it’s been a rough 24+ hours. his gotcha day should have been 1/22. he was my best friend. he was the best boy and i’m really hurting right now because he’s gone.
he was there by my side through all my good and bad days and loved me.
i love you forever rileybear. i hope you’re playing fetch nonstop.
Hardest part is losing your fur baby. I’m so sorry for your loss. I would be lying to you if I told you time heals it handy for me and it’s been 4yrs. His soul is still around you. Just notice little things he will let you know that he’s still with you.
My time of healing has still been going its been 15 years and I still hope she knows it wasn't my fault. If i could turn back time just once, she should have just jumped in my car instead of running back into the house
That dog looks like he'd follow you to hell and back. I bet hes still there, walking in your shadow and he'll be the first thing to greet you when you join him on the other side.
Oh no, I’m so very sorry OP. I’m glad that he got to be loved so much and be the center of someone’s world thanks to you. Sending good thoughts your way and R.I.P. to a real one ❤️
I did make myself go walk my last old girl through the very empty park both days, and I've been really trying to focus on enjoying spending quality time with her.
I’m so fucking sorry. I know how badly this hurts. He was a beautiful boy and he knew how loved he was (and still is). I hope you find some peace in the coming days.
My condolences on Riley. Losing a beloved dog is one of the worst things in life. The rainbow bridge had better be real so we can all be with our animals again someday.
Didn't matter who you were, Katie was always there to walk with you and shepherd you down the right path. Even other dogs. I'm certain that's still true.
Rileybear won't get lost. With Katie on the other side, I guarantee no dog will ever get lost on the rainbow bridge.
She'll take good care of your boy. They'll both be waiting. They all will.
I'm... Sorry your Christmas was so rough. I'm glad he passed peacefully. I wish every pet could....
So, so sorry. Rileybear looks like such a sweet man. He looks so much like my boys, River and Bear, who passed a few years ago. I bet that Rileybear had a fantastic time with you.
Your Riley looks so much like my Blitzen, Blitzen also crossed the rainbow bridge but on Christmas Eve. I’m sorry for your loss and I hope the love and memories you have of his sustain you during this difficult transition.
Ug, I lost my soul dog 4 years ago to the day. I spent Christmas Eve and Day laying on the floor with her for 48 hours straight. Would have been longer, but I was in the hospital and got ‘pity discharged’ Christmas Eve because I was temporarily stable enough. I hate the holidays now :(
I am so incredibly sorry for your loss… they are a huge part of our lives, and the void they leave is devastating. Wishing you comfort during this difficult time.
We are saddened to learn about the passing of your beloved dog Riley, on Christmas Day. We wish you comfort as you mourn his loss. The best thing is knowing you did the best you could for him all his life. It is appearant bc you took the time to announce his crossing.
Peace & Blessings.
I battle myself every single day. I always ask myself if Baron has forgiven me by letting him go. I ask the same question about my Bindi.
I knew it was time Baron had prostate cancer he was having such a hard time going to the bathroom and when I let him out he would cry. I hated seeing and hearing him in pain. When he was in the house he to me was fine but started nipping at the other babies. And he’s never done that. That’s the only thing that was different. So I then knew he was in pain. But he never showed it unless he had to go potty. The vet called and confirmed that he had cancer. Went for a second opinion again cancer. I don’t think I’ve ever screamed that loud in my life. When the vet called me I dropped the phone my knees buckled. I know I will live with this for the rest of my life.
Sad news , Christmas may have a more special meaning . In memory of your pup . Bless Riley and all dogs either still here or moved on for what they bring us .

11 years of being your best friend and loved. It was a lifetime of happiness.
Im sorry for your loss.
Man he was a cute guy he looks like a dalmatian with another dogs head im sorry for your loss he looked like a great pal
Weird as it may sound, after losing two this year, a peaceful passing is one of the best gifts they can give you.
No, a peaceful passing is one of the best gifts WE can give THEM.
Pickles was one of my pups that passed this year!
Sweet pickles. What an adorable name ❤️❤️❤️
I lost my Kobe on the 12th (he was almost 18) and Christmas felt empty without him.
Yup, yesterday was just kind of empty 😕
I did make myself go walk my last old girl through the very empty park both days, and I've been really trying to focus on enjoying spending quality time with her.
Hang in there...
😭😭 aw man, I'm sorry to hear that.
This 100% ❤️
Same. Also lost two. I would have loved for either of them to have passed in their sleep.
Remembering Rileybear 🐾🌈💙💐
Im so sorry 😞
RIP, angel. I am so sorry that such a happy time like Christmas will also have a strong sense of sadness mixed in. Very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry op. He may be gone but he will always be within you.
When a dog join our lives we make a promise to them and us:
to love them through every stage of life until their last breath.
And our last act of love is to let them go..until we meet again! 🌈
Grief is love with nowhere to go.
And it comes in waves.
I am sorry ❤️
I’m so fucking sorry. I know how badly this hurts. He was a beautiful boy and he knew how loved he was (and still is). I hope you find some peace in the coming days.
My condolences on Riley. Losing a beloved dog is one of the worst things in life. The rainbow bridge had better be real so we can all be with our animals again someday.
I’m so very sorry for your loss, especially to have experienced it during such a time.

Oh man, so sorry
I'm so sorry for the loss of your beautiful boy
Really sorry for your loss.
I'm sorry. I really hope you got to say goodbye. Trust me he knew you loved him.🌈🌉
Didn't matter who you were, Katie was always there to walk with you and shepherd you down the right path. Even other dogs. I'm certain that's still true.

I'm... Sorry your Christmas was so rough. I'm glad he passed peacefully. I wish every pet could....
I'm so so sorry 💔💜 May his name be a blessing 💜

Safe travels Rileybear! Please say hello to Buster and Benjamin for me and tell them I still miss them as much as the day they left.
So, so sorry. Rileybear looks like such a sweet man. He looks so much like my boys, River and Bear, who passed a few years ago. I bet that Rileybear had a fantastic time with you.
Your Riley looks so much like my Blitzen, Blitzen also crossed the rainbow bridge but on Christmas Eve. I’m sorry for your loss and I hope the love and memories you have of his sustain you during this difficult transition.

Do you know what breed they were? They look nearly identical to my dog around the same age but I have no idea what breed he is
..hard to hear, but a memorable day to remember..
