I don’t know what to write, I don’t know what to say. Who would think this was one of the last photos of you, my Mille? My Iron Man. My friend and my faithful companion for twelve years. My heart is aching with every beat and my thoughts are only with you. All is tears and sorrow. But you went home in my arms, surrounded by your family.
You came to us May 9, 2002 and left us May 9, 2014. Isn’t that strange. I feel so very empty. Dried out. My boy is gone. Gone but yet never…gone. You will live for ever with us – a true and remarkable friend will never be forgotten. I know you are running free over ever green meadows and into an enchanted forest clad in cones for you to chase, and there will be a sea waiting for you at the end of the trees, where you will catch enchanted bubbles the whole summer.
Thank you, Mille, for being with us for twelve enchanted years. You will live for ever in our hearts and in our thoughts.
Mille – April 2014

Oh this is too sad for words. I have tears in my eyes and a lump in my throat. What a beautiful goodbye to a wonderful boy, and the photo has a wonderful expression in his eyes. Goodbye Mille Xx

Oh my God!! Whatever happened! I am so very sorry for your loss Ann Christine! I cannot begin to imagine how bereft you must be feeling. Love and hugs.
Oh, Madhu, I’m devastated even though I know the decision was right. He fell ill so suddenly, and was severely ill. Pancreatitis and diabetes, fever and he couldn’t walk the last days. We didn’t want him to suffer and be submitted to injections for ever. He was so tired of treatment in hospitals. My love had to rest, and he went home resting in my arms. Those warm brown eyes were clear and bright to the end.
Åh…..nej……:'(
Lille chokladhunden ♥
Kram från oss…tänker på er. Förstår att det känns svårt.
Härliga minnen och fina bilder gör att han på något sätt ändå kommer att vara en del av er ♥
Svårt är det, men han var så sjuk att det var rätt beslut. Han kommer alltid att leva i våra hjärtan.
Ja…ni gjorde helt rätt ♥
Fick tårar i ögat när jag läste att Mille lämnat er. Jag känner med er. Det är tufft när de inte längre finns hos en. En fyrbent familjemedlem som betyder så mycket. Styrkekram
Tack Helena. Tungt är det, men ändå en glädje att ha fått vara nära varandra i tolv år!
Oh my Ann-Christine, I am so sorry to hear of your loss of Mille. A love of your life, for sure ~ such a beautiful companion. I’m very sorry and know that you and your family are in my thoughts. What wonderful memories you have from all these years ~
Mary – he was my boy, my companion, my love. Many fine memories I have, and I have been looking through so many pictures – crying and remembering him.
I’m very sorry too dear Leya, for the loss of Mille. with the memories of him he’ll never go… My heart with you, love, nia
Nia, you warm my heart – thank you.
Så ledsamt att höra. Jag förstår att saknaden är stor.
Han lämnar ett stort tomrum.
I’m so sorry to hear of Mille’s passing. I hope he rests in peace. You must have tons of photos and memories of him, so he’s never truly gone. He sounds like he was a very good soul who lived a long and fruitful life *hugs*
Mabel, thank you for thinking of us! He will never die for us!
Such sadness Ann-Christine, and such wonder that we are able to experience such deep and loving bonds with our canine friends. I have loved getting to know Mille. That last picture was adorable/soulful/huggable. Hugs to you all.
Thank you so much, dear friend. I believe those bonds are unbreakable. And those eyes, those lovely brown eyes. They were so clear and bright until the end.
Awww….:)

No words can explain how it feels to lose a dear pet. Sorry to hear of your loss. Twelve years is a long time.
No, no words. Everyone who has known and had a pet will know. Thank you.
Oh, I feel so very sad for you this morning. Mille was such an important part of your family. Sending you hugs and loving thoughts across the ocean. Strength to you, Ann- Christine. x
Thank you, Sylvia, I do need some extra strength – and hugs are warming and comforting!
I’m so sorry for your loss. So sorry. May you be comforted in the times ahead by your memories of the great love and joy he brought into your life for many years! Wishing you peace, my friend.

