So sorry for your loss. I know how bad it hurts right now, please know that you will feel better with time. :(

I am so sorry for your loss of Gunner, I wish there was something I could do or say to make you feel better. 

I really have no words that can comfort you at this time, and I feel your pain and loss in your words.  My condolenses on the loss of your best buddy.  

I would suggest reading Bill at Rainbow Bridge.  It's about a guy who bulldog passes and how he deals with it.  Know that Gunner is still with you and he is happy for the great life you gave him.  The best advice is to give yourself time to begin healing.  You will have good days and not so good days, but it will get better.

You are in my thoughts and prayers.  My religion does not believe that animals go to heaven either because they don't have souls.  Whatever.  I believe with all my heart that they are waiting to be reunited with us when we pass from the earth. 

All of us are here and ready to give you all the support we can.

He will live on forever in your heart.

I can understand how you feel!  We are never every ready to say goodbye to our babies..  (((HUGS)))  :-(

When I was a little kid (probably 3rd grade) my piano teacher, a nun, told me that dogs didn't go to heaven. Her logic was that since dogs didn't talk, they didn't go to heaven. I told her, "Well, babies don't talk either, and they go to heaven."

You probably believe that God sent dogs to be our heartbeats and to teach people how to love. A God like this wouldn't have a heaven without dogs, expecially since for you, a heaven without dogs is no heaven at all.

In your heart you know that dogs are love and that they will truely be in heaven. Your church may disagree (for now) but it's OK for you to listen to your heart.

my heart breaks for you. I'm sure Gunner had a wonderful life with you, sending you prayers for peace & closure.

I hope that as time passes your happy memories with your sweet boy will help ease your heartache.

for your loss of Gunner.  I know how sad and painful this time is for you.  In time it will get better, but there will always be a piece of your heart gone.  I know I did alot of crying and did take a few days off of work.  I hope you can find some comfort with your group. I think everyone grieves in their own way.  Hugs to you :(

i understand what you're going thru.  You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

And all I can suggest to you is KEEP BUSY.  Go to the movies (hubby and I stayed at the theatre for three movies in a row - I don't even remember what they were).  Go shopping (without your credit cards), go hiking, go visit family members/friends you've been meaning to but never got around to, go see people with little kids - they're joy will distract you, clean out your closets while listening to loud music, garden, etc.....

For that first month, really, as soon as I sit down, I couldn't bear it.  I was always on the go.  Had to.  The pain will become manageable within a little while.

I'm so, so sorry about your loss of Gunner.  I know how you feel, I really do.

And I'm pretty sure my girl was up there greeting him at the Rainbow Bridge, a special heaven for animals.  They're probably having a nice snack right now and then they'll take a nap  :)

death ends a life but it does not end the relationship which struggles on in the survivors mind towards some resolution it may never find.
