It's a sad, sad day for our family! Cory is no longer greeting us with a wagging tail when we come home. With almost 17 years of love and companionship Cory left us this morning and I hope she is bouncing around with a spring in her step again! She was a good dog and a great "old lady dog"! My heart hurts!!!
RIP

Sorry for your loss. Know the feeling well. Most dogs are better than many humans that I have known.
I am so sorry to hear of your loss i just went threw the loss of my old girl this fall and i miss her daily
:'(
Cory is in a better place, you were a responsible owner by giving her a long, good life :) Its hard, but don't say you wont get another like I did, two months later my mellow cat of 18 years was replaced with the complete opposite cat that is spastic and climbs the curtains and licks the mirror ;D I feel deeply for your loss!!!!
So very sorry to hear TR
Prayers are with you and your family
I'm sorry to hear this TR. She'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow bridge and greet you with the sloppiest of kisses when you arrive.
My furry ones and I will say a little prayer for you and your family tonight.
So sorry for your loss. I have gone threw it several times in my life so far. I think one of the blessing is that we live long enough to give lots of love to a number of great pets through out our lives. I cannot remember ever not having a dog or cat or bird or hamster. We had a raccoon for a number of years and man was life fun with him around. It will get easier, just remember the joy they brought you.
As Tiny Tim said:

Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

im sorry to hear of your loss Testrocket having lost a pet like yours it breaks our hearts. my prayers are with you , your family and loving pet
So sorry to hear TR, I know it's rough to lose a good friend. When I lost Charger a few years back it just tore a hole in my heart that has never been filled. Dogs have away of getting in your heart and never leaving.
Kimmie and I send our thought's and prayers to you and Jan.
If you can't love a face like that, you just ain't right.
She looks like a charmer, TR.
Sorry for your loss.
Awrighten.

Sorry for your loss TR. We do not realize how much our pets mean to us until they are gone. I lost my dog of 15 years about 7 months ago. I still find myself calling her name when greeting the dogs at the backyard :(
Sorry about your loss TR
I feel your pain.
Sorry to hear that TR. It is a sad day.
Well, if that won't bring a tear to your eye nothing will. I am so sorry TR.
Very sad to hear this TR. You sure must have been a wonderful person to have your friend live that happy and that long. She's gone on to a better place buddy. I hope you get a chance to give another pup a great home like you have.
Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend and confidant.
Our sentiments match what everyone has said so far. You will have a heart ache for a long time. It does get easier, but our pets leave paw prints on our hearts forever.
Ask Mr how long it takes -after losing one of our dogs - before I can wipe the nose prints off the front door.
Scott and I know how you feel, and it just sucks. I am going to go give Tasha a BIG HUG now....
Take care,
Mrs

I've been looking at this post all night and still can't seem to come up with any worthy words or phrases except to let you know I'm thinking of you, your family, and Cory.
Man... It's tough loosing a family member after 17 years. Our last dog, Charmin, shared his life with use for 17 years as well.

My condolences. Sorry for the loss of your family member.
TR,
Very sorry for your loss.