Thank you, Kathryn. It warms my heart.
Ohh.. that is so sad… I feel with you!
Unfortunately our beloved animals do not live as long as we …
❤ !!!
They do not live as long, no. Only in our memories.
So very sorry Mille has gone, but thank you for sharing his love and exuberance with us through your posts, he has touched many of us from afar and we remember him with love too ❤
Such loving words – thank you so much. I’m not feeling really well right now, but know it was the right decision to let him go now.
Oh, Ann-Christine … I am so sorry. So dreadfully sorry … I know how much you loved those two; and now you have just one. I do weep for your grief, truly. But, like you, I don’t know what else to say. Life is so unfair to our animal children, taking them so soon from our loving arms.
True. Unfair. Our love for them is so strong – and we get to know each other so well. Twelve years is a very long time. We were growing old together and understood each other perfectly. But it was right to let him go now when he was suffering.
Of course. That doesn’t need to be said. It doesn’t help the great sadness …
Så fint skrivet … Och en underbart fin sista bild av Mille …
Jag hade så önskat att jag hade hunnit få träffa honom … Han och Yarri är lika på det viset att de har överlevt en massa sjukdomar …
Du gav Mille den finaste gåva man kan ge sin fyrfota vän … Att slippa plågas när det inte längre finns någon bättring …
Och ett så fint avsked för er alla … Det är stort …
Många kramar till er från mig och Yarri … // Maria
Kramar och tack, Maria. Det är en jobbig tid nu.
I’m so sad, Mille was such a lovely, sweet dog. My sweet Macken left me last April, I’m still in tears when I think of her… Take care, Leya. ❤
Oh, Amy – you know how hard it is. They are your best friends.
They are and they will stay in our hearts forever long….
I am so sorry for your loss – much love to tide you through this time…
Thank you – love
So sorry to hear of Millie’s passing. It’s been a joy seeing his photos on your blog. I feel like I knew him, too.
I’m glad you got to know him a bit too…he was very special. I have never seen a dog catching bubbles every day for one month every summer. Standing in the water all day and entertaining people on the beach. This will be a strange summer and many people wondering where he is.
Vilken fin bild av en väldigt fin och älskad vän. ❤
Ja, Lena. Det här är mycket svårt. Även om man vet att det var rätt att låta honom gå så kom det väldigt snabbt. Allt gick på en och en halv vecka. Men han fick ett fint och värdigt slut. Hans aska ska delas på sommarvattnet där han fiskat bubblor varje sommar och på oss här hemma där han ska vila med de andra två vännerna som sprungit vidare på de gröna ängarna.
Oh no, I’m so sorry and sad for you… Millie was such a beautiful dog.
He was. I have been looking through every photo of him I could find – just crying and remembering.
Sending peaceful thoughts.
I’m so grateful for them. Thank you.
What a sweet looking dog. He is beautiful. I’m so sorry for your loss. Dogs are so important in our lives, and they are each unique, irreplaceable, as are our human friends.
So true. Irreplaceable. Twelve years is a long time and we’ve had so much fun and so many troubles together. Old as he was, he understood everything I said. We have spoken many a time together…
Yes, they understand so much. The ONLY time I saw my first husband cry wasn’t when his sister died, or even when he died, but when his dog died. It was the saddest thing he ever went through. So sorry for your loss. 😦
I can understand this. Not many living beings are as close to one another, every day.
That’s so true.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Pets are so much part of ones family that it’s always hard when it’s their time to go. I’m sure you have many happy memories that you will appreciate in time.

Alison, thank you so much. You know, I can see that. He was my boy and a strong and tough one to the end. Everything went very fast and it’s difficult to understand how. It was the right decision to let him go – but so hard.
Usch vad ledsen jag blir för er skull!….vet hur de känns och man vet knappt hur man ska ta sig igenom dagarna, man går som i en dvala…styrkekramar till dig och de dina! ❤
Precis så är det. Tack, Kicki, jag har ju följt er så jag vet lite vad ni gått igenom. Det är alltid fruktansvärt även om man vet att beslutet är rätt och allt blir fint för vännen.
Words escape me. I’m very sorry for the loss of Mille.
