My Mocha passed away in his sleep. I found him and by that time he was already cold. I was heartbroken. My daughter had just happened to come home from college that weekend and was here with me. We had a wonderful night with Mocha the night before he passed. He was so happy to see her. She was laying down on the couch and he kept walking up to her and laying his head down on the pillow beside her.

I am still lost without him. My other dog, Elvira, is doing ok. She is adjusting. She has NEVER been without Mocha. He is all she has known. I am giving her extra love and attention and she is doing well.

Me, well, Mocha came home today. His ashes did and I had a very bad day. I cried most of the day.. I can't believe he's really gone. I had him for 11 years, since he was 10 months old.

Sorry, to vent like this. I just miss him. He was my best guy.

Here he is, taken around Christmas time this year and yes, he only had one eye.
 
I get it. So sorry for your loss. I have an old girl, a rescue greyhound mix that is around 13 myself. She still makes me get off my butt and go for a walk with her everyday rain, snow or shine. Her knee and hips are stiffening so she has started limping, but she still charges me on the beach when I am not paying attention.
 
Sincerely sorry for your loss, dogs are great and it is tough losing one.
 
Dogs are awesome. I am single so they, plus my cats are the best company for me. I guess, I am going to be one of those old ladies who are going to have animals, instead of a partner sharing my life. *embarrassed*
 
Thank you, TRL, thank you, everyone for your kind thoughts and well wishes. I will always carry Mocha in my heart.

Dogs are the best people I have ever met (no pun intended).
 
It is very tough losing a dog. 2-3 weeks ago, the dog I grew up with died. A few days prior the best cat I've ever came across(my mom has had ALOT) went missing. And a day before the dog died my younger brother came back from Afghanistan. It was an emotional draining week. Especially for my mom.

Sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry for your loss. It's tough to lose a pet.
My two pitbulls were cremated when they passed away. They still sleep in my room :)
 
I am so very sorry for your loss, Lisa.

I have never met a dog I didn't like, I wish I could say the same of humans...
 
Sorry to hear that Lisa, no need to say you are sorry for venting, thats what friends are for
 
You all are the best for understanding.

Mocha and I were very close. Back when I first got him, Jennifer and I were living in Washington State and she would go back to Ohio and live with my parent for 3 to 4 months at a time. It hurt me so much to be separated from her, it was just the two of us, it always has been. I have never married. Jennifer was only 7 years old. Mocha kept me sane at the time. I had just adopted him, he was only 10 months old. During those long months, Mocha would comfort me when I cried from missing Jennifer. He hated when I cried, he always did. He would come to me and just sit by my leg, trying to bring me some comfort.

Mocha made the trip from Washington State back to his new home, in Ohio where we lived with my parents for a while. When my Dad was sick and dying, we didn't know it yet though, Mocha would lay right next to Dad as he sat and read his book or paper. He was always looking out for my Dad, always bringing comfort.

Thanks again, everyone for reading about my very very special guy and understanding why I am so emo right now.
