Biscotti, my beautiful, sweet Maremma, was hit by a car this morning. She died instantly.
I don’t have language for this kind of pain.
Welcome chicks!

I am so sorry.
I am so, so, so sorry. I had to put my beloved dog Sam down a few years ago and it still hurts like crazy to think about it. I found solace in remembering the good times and funny stories with Sam and spending as much time as possible around the people I love. I wish you all the best.
I am so so sorry for your loss. Biscotti was beautiful.
oh Susie! I am so, so sorry to hear that. Losing a pet is terribly painful. Know that we are all thinking of you during this difficult time. HUGS!!!
I just lost my sweet and beautiful dog Temmoku a couple of weeks ago quite suddenly. I understand how no words can express the pain. I’m so sad for you loss. The good times we shared in the 10 1/2 years we had together is both soothing and hurt me. Although, as the days go by, the hurt is lessening a bit. I wish the same for you.
Oh, I am so sad for you. Feeling your pain.
You are in our prayers.
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. Thinking of you . . .
Wishing you comfort and peace. My heart is with you.
Susan,
That is such sad news. I’d bring you a cup of tea and give you a hug if I could. Wishing you comfort…
Trinity
I am so sorry. I had to deal with the sudden loss of a beloved pet a few years ago and know how devastating it can be. Sending you hugs.
I am so very sorry for your loss!!! You are in my prayers.
I am so sorry for your awful loss, you are in my thoughts.
How heartbreaking, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Susan,
This is only the second time I have read your blog after my sister forwarded me the link. My husband and I live in Kentucky and have a flock of 25 sheep, and my best friend grazes her commercial flock on our farm. This morning I decided to look at your blog, and my heart just broke when I read you had lost a dog just this morning. We have three working Great Pyrenees and over the past eight years have lost two others, one a Maremma,to a car. You are right-there are no words, just a horrible, horrible pain. They are such amazing, majestic animals, and I can only offer you my deepest sympathy. Meaningless words, I know, but as I looked through your photos of all the gorgeous lambs and kids, I am reminded of the cycle of life that we are super-exposed to on the farm. I know that the amount of sorrow you are feeling is equal to the amount of joy Bixcotti brought you.

Oh, dear Susan. I am so sorry for your terrible loss. You’re in my thoughts today. Take care of yourself.
Excuse the typo-it should be Biscotti.
Pam
Oh Susan, I am so very sorry. I’m crying at my desk right now.
I hope comforting Biscotti’s partner will help to comfort you.
so sorry…
words can not express
much love…beaming to you and your family and flock…xoxo
I am so, so sorry.
I’m so, so sorry Susie for your loss! How heartbreaking. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Sending you comfort, hugs and peace.
How terrible. I’m so sorry. You’ll be in all our thoughts and prayers!
Susan,I am so sorry for your awful loss, you are in my thoughts.
Tears for you and your family.
I read your blog every day and I didn’t realize how attached I had become to you and your animals until I started crying. I know it’s painful to lose a pet, especially one so close to us. And as I sit trying not to cry even more, I am so so sorry. I hope everything will be alright.
Oh no! Oh, Susan, I am so sorry. Biscotti was so beautiful and so devoted to her charges. You and yours are in my thoughts today.
I’m so sorry sweetheart… my condolences and thoughts.
Oh, Susan, I am so very sorry for your loss.
I’m so sorry.
Oh, Susan. It’s so hard to lose an old friend. I can tell you from experience that you will be able to think of your sweet Biscotti with great fondness and no pain a year from now. But the road from here to there is so hard.
I’m thinking of you.
I am so very sorry.
i am so sorry to hear that. she was beautiful
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. Your dogs were so great when we visited – so attentive with the sheep and goats! I am sure that Fettucini will be lost for awhile without Biscotti, but perhaps you can find comfort in each other. You and your family will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Kathy (Trinity’s mom)
Susan – there really are no words except to say I am so, so sorry.
Joan B
I’m so sorry about that.
So sad, I’m so sorry Susie! I know the whole family (people, dogs, sheep, and goats) will miss her.
I’m so sorry to hear that. She sounded like a wonderful dog from all your posts.
Oh God, Oh God, Oh God … that’s exactly how I lost Katy, and there are no words … I am SO sorry. About the only comfort is that she didn’t have time to suffer, but … it’s not much. I know just how this feels, and I’m sending you huge hugs ….
Oh, god, Susie. I am so so sorry. I had a dog die from chocolate poisoning, so I know the shock and grief. My thoughts are with you.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Heartbreaking.
Absolutely heartbreaking.
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Oh my god, Susan. I am so, so sorry to hear this. Please know that you’re in my thoughts.
There are no good words at a time like this. Just know that you and your family are in all of our thoughts as you go through this tough time.
Carol P.
Our hearts and thoughts are with you. I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh Susan, I’m so sorry. My heart is broken for you.
Jen
I send a biiig hug from me and all of us. You can claim it in person when next we meet.
I’m so sorry. Biscotti is very lucky to have had such a wonderful home with you, doing wonderful work, and to have been so loved.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’m more attached to the animals in my life than I am most people I know. My heart goes out to you.
Beauty without vanity, strength without insolence, courage without ferocity, and all the virtues of man without his vices.
I am so sorry.
I lost a cat this way and it was one of the worst days of my life. I am so sorry.
I am so very sorry.
The words sounds so useless as I write them, but I am truely sorry for your loss.
Such a senseless loss. I am so sorry for your pain.
I lost my beloved little dog Sky this way in the beautiful springtime. It was terrible how that beautiful day and the days afterward turned so black. She will have been gone for 9 years this spring and I still remember her with love and miss her.
((((hugs))))
Susan, how awful. Your wonderful dogs were the highlight of our visit to Felix Neck for my son – he spoke of them often after that. My thoughts are with you.
Susan – I am so sorry for your great loss. Know that you and your loved ones – both two and four legged – are held in my heart and prayers. Biscotti is over the Rainbow Bridge waiting for you. She is in good company with our beloved Heidi and Duffy and many others and forever young!

