Animal Lovers - Prepare to Shed a Tear

Just been sent this link, pictures are wonderful. I'm sure it will touch all animal lovers on here who have lost a pet. I have 4 dogs and one is getting close to the end, not sure I'd use a service like this one, but it seems to capture something really special.

You have been warned you might shed a tear (not cruelty related for info.)

    Beautiful pics. It would be so lovely to have such a sweet reminder of our dogs as they near the end of their all too short lives.

    I love the one of the black dog gazing up into his owner's eyes. He looks so much like my last dog.

    Big lump in my throat now.
  • i am sitting here with tears streaming down my face a beautiful set of pictures of very much loved dogs i lost muggles 2 weeks ago today and i miss him so so much i still look for him and move my feet to the side of the bed i took a couple of photos of him the day we went for our last visit and i will treasure them he is now safely in a box on my shelf with angus my old lab cross november recently has taken 3 of my much loved pets over the last 7 years and i miss them all
  • I clicked on the link thinking it'll be fine - it's just pics of dogs - and oh dear where did these tears come from? Some of those dogs look just fine, you would never know they were near the end. My pup's only 7 months and I'm already wondering how I'd ever live without him!!
