Sleep tight now.

Janey , I can't see to answer , I think I've got something in my eye , I'm so sorry ... Love to you both x

So sorry to hear yet another sad tale Janey,such a beautiful little soul :) Never a good time but it would have been nice to have one more lazy summer to enjoy.Lots will be thinking of you in the days to come xx

Oh, Janey... so sorry to hear this news of darling Finn..
Such a beautiful boy...
You have wonderful memories of him...
love & hugs from Terra, Conker, Truffle and Crocus. xxx

i had to cry today when i heard the news of Merlin. I just could not help
myself, i think it was more for Arlene & Hubby, because i know how they
were feeling, especially when you have a pet of your own. I am so very
very sorry Janey, this is a terrible time for you and your family, and like Amy
i too have something in my eye. Condolences to you all. xxx

Oh I`m so sorry Janey, I can`t believe this has happened to you too. I lost my Jake in November and I know how dreadful it is for you. Take care. xxxx

So sorry to hear the sad news of Finn, Janey. I hope all the happy memories eventually help to heal your pain. Will be thinking of you.

Janey - I send you hugs and my thoughts at this very sad time. xx

Janey.....just commented on Arlenes blog...about Merlin....I hope they both have a safe journey together.We are both thinking of you all with love..xxx

so sorry,thinking of you. x

How devastating for you Janey, we know it will one day happen but it's still a shock to the system, it goes to show just how much they mean to us. They're just so happy to be with us all the time whatever we're doing. They give so much and ask so little. Your life will have a big empty space in it now, an awful feeling. Our time together with our beloved pet is so short so I make a point of reminding myself how very lucky and honoured I am to wake and see another day with him. I so wish that I could find the words that would ease your grief but only time will heal. We;ll be thinking of you.

thinking of you....xx

Janey, so sorry to hear your sad news...Hugs...xxxx

Janey i am so sorry to hear about Finn,
big hugsss to you xx

hugs xx

Don't ask me why Janey but since we lost our dear little Toddy I'm always reminded of him when the signature tune to The Archers' comes on the radio. Now I'll be reminded of finn whenever I listen to 'Rodriguez Guitar Concerto' a pice that always reminds me of the Spanish hinterland..

What a terribly sad blog, but also uplifting to have such lovely friends.
I'm new to GOY and didn't know Merlin but I send you my best wishes. x

So sorry Janey my thoughts are with you xx

So so sorry Janey, my thoughts are with you and your family. x

So sorry Janey.
Finn will always be with you in your heat. May your precious memories carry you through this sad time I'm thinking of you x

Thank you all so much......I was unsure about writing this, but all your kindness is helping so much.
Ron - we love this famous piece, his music of the mountains is just perfect for Finn.....what a lovely thought...thank you.

Lump in throat here Janey, how sorry I am to read your sad news. Love Dawn x

I started the day off reading about Merlin and now I'm finishing it by reading about Finn. What a sad day.
I'm sorry to hear about your loss Janey.
God bless xx

This is the hardest part of owning pets - we can only take comfort from knowing we always did our best by them. My thoughts are with you too, Janey. Hugs.

So sorry about poor Finn Janey,our hearts are with you God Bless take care Rita xx

Janey, sorry to hear of your sad loss also. x

There is not much that I can add that has not already been said, it is always a sad time when our pets leave us, but look at all the lovely memories you have of Finn, so take comfort in those, we have all been there love....xxxxxx

RAINBOW BRIDGE
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance.
His bright eyes are intent; his eager body quivers.
Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again.
The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….

Oh Janey, so sorry to hear your sad news too :-(

Oh Janey....I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. I'm sending lots of hugs your way. :o( ((((((((((hugs))))))))))))

because of the pain it's tempting to say never again, no more pets, but we all know deep down that life would have less meaning without them, better to have loved and lost than not to have loved at all. I remember reading that when a Welsh farmer lost his collie, he carried it all the way along their daily walk....I can identify with that.

O No :( How awful 2 here of another loved Pet passing away :( Big Hugs 2 ease your pain Janey your in my thoughts Jacxxx

So sorry to hear your sad news my thoughts are with you x

Janey.... im writing this with tears down my face.... so sorry to hear your news.... i know how you feel..........xxxxx

Oh Janey cant see to type with the tears, but just want to say how very sad I am to hear about Finn, know how you are feeling take care and God Bless. xxx

Thank you all so much...I feel very honoured to be part of such a wonderful GoY family......your comments mean so much,..we were hoping Finn would have had more time, but with two months of vets treatment and then kidney failure, we knew it was time to say goodbye. He is buried in the garden which he loved and we have planted a Cordyline variegata for him....it is in the warmest spot.

Thank you Piersdad I am going to copy the piece you sent....it is very moving and what we would all hope to think.....

Carole, I know you are still getting over the loss of your lovely Polly, soon be Spring again...and we can look forward to sun and flowers.....Finn will always be in the garden with me and Ian......

XXX

What a good idea to choose a sunny special place for Finn in the garden... a little reminder of warmer Spain... and a Cordyline variegata for him... Yes, he'll always be with you in the garden. xxx

Janey how sad, its so hard to find the right words, but hope Finn & Merlin are resting together, all my thoughts are with you both. xx

So many of us have been having to say "au revoir" to much loved pets lately. It is so very sad and I'm thinking of you Janey. There have been some lovely messages of condolence posted....there's nothing more I can add....except I'm so very sorry xxxxx

Janey, I am also relatively new to Goy, but just wanted to say how much I understand your dreadful loss, and my heart goes out to you all. In the 30 years I have been taking on rescue dogs, I have had to bear this loss 7 times, and each time is as hard as the first. They say dogs leave footprints in your heart, and they truly do. Blessings and peace go out to you my friend, I write this with tears in my eyes, and my thoughts to you and all other Goys who have gone through this heartbreaking and difficult time. Rainbow Ridge says it all. We never really lose our pets, they remain with us, just out of sight that's all.xxx

Janey, I've only just seen this. Finn was such a lovely boy, I'm so sorry x

Thank you Bornagain.........we miss him like mad, but we have our wonderful memories now to look back on....XX

Janey I'm so sorry to read about Finn - he'll be with you when you potter about in the garden, taking comfort that he is in the sunniest spot - they say over here that the sun shines on the beautiful and your Finn was just that.

Thank you Terry for your kind words, we are missing him very much.....X

Still keeping you in my thoughts Janey.......

Aw thanks Flori.........enjoy your weekend...:o) X

This is very sad. X

He was such a lovely boy Linda, and we have just come home from visiting our old Spanish place and the hills Finn loved so much. It was our first visit back after 6 years and everything looked great especially the trees we planted which are huge now.....:))

Do you wish you were still there Janey? Did you take any pics?:-)

Hi Ba, yes in a way we do.....for the climate, and wildness, but as you know Spain is deeply in the resession and there is no work to be had in that area. When we are both retired though, we may decide to go back. I'm going to do a blog later with some pics of the area, the rock on the Costa Dorada is definitely gold!

I look forward to that. My husband loves Spain and the Spanish, he lived there for 6 months as part of his Uni course (he taught Spanish in a Midlands school) and we did think about buying there before he was ill. I'll show him your blog:-)