Oh Susan, such sad terrible news. My heart is aching for you and your family, two and four legged. I am sending, prayers and thoughts your way.
Susan – you welcomed us all to share in the joys of the farm and now we share the sorrow. You are right – there are no words. Just tears. Our thoughts are with you and all the farm.
Such sad news. So so sorry for your loss.
Please accept my deepest sympathy on the loss of your precious Biscotti. Know you are in my thoughts.
So sorry to hear about the loss of your beautiful Biscotti. Take care of yourself. hugs.
oh dear, poor Biscotti. I am so sorry.
There are no words I can say to ease your pain. When we lost our last pet, I received a card with The Rainbow Bridge poem. http://www.rainbowsbridge.com/Poem.htm
I was not able to finish it for many months but now when I read it I can remember Michael with the pain in my heart but also with the joy he brought us. You and yours are in my prayers and I hope when you are able to read this poem it will bring you a small measure of comfort.
Oh how heartbreaking. Nothing compares to the love and devotion of a dog, and unfortunately the same can be said of the pain of loss when one passes. I send you all my wishes for comfort for you and your family of humans and other animals.
My heart has broken for you and your loss. I am so very sorry.
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry. I’ve been there and I know how much it hurts. (((hugs))))
I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you. Heather
I am so sorry (((hugs)))
Aw, crap. I am so sorry. We had the same experience a couple of years ago. (it’s 12/20/06 on my blog)
We now have Chuy (a Mexican nickname for Jesus), the Christmas dog.
Biscotti was truly loved.
Oh, Susan, I am so so sorry to hear this. My heart breaks for you.
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry.
I am so so sorry for you and your family and Fettucini, too.

