So sorry to hear this Drew. You and your family will be in my thoughts. Take care.
Oh no… I'm so terribly sorry for your whole family. Please take care.
Oh no! I'm so sorry, Drew.
Drew,
I am so sorry to hear about Woodie's passing. Take care of yourself and your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you and yours.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. We all love and cherish our Little Ones but they just do not live long enough
So sorry Drew. I lost my companion of 16 years 2 years ago and still miss her.
Drew,
May Woodie rest in peace, and may there be comfort for all of you. I am so sorry.
Peace,
Anne Lane
My heart goes out to you. Animals make a special place in our homes and our hearts and leave all too quickly. You gave him a beautiful life!

So sorry about your beloved Woodie. Take that beautiful picture of him, go to Kodakgallery.com or one of the picture sites, and make a 16×20 print to hang on your wall. We did that for our beloved Boomer, and it really helps to see him every day.
So sorry about your loss. My heart goes to you and your family. May the good memories transport his spirit through your heart.
How sad the timing with your most popular post on dog food! I am deeply saddened for you and your family. Be strong for your girls. And be positive in life's lessons for them, too.
Condoglianze e preghiere per Woody che hai perso. Tanti pensieri per te e la tua famiglia. Paradiso ha un posto speciale solo per nostri amici animali che sono stati vicino noi. Bevi una bella goccia di Whiskey da salutare sua vita e fai uno bello sorriso per sua memoria. Vi pensierò sta sera.
Condolances and Prayers for your loss of Woody. Many thoughts for you and your family. Heaven has a special place for our animal friends who have stayed close to us. Drink a shot of Whiskey to salute his life and smile big for his memory. I'll have you all in my thoughts this evening.

I'm really sorry, Drew. There's no words that will help console you right now. Just know that you have a lot of friends on this site who care, and we're all sending you love and sympathy in your grief for your precious Woody.
Please accept my condolences. Linda
I'm so very, very sorry. My heart goes out to you and your family. Today is my Golden Retriever's 9th birthday, and I'm cooking your dog food recipe as a special treat. We will be thinking of Woodie's sweet face and hoping that our Auggie will also have just as long and happy life.
Oh, that hurts. Our furkids are such a special part of our lives. I sometimes think they give us more than we can ever give them. Virtual hugs for you and your family, Drew.
My heart and prayers for your family and yourself. Despite the many years worked in the veterinary field, I've still never learned to deal well with losing a furry loved one. A good thing in my book. Take all the time you need.
I'm so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I'm so, so sorry. When we lost our Dude several years ago that rainbow bridge poem & a clean dishtowel for sobbing helped a little. Happy thoughts and prayers for all of you.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Woodie looks like a real winner. We put our 14 year old down this summer & know the void that is left behind. Remember the great times you had. Our hearts go out to you.
I am terribly sorry to hear about your loss. It does warm my heart to know that you and your family obviously loved and treated this creature so kindly – the happiness shows in his "smile". Unfortunately not all animals are treated with the same regard, so I hope knowing how much you enriched this creature's life will give you some solace during this difficult time. Woodie will always be with you.
I'm so sorry you and your family are having to deal with this kind of grief right at the beginning of the holiday season. I pray the fond memories you will share of your beloved Woodie sustain you all during this sad time.

OH! I'm so sorry! ((cyber hugs))
RIP handsome Woodie.
its never easy to lose a family member. Our thoughts are with you.
Sweet Woodie, what lovely eyes he had. I'm so sorry he's gone.
I am so sorry for your loss. Take care of yourself and your family. We will be here for you when you come back.
I'm sorry to hear of your loss, Drew. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
So sorry to hear about Woodie,he was beautiful. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts and prayers.
Drew, I am sorry for your loss. Hurts so much to lose our furkids. I'll be praying for comfort for you and your family.
((hugs))
So sorry for your and your family's loss.
I only found this site last week and I was so surprised to see a recipe for dog food and a picture of the handsome Woodie, who could have been the brother of one of my beloved childhood dogs, Brownie.
I'm so very sorry for your loss. Pets add so much enjoyment to our lives, but it is so hard when we lose them. Woodie was a beautiful boy and he was a lucky dog to have such a good family.
I'm sorry…….
I am so sorry.
I'm so sorry, Drew. We all know pets are only here for a little while, but that doesn't make their passing any easier.
Woodie is happy where he is. One day you will see him again.
Until then he will be missed!

