Our 14 and a half year old pomeranian Copper died just about an hour ago- our house is filled with sadness.
My wife bough Copper from a breeder when she was six weeks old. I arrived two years later almost to the day. If God was ever to create the perfect little dog- it would be Copper- this little seven pound dog was filled with more love than anything anyone could ever imagined....as I type this tears are streaming down my face- my wife and I can't bare to look at each other as we break out crying....
I am so sorry for your loss.
I have no doubt that when I pass my loyal K9 friends will be there to greet me. Remember, all dogs go to heaven.
Yes, those little Poms really “get to ya”. I lost my little one, Bea, over two years ago, and I still miss her happy little face and waving tail! She was two months short of 16, so it was not a complete shock.
I really feel for your family and pray for your sadness to be eased and comfort for you now.
I, too, hope that Copper and Bea will meet us some day.

I’m so sorry.
I’m am so sorry for the loss of your Copper. I know how very hard it is. I lost my Sammy (13 yr. old Cocker Spaniel) on June 28th of 2008. He was my love and he also passed away here at home after a very difficult night. He was my comfort and I miss hugging him and loving him. He will always be in my heart.
Please go to www.petloss.com
It is a great website to honor our pets and get a little comfort.
I hope you will be comforted in the days ahead and might be able to consider, at a future point in time, to enjoy the companionship of another furry friend.
God bless you and your wife- we’ve been there, and it’s sure a long lonely road to walk.
I’ve lost three dogs of my own, and my folks and I [when I was younger] lost three more. The gift of dogs is unlimited love. The cost is too short a life.
My deepest condolences.
I've been through that part myself. Two years ago, my beloved Jack who was ill with Cushing's disease but was being treated became ill while his vet was gone for Christmas vacation. I had to take him to another vet twice, the last time he said take him home we will do some bloodwork tomorrow.Well, Jack died that night and I have done the 'what if' to myself for months after that, even now. However, in my heart I know it was his time to cross the rainbow bridge and will wait for me there.
Since then, I have adopted two brats whom I love almost, if not as much as Jack. I will always be grateful for all the dogs in my life as they always gave unconditional love!!
Being adoptees and previously abused they have their issues, but I am always happy to tell them they are safe and sound now!
I am so sorry for your loss and pain.
I am so sorry to hear about Copper. You may find comfort in the poem called Rainbow Bridge which talks about pets when they go to heaven.
Been there, done that a couple of years ago with a 13-year-old cat. Easily the saddest day of my 50 year life. I know what you are going through.
I’m so very sorry to hear about your loss. I know it hurts.
Copper must have been wonderful, very smart, and funny! I always remember my old dog Snoopy the half beagle/pitbull mix and Suggie the chiuaua/pickenese mix. When I get to heaven, I can’t wait to see them!
One more thing. Because I have lost dogs in my life, I volunteered to work at the local dog pound. My orientation is next week and I am very excited. I found myself going there every few weeks not to adopt but to say hello to all the lonely dogs. I wish I could take them all home but cannot. I feel that dogs are a present sent by God.
Thank you so much. I will check out that forum.
I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Pets have a way of working themselves deep into our hearts.
After reading another post I just installed the search engine dogpile on my computer. I saw that they have a section where you could write stories about your pet. I thought you might be interested. It helps to talk about it and, as you can see from the responses, many people do understand how your heart is breaking.
thank you everyone for your well wishes- I had tears rolling down my cheeks reading them and it will probably happen a number of times in the coming days as I come back to this thread....
Copper touched a lot of people- we’ve been getting calls from everyone all day to say how sad they are to hear the news- even the vet called when she found out to say she was broken hearted....
I really hope dogs do go to heaven- I think of all the miserable things I’ve done in my life and only hope there is a place for me above- then I think of how wonderful little Copper was all the time and how much love she gave and how deserving she is of a spot in heaven-
the doctor said she diead of heart failure- I told the doctor little Copper had so much love in her heart to give it probably all busted out- she was truly a gift from God....
Sorry to hear of your loss.
I’ve been there before.
My husband and I rescued a dog after our beloved dog passed.
It helped us to have a new friend, even though our friend could never be replaced.
I’m very sorry for your loss. Copper was a very lucky dog to have had you to love her for so many years.