Susan, I am so sorry.
I’m so sorry. I don’t know what I would do if that happened to my dog — I would certainly not have the language for it either.
Deepest condolences to you, your human family and your animal family (especially Fettucini).
I am so, so sorry.
I am so sorry. Nothing else can really be said. She was such a part of your farm endeavors and heart.
All my love to you right now. It hurts so much. I know this feeling.
Susie-
I am so sorry. I got to see Biscotti when I was in MV in July. My heart is breaking for you. If I could see you I would hug you, so consider this a cyber hug.
Bless you……..you are in my thoughts and prayers.
My condolences.
I am so, so sorry.
I am so sorry. It’s just rips your your heart apart when you can’t hold on to one you love so much. Especially one who has loved you so unconditionally.
Please know that you and your love ones are in our thoughts and prayers.
I am so sorry!!!
Oh no!! I can’t say anything well enough except, Oh, NO!!
Wish there was some way to ease the hurt. Hug everyone you can, and know that there’s a lot of love for you from all of us.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}}
I am so sorry. You and your family are in our prayers.
I am devastated for you. It’s terrible to lose a member of the family. Biscotti had such a beautiful doggy smile, and obviously had a wonderful life with you. I’m so sorry she’s gone.
I am so sorry.
So very sad. I’m sorry for your loss.
I am so sad to hear this. Please accept my condolences… You will be in my thoughts and prayers…
There is no language, only emotion, sorrow, and prayers and wishes of comfort being sent your way.
Peace and Light to you on some of your darker days.
ohhh, your heart must be broken. mine is broken for you and i’ve not even met you (yet!). xov (kisshugstitch)
I am terribly sorry for your loss. My dog Pippo died a couple of months ago and I understand how painful it is. Hugs XOXOX
I’m sorry. There are no other words…..
I’m so sorry. Time will help …
sorry. she will be a tough loss.
How horrible. Sending you our deepest sympathy.
I am so sorry. I know that is a devastating loss for you. Know that we are all thinking about you.
I am so sorry. There are no good times to lose a friend, a pet, a fellow-shepherd, but this was surely a particularly tough time. I hope everysheep’s health issues have cleared up, and that you have the love and understanding of those nearby as well as us in cyberspace.
I’m so sorry. What an awful loss for all of you. Be sure to hug all the critters you can today, and I’ll do the same.
Susan…Biscotti will always be watching over your flock. No matter what. She helped you realize your dream, and you provided her with an amazing chance to live out her’s. I am so sorry.
Oh, Susan, I am so sorry. She was a very fine dog.
I’m crying reading this…
Gutwrenching news. I’m so sorry for your loss. You’re in my thoughts.
oscar is being treated for heart worms he got before i rescued him and i got him shortly after baby bear died. i share your tears! i am so glad it was fast, if she had to go. ((((((hugs)))))
so very sorry for your family!
Oh Susan,
I am so very sorry for this to have happened. Much love to you and everyone on the farm.
Zoey
Oh dear Susan,
I am so very sorry.
Warm hugs to you and Patrick.
xoxoxo,

My heart is breaking for you. I don’t care what some people say, a dog is a family member, and losing one hurts like hell.
God bless.
So very sorry to hear of the loss of a treasured dog. Biscotti was so lucky to have been a part of yuor family.
I am so very sorry to hear this devastating news!
It’s true, there are no words when we loose a cherished member of our family.
Please know you and yours are in our thoughts, in our hearts and in our prayers.
Sometimes you just gotta cry!
Please do let us know if there is anything at all we can do! I’m sure I am not the only one who would jump in a car (train, bus, airplane) and help in any way I am able!
Susan, I am so, so sorry….
We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and sending best wishes your way.
Kathleen in VT

Sending you Big Hugs.
I’m really sorry!
I’m just heartbroken for you. I’m so sorry.
My heart weeps.
I am so sorry for your loss.
Oh, Susan. I just heard. I am devastated and can completely understand your sadness. I don’t know how to ease your pain, but I am thinking of you and Patrick and Erin and of course Fettucini. This is horrible and my heart breaks for you. Let me know if there is anything I can do.
Jess
It’s always so very sad to lose a four legged member of the family. My thoughts are with you.
Oh god, Susan, that is terrible. I can’t believe it. I’ll miss Biscotti so much. Hugs and love to you, your family, your flock and Cini. I’m so sorry.
Echos of everyone else, Susan….
I am so so sorry. I wish I could give you more than this inadequate message of sorrow and support.
Susan my heart goes out to you, please take time for yourself while you are going through this most difficult time.
So sorry to hear about Biscotti-I lost my Sophie Willow 3 yrs ago and still am really not over it-
Cant express how sorry I feel about the loss of your dog. It’s easy to say remember the good times, but hard to do at times like this.Our dog is sometimes the best part of us, I heard somewhere “make me the good person my dog thinks I am”.The lost ones are always in our hearts.
