
I know that she misses me as much as I miss her because she wanted to be close to me all the time and was stressed whenever I wan't around.
Saying goodbye to someone you love with all your heart is one of the hardest things that you will ever deal with in life.
And that's not just for humans, but also for our furry family members.
Losing a dog that means everything in the world to you can leave an irrepairable hole in your heart and change your life forever,
regardless of all the sweet memories that you have of cherished times you had together over numerous years.
You just miss them a lot and alwys will. You wish with all your heart they were still here and could hold them close, even just one more time, and tell them how much you love them.
One of the grestest tragedies in life is not realizing the value of a relationship until after death has ended one side of it.

Although Abby was about two years old when I got her she was mine to
care for, love, and teach for the rest of her life. It was like
having a child. She relied on me for her basic life needs, like
feeding, walking, potty breaks, and love. I relied on her for emotional support,
entertainment, and and most of all love.
Though unlike a child who would grow up,
move out, and start a life of their own, Abby was always by my side,
needing me as much as I needed her. We did everything together - we
were inseparable.
She meant more to me than most
people in my life did, and we had a bond that no one could break.
Our lives revolved around each other, in the most co-dependent kind
of way. I had to plan my days around her, and she had to wait for me
for everything she needed. And we gave each other our all.
Fourteen years went by, and our bond only grew stronger with
each passing day. We traveled, explored the world, and grew up
together. And then...she was gone. Although she had a cancerous
tumor, she recovered from the surgery only to have old age take her away from me two
years later. I felt like half of me died that day. I felt lost, like
I was alone in the world and had no one to turn to. Of course, all
of my human friends, my wfie, and family were there to support me, but it
wasn't the same. I wanted my dog more than I've ever wanted anything
else.
I have lost many friends and family
members over the years, but nothing hurt as bad as much as
losing my beloved canine companion. No one ever relied on me the way my dog did.
She needed me, and only me. People
would be able to fulfill their needs in another way. No relative
ever required so much of my time, energy, and love. No friend ever
showed me such non-judgmental, pure, unconditional love. Abby was my responsibility, my protector, my friend, my comforter, my crying towel, and my everything. She made me happy, laugh, cry, yell, dream, and smile. The mere thought of her gave me comfort. She never judged me or thought poorly of me, and she always wanted to be around me. She was always there for me. So no, I don't think it's wrong that I was more affected by losing her than some people. After all, she was my dog, my very best friend. She always had the adoring look on her face that I miss so much.
