RIP - Stella Bear - So Pretty….All the time… (1 Viewer)

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Please forgive me. I’m doing this because she deserves it and because I’m trying to attempt to heal. I’ve been hiding in the basement all day hiding from my 19 year old whom is home from college. It’s been 17 days and I am in complete shambles today.

I’ve been fortunate that I work a position that allows me to take her everywhere with me. Other than a yearly week long trip I haven’t been without her for more than a few hours.

I LOVED AND ADORED this dog. It’s a long story, but this dog came into our life unexpectedly. She was given to us at a time when the wife and I were going through a rough time and this dog was given to us at five weeks. She slept on my chest every day for the first year on the couch in the basement.

My baby, Stella Bear. A 135lb runt who was my everything. I’m a girl dad and she was my girl dog. Most of the time it felt like she was the only one in the house who was nice to me.

I’ve never gone this long without her. I am crestfallen. Daddy loves you so much.

Sending some dog love from my two pups who are laying on the couch next to me. One of them is 14 and she doesnt have long left.

So sorry for your loss. She's beautiful. Hope she's found my Polly up there!

 

[Mister CIA]

Ah man, coming up on the three-year mark since Suzie passed. Sorry for your loss. My Best dog ever!

 

[The Longtime Lurker]

This is tough to read. Sorry for the loss. I know what it's like to love a dog that much. Beautiful girl.

Beautiful girl.

We've all been there - hang in there. It gets better...and it's 100% OK to get another pet to help with the pain of losing one. They're never replaced, but they wouldn't want you to be alone either.

 

[Quint]

i know Stella was THE BEST GIRL and she had a great dog life. much love your way

 

[General Malaise]

Shoot, man. So sorry. Stella looks like she had the happiest dog life imaginable.

Also, we have the same grill. Knew you were a wise man.

That makes it a little tougher. We’ve always had dogs. Usually multiple. Recently we became empty nesters and want to travel more. I know I would love another dog if I got one but I need more time. I’d consider getting one closer to or at retirement.

I’ve had 6 dogs in my adult life but Stella was different. I loved them dearly but I have no shame in saying she was my favorite.

Thanks man. You always make me laugh or bring me happiness. Thank you for that. Literally years and years of it.

Thanks man. Can’t recommend the mobile vet enough. First dog I put down at home and I would never do it at a vet again. (And we love our vet)

Thanks Moops. Always.

So so sorry. I've got one now that I can't bear the thought of losing. Stella's beautiful.

I have a soft spot in my heart for people who rescue or take-in dogs who need a home.

Somewhere and some day, there will be a dog looking for and needing a good home. You'll know when the time is right and there will be no shortage of dogs who need a loving family.

 

[Major]

Really sorry to hear this. 13 years is a great run for a dog the size of Stella. You were surely blessed.

 

[Ilov80s]

She was a beautiful dog, sorry for your loss.

 

[FairWarning]

Beautiful dog, very sorry for your loss.

 

[urbanhack]

So sorry. :(

She was lucky to have you.

 

[Frostillicus]

Sorry for your loss, man.

 

[Skipdog77]

So sorry for your loss. You were both lucky to have each other for so long.

 

[Kiddnets]

unconditional love.....a rare and beautiful thing - Im not particularly religious but I believe a love that strong finds a way to live on forever - I read Rainbow Bridge when I lost my dog and it brought me some comfort - sorry for your loss.

 

[Mrs. Rannous]

Stella was adorable as a puppy. I guess that never changed. I'm so glad you got to share her life.

Sorry for your loss @STEADYMOBBIN 22

 

[belljr]

Sorry Steady

My little lady just turned 15 and is really starting to struggle with arthritis and mobility. I will not do well when the end comes:

 

[northern exposure]

Sorry for your loss. Stella was a beauty.
Our oldest dog, Penny, will be 9 in a few months. We lost a dog, Buster, and it took my wife 6 years to agree to another one which was Penny. My wife will be a mess when it's Penny's time to cross the rainbow bridge. Who am I kidding...we'll both be a mess.

Sorry for your losing a family member, my friend. Losing dog family hurts so bad.
I do love the snow nose: https://i.imgur.com/RAYC4cj.jpeg

We've been empty nesters for quite awhile now and I dearly loved our 2 dogs. Had to give up fishing after the last one died. She always went with me, and after she died I couldn't stop crying while I was fishing. Sweet Jane.

 

[Manster]

Sorry for your loss. We had to put our dog down that was our first kid, so my kids grew up with her. She was 16 and a half. I balled like a baby. She was a good girl. It’s tough man. They are family members.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Thank you all so much for the love and the nice comments . Im really struggling with and yesterday it just hit me again I guess.

Thank you.

I know exactly how you feel/felt. Stella and I visited just about every single county and State Park in the DMV. She was with me for Costco trips, Home Depot and almost everywhere else I went.

She was my every single minute of the day dog. ******** I miss her so unbelievably bad.

Comes and goes in waves. Have to hurt for it to go away.

Today I’m gonna stay busy.


Thanks again folks. Love yall.

 

[bigbottom]

My heart breaks for you Steady. Grieve her as you wish for as long as you wish. But also take solace that you gave her an incredible life and in return she was your lifeline and constant companion. That kind of love is both rare and special, and you both found it in each other.

 

[3C's]

Worst part of having and loving a dog is that their lives are so unfairly short. I've mourned the loss of quite a few and it's never easy. Dreading the day that's not far away when I'll be there again. Very sorry for the loss of your great friend Stella, hoping thoughts of her in better times will bring you happiness.

I'm sorry, GB.

 

[Todem]

So Sorry for your loss...she was a beauty. Dog's rule...period. I know how it feels.....it's gut wrenching.

 

[HellToupee]

She was with me for Costco trips

Im so sorry , dogs love us unconditionally it’s so hard when they pass. Stella was a beautiful girl. On your Costco runs did you happen to buy Stella a Costco hot dog? It’s a requirement for my boy Bowie

 

[dickey moe]

So sorry GB. I believe dogs do go to heaven.
