She was quite the family dog. Although she was really my mother in law's dog, she ended up living with us due to circumstances and ended up being just like my own. I had the pleasure ( and sometimes — rarely, a little frustration) to live with her for the past four years.
Interestingly enough I came across the podcast by the New Yorker: Out Loud,where Meghan O'Rourke briefly discusses grief.
If you wish, you can find it here . She talks more about losing a person, but I think it doesn't have to relate just to that.
What struck me as incredibly true is that grief cyclical. It doesn't just get better over time like a flu. You have your good days and your bad ones.

I'm sorry for your loss; it's always hard to say good-bye to pets. :(
Awwwwww love the second pic of her, so sorry for your loss.
I know this is belated. But it's so sad when you lose a dog - they become such a part of our family. I'm so sorry.
thanks guys,yes, they feel just like family
My furbabies are like children to me. We had to put down my childhood dog when I was 23 (I think). It's been about four years and I still tear up when I think about her. Losing a family pet is just as traumatic as loosing a person, don't let anyone try to tell you otherwise.
