Kiri, is 14, and is showing the same signs of ageing as your lovely Hamish. <br /><br />I know one day soon we will have to make the same horrible decision, but I just wanted to thank you for writing this blog. Despite it making me bawl my eyes out, it is comforting to know that someone else knows how I'm feeling. <br /><br />Jo and KiriAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192099534489713686.post-81238360057381693572010-04-21T08:31:46.026+01:002010-04-21T08:31:46.026+01:00Hi Gail.

I honestly do not have anything to say to make you feel better and I cannot fully comprehend what you are feeling. My heart is breaking for you and I am trying not to cry at work when I read this very sad event. Stay strong and take care of yourself. I hope that Bertie can help in filling the void that Hamish left behind.

You and Hamish have etched out a very special places in the hearts of so many families. Your relationship and the way you expressed and shared it has been a joy in our days. We so hope that you are finding some strength - that that you already owned and called your own, and that that your blogging family is sending your way. We so hope that each day become just a tiny bit easier - even if it's not a measurable difference for a long time. And we selfishly hope that you stick around and somehow, in whatever way and at whatever time it feels right for you, continue blogging. Hamish will be missed dearly, and remembered well. We don't want to miss you, as well. <br /><br />Take time for yourself, and know you are not alone in the healing process. <br /><br />Love<br />Jake and Fergi and Sally (and NinaGirl - once again in the mountains)TwoSpecialWireshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12821811843038285541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192099534489713686.post-6576279994351990132010-02-22T04:17:16.042+00:002010-02-22T04:17:16.042+00:00Oh, I am so very sorry to hear about Hamish!

I actually had tears in my eyes when we met a Westie in a wee coat.<br />It is such a devastating bereavement to lose a pet but I do believe there is comfort in your loss being understood.<br />That is the best part of the DWB community - we really don't need to explain it to each other cos we know.<br />Right now you need the time to grieve for Hamish but I was reading Caryl's comment and thinking she must read my thoughts!<br />We don't want to lose you - stay close. If you feel like blogging blog if you don't that's OK.<br />Our email is on the blog - marthabasset@googlemail.com if you do want to get in touch.<br />I sadly, probably cos I am so old, have lost a few dogs and each one has devastated me. <br />Each time I have said I cannot ever go through that again and vowed never to have another dog.<br />I am so glad you are not saying that - I know in time it will be the very best tribute to our wee Hamish. <br />Take care of yourself, the only advice I can give is do whatever feels right for you. Cry, walk, laugh whatever.<br />love<br />Vanessa xMartha https://www.blogger.com/profile/14339058720002383045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6192099534489713686.post-87537224166983074182010-02-20T19:25:03.964+00:002010-02-20T19:25:03.964+00:00We are so sorry to hear about Hamish passing.
