Cricket went to be with God yesterday, he got hit by a car and died instantly. I have never felt the devastation of losing a beloved animal before. He was like our own flesh and blood. Hopefully healing will begin soon.
oh, I am so sorry. My prayers are with you. It is so hard to lose a loved one, especially our pet children. I lost a beloved pet in January and it seems to get easier, but the pain is never forgotten. Hint: Laugh and remember all the fun times.

Oh little Cricket! I am sorry to hear about this Amanda - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family, and of course, with Cricket. When these things happen suddenly, it is devestating. I wish I could do or say more to help you, but lots of hugs and corgi kisses from me and Algy. Our thoughts are with you!
Dear Amanda,
I am so sorry for the loss of your beloved little "Cricket". My heart breaks for you, as I know too well the loss can be hard. My thoughts are with you.
I went right home and gave Gwynn and Al a bath and combed them.
I hope that before too long, when the pain has subsided, that you will have a new friend.
I will miss Cricket too. His life jacket photo is adorable. We dog-sat a corgi named Cricket once.
Oh Amanda! This breaks my heart for you! Having lost 2 of my own. Mine were like my children so I know exactly how you feel. I hope it is a comfort to you that so many people on this website share your lose. And we are truly so very sorry that your heart is breaking. Cricket IS in heaven!!! Let me assure you of that! God loves his animals very much and there are many references in the bible to animals in heaven. There are many books that can help you through this very difficult time. Please let me know if I can help you in any way. Our hearts and prayers are with you!