Oh damn. Hate this more than I can say. I hope your kids (and you) are okay . . .
RAINBOW BRIDGE By the edge of a woods, at the foot of a hill,
Is a lush, green meadow where time stands still.
Where the friends of man and woman do run,
When their time on earth is over and done.
For here, between this world and the next,
Is a place where each beloved creature finds rest.
On this golden land, they wait and they play,
Till the Rainbow Bridge they cross over one day.
No more do they suffer, in pain or in sadness,
For here they are whole, their lives filled with gladness.
Their limbs are restored, their health renewed,
Their bodies have healed, with strength imbued.
They romp through the grass, without even a care,
Until one day they start, and sniff at the air.
All ears prick forward, eyes dart front and back,
Then all of a sudden, one breaks from the pack.
For just at that instant, their eyes have met;
Together again, both person and pet.
So they run to each other, these friends from long past,
The time of their parting is over at last.
The sadness they felt while they were apart,
Has turned into joy once more in each heart.
They embrace with a love that will last forever,
And then, side-by-side, they cross over… together.
Oh Drew. Losing a beloved pet is so hard…my heart goes out to you and your family. Take solace in the fact that he had a long, wonderful life with you and that he can now rest peacefully. Do something with your girls to commemorate him.
His memory will forever stay with you and your family (I still have fond memories of my first dog, Monte, who passed when I was only nine). Though the hole that his passing has left in each of your hearts will never be filled, I know that someday, when you are ready, you guys will find another pooch that will bring you a whole new kind of joy and love.
Be well and take all the time you need. My thoughts are with you and your family. ((hugs))
I'm so sorry for your loss… Losing a friend is never an easy thing.
Keep the good memories close to your heart, and the love he shared with your family.
All my thoughts goes to you and your family, Drew.
They always leave too soon. So sorry for you…
My sincere condolences for you and your family's loss, Drew. I understand how you feel right now. Here's a toast to Woodie, and to the happy memories you built together.
(big hug to you and your family)
just a big hug. a really big one.
We are very sorry about Woodie. Sending you purrs and soft woofs.
You and your family have my deepest condolences. When I saw his beautiful picture the other day, I was surprised to see how much he looks like my Mother's dog, Charlie. He will forever be in your heart.
Good strength to you and your family during this time of loss. It's at these times that you really realize the truth to "Dogs are a man's best friend." My he forever be in your hearts!
I'm so sorry. Prayers and hugs. What breed of dog is he?
He's probably Chow and Golden Retriever.
And by the way, thanks to everyone for the support. We really appreciate it.
Having been in the same position too many times with older pets I can only say my heart goes out to you at this time of sorrow.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
God bless you and Woody….at least he had that great dog food you made him the other day!
"I have sometimes thought of the final cause of dogs having such short lives and I am quite satisfied it is in compassion to the human race; for if we suffer so much in losing a dog after an acquaintance of ten or twelve years, what would it be if they were to live double that time?"
- Sir Walter Scott
So sorry for your loss.
I have no words.
I'm so sorry, Drew.
I am so sorry for your loss. We've lost so many pets and every one is such a heartbreak. Please know that we are thinking of you and your family.

I know how you must feel.
Take care of yourself and your family.

How very very sad and painful for you and your family … I send my deepest condolences on the loss of your loved family member, Woodie.
so very sorry, they leave such an empty spot.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
I'm so sorry, Drew.
Sorry to hear about your loss Drew. Animals have a special place in my heart, and surely in yours too. They are truly family. Thinking of you during this difficult time.
So sorry for you and your family. We just rescued an SPCA dog on Sunday. Woody was lucky to have you.
So sorry… just catching up on my blogs after the holiday.
Oh, no! I just saw this post, Drew! You have my sincerest sympathy. I'll be thinking about you. Take care, friend.
PS, my mom's dog, China, is a chow/golden mix. What a sweetheart she is.
