I'm very sorry for your loss. We have gone through this now 4 times in our life's. We have no more tears left to shed. My wife and I have decided not to have another dog, Its simply to hard on our soul to go through another death.
Tomot,
Please consider going to your local dog pound AFTER Christmas and give some unwanted mut a good home. Dogs live for approx. 10 to 14 years, that's their innings and I imagine they are happy enough with the deal. It would be a shame for a dog lover such as you and your wife not to share your lives (again) with a hairy little buddy. You will be glad you did

Oh we are definitely going to get another Dog. it's just that right now we are in the process of moving and building a new home. (that could've been a great cause of anxiety to Phoebe --she has only known the home where she lived--who knows what she sensed?)
But suffice it to say that when we are settled in about a year from now or so, we will be adopting again.

Wait! Where the render of the new home?

I have a render. . .but I did it a long time ago when I wasn't very good. (Im not very good now, but back when I was worser. ..
) it's kinda down and dirty but it conveys the idea. If you look closely at the back door you see Phoebe (or rather a facscimile of her) sitting there. Alas. . .she won't be there. . . .neither will that patio.

Your house looks pretty good David!
Keep up the good work! -
We are very excited about it. It's been in the works for 2 years-- we should've been in it by now, and all the Christmas stuff was put in storage in 08. But circumstances made it not to be.
Thanks for your good words.

Sorry to hear of your loss, David, we lost Kerby just a few weeks ago as well... no more walkies.
-
Thanks Fletch. she was great.
-
Okay .. .this was sent to me by a co-worker hoping it would cheer me up a bit. It did, and yet, the tears still came. I defy anybody to watch this without choking up.

I'm calling the SPCA, those folks left their dog outside in the middle of winter with snow on the ground!
Cute vid.

I know, when something like that happens to you then you get something like this really kills you.

Hi,
On the night of Monday the same fate befell us. Our 14 years old dachshund girl went into the happy hunting grounds. It creates a huge void and a pain as if a child passed away. It will take some time until we have processed it.

Karlheinz. . .I am very sorry for your loss. It is a big deal. We've both lost members of the family. It hurts but as we are finding out . . .when we think of Phoebe, we laugh more than we cry. That helps a lot.

Folks, if you can torrent it or whatever, the latest BBC Horizon science programme is about dogs and their relationships with humans. It was an excellent documentary, just don't let your daughters see it, because they will forever pester you to get hold of a domesticated silver fox!!
BBC Two - Horizon, 2009-2010, The Secret Life of the Dog
How research into dogs is giving scientists a greater understanding of human behaviour.

Thanks for your words David.

Sorry to hear about your dog Karlheinz. Yep, it takes time but I am sure you will find a new 'pack' member again.
My daughter gave me 'CESAR'S WAY' for Xmas. I am half way through it and am finding it a very enjoyable and informative read. I liked Cesar Millan the first time I saw him on TV in the Dog Whisperer. He has a very special understanding of how dogs tick and I have learned a lot from watching him in action. His book has opened a total new understanding of dogs for me.
Silver Fox! I must definitely check out that BBC program if I can get may hands on it.

Hi Mike,
thank you also for your kind words.
At present we are not sure whether we buy another dog again. But maybe I'll be looking at this book anyway. I've just found German translations of this author.Karlheinz
