I'm really sorry to hear the sad news scruffsmaz. Alfie couldn't have wished for more love & care than that given by you & your family. RIP Alfie a much loved dog & family member who fought his various illnesses so bravely Now at Rainbow Bridge with his old pals canine & feline. No longer suffering in any way & will be watching over you & thanking you for everything you did for him.

So sorry to hear this sad news scruffsmaz. You couldn't have loved and cared for Alfie more than you did. He's at peace and his illnesses (which he bravely fought) are over. He knew that you did everything you could for him. RIP Alfie

Thank you everyone for all the messages.
It's been really hard losing my boy, my life lived around him because of all his needs but I would do it all over again just to see him one more time. The vets found it hard too because they got to know him really well.
We knew the time was coming but it didn't make it any easier, it's tore me apart because of the bond I had with him, I couldn't of asked for such a lovely laid back, affectionate, loving,caring boy, he went through too much in his life but he would never give up and I would never give up on him, but his legs gave up on him.
He has left a massive hole in my heart, my house is too quiet and I hate it the 2 cats I have just don't do it. I can't get past it how much I miss him.

I have been wondering how you are coping scruffsmaz. Like you said, even though you knew it was coming it didn't make it any easier. Of course you miss him so much, the care was 24/7. I hope in time you will find it in your heart to love another dog as you had so much love in you for Alfie, as he had for you too. I expect the cats miss him too.

Yes 1 of them keeps sleeping on alfs bed all day the other one seems to be ok. I'm looking into adoption of another German shepherd just to replace the quietness I hate being at home knowing alf won't be there, I've had dogs for 27 years and alf is the one that has hurt me most and i think it's because of the bond I had with him and all the surgeries and problems he had. I wish I could see him just for 5 minutes to give him a hug, I've not been able to sort out a lot of his things out, it's too hard, just taking all his meds to the vets was bad enough. Life was so cruel to him, he should of never had to go through life with all the cancer and all the other problems he had.

That's great that you are looking at adopting another German Shepherd. Don't feel guilty that it is so soon after losing Alfie: I know Alfie would understand. My first dog was a German Shepherd and her hips went when she was 10. They are lovely dogs. I know what you mean about the quietness - we had that with an 8 month old cat that got killed on the road and we kept going out because it was too quiet without him and we decided that we had to have another cat (or 2) as soon as possible and that's when I got my Bramble (feral kitten) and we had the pick of the litter for our Maine Coon Kiba-Khan at the same time. It took us 2 weeks to find any kittens and it was 2 weeks too long.
I wish you luck in adopting, let us know what happens. We all have a special 'once in a lifetime' special pet and Alfie was yours and he'll never be forgotten.

With the way still feel, I feel im never going to get over losing alf, it's tearing me apart not having him, I'm having so many 'bad days'. Yes I will keep you all updated on the adoption but this German shepherd is in Spain so I'm not sure how we are going to go about it.
