Aw Geddes. I am so so sorry. I know how much you and Lesley loved Joe. It’s so heartbreaking. Can’t find the words, as I know how you will be feeling.

Big hugs to you both. Xxxx

Hi Geddes,
I'm so sorry you lost your Gentle Joe. There's nothing I can say that will ease your pain, but he's gone to a better place where there's no pain or death. I firmly believe that animals, especially dogs, have souls, and really go to heaven. How can God not have a special place in His heart for Labradors. I know how hard it is to lose an extra special dog. Sometimes it's as if certain Dogs are really reincarnated humans as they seem to Intuit our feelings, and they can talk with their eyes which are so expressive. I lost my black lab, Flo on March 17th, and wanted to write about her on this forum, but I couldn't do it because of the pain sorrow, and tears. Keep strong, and keep taking things one day at a time, tiny steps, and it will gradually get easier. Be good to yourself, and look after you.
With Love and Hugs,
Wendy

So very sad to hear about the loss of Joe what a wonderful dog he was a real hero.
Some dogs are meant to come into our lives I am sure Joe was destined to become "Joseph Amadeus " Beloved best friend of two lovely people Lesley and Geddes and enrich their Lives so much and he did the job very well.

Hugs for you xx
