My beautiful Jazz is gone

I am so sorry! I truly will miss seeing the pictures and reading about Jazz living her life so incredibly richly! I could just tell she was every day living life to it's fullest. May she rest as well as she lived.
What an amazing life ~

I'm so sorry to read about Jazz 
What an awful experience it is to lose them. But the pictures are beautiful and they are a testament to what an amazing life of adventure she got to have with you.
The puppy pictures are just so adorable and amazing to see how small they started out. Did you also feel that looking back at those pics, that you can see her personality was already there? That's how it was for me.
That second last picture of her on the beach looking back at you. That picture hit me right in the heart. That's the picture where I could feel that she was gone...walking away
It will be hard for a long while, but look at this loss as being one more chapter in the book of your life

Sorry I'm late replying. It was the sad day yesterday where I did the long drive home with Jazzies body so she could be buried at home. Now I'm feeling the loss doubly because all her toys and beds etc are still where we left them.I'm so sorry to read about Jazz

She was always the same personality from her first breath. Brave little sassy puppy, but not a mean bone in her.
I always said I would adopt my next Dobe and still intend to but not straight away. My next doesn't need Jazzies shadow over him/her. I know my heart will mend but it's ripped up right now.
I just saw this news for the first time today. The news has hit me hard. Can't believe it.
Sassy. Fearless. I believe it. I believe dogs are incredibly tough creatures. They just live life, and with no regrets.
I admire the life you lived with Jazz. Life at its best.

I just saw this post. So very sorry for your loss. You have some great memories and photos. Jazz had a great life.
This is a very hard step to overcome. I still have issues with getting a new male pup because I know I fear the comparisons I will make with Ragnar. I am fortunate to have Freyja to fill the hole.
Advice that I have yet to take but believe is true….you just have to do it and when you do, it will all be all right.
If not for Freyja, I definitely believe I would have gotten another. Dobermans are like no other.
Of course it is when they were our life and you have to go through it one day at a time to process everything. I totally understand how hard it is and how much it hits us in the gut.
I'm with you there. Riley sort of fell in our lap and I wish we would have had more time. Rumor was a special dog for me in so many ways. Her loss was devastating. I'm not convinced my heart was ready to bring a pup into my life. Under the circumstances we had to act fast or Riley was going to a shelter. Yes he would have been adopted quickly because he was a puppy but would it have the right home? Doubtful. Riley is a handful and not the cute cuddly puppy he looks like. I think he would have been returned several times and struggled to find the right home if he ever did.
Do I love him? Yes! Would it have been better for all of us if I had more time to grieve? ABSOLUTELY!
You know best when you are ready. Take your time, grieve, heal and then be ready for the next adventure.
I guess you could say I have adopted 2 dogs so far in my lifetime.
Both at right about 2 yrs of age.
The first was a Great Pyrnese (mostly) mix and a nightmare. Dog came with every single type of worm and parasite known to doggie kind + a wide spectrum of mental / behavioral problems that I spent a good few years trying to help her overcome before finally tossing in the towel. There was a long, long list of very valid reasons her owner wanted that dog GONE and I was dumb enough to take her in. If I could go back in time I would have ran away from that dog and her owner and never looked back.
I would not wish that dog and its problems on my worst enemy is how bad it was...
Agatha (my new Dober girl) came from a home where there was one other female Doberman there that she simply could not get along with and she was getting tore up every time she would start crap with her. Agatha is lucky she did not get hurt a LOT worse than she did...
She has been nothing short of an absolute blessing here in my home so far. Zero issues with her health OR her getting along with my older girl and zero issues with her in my home as far as house behavior stuff is concerned. Previous owner lady obviously did a lot of training with her and about all I have to do is polish the rough edges...
I am absolutely NOT missing any of the puppy garbage!
I would not worry about the other dogs shadow and go ahead and start your search knowing that NO dog will ever replace the one you lost or ever be exactly the same. Doesn't work that way as every dog is going to have their own individual personality and their own strengths and weaknesses.
I was seriously considering getting another Doberman puppy (or two) after I lost Patience but lucked up and found Agatha and decided to take a chance on her instead of the puppy thing.
Was VERY hesitant because of the previous 'rescue' experience I had but...
Did I mention what a blessing this girl has been?
I doubt I will ever have another Doberman that comes close to being like Patience was - That girl was special in a bunch of different ways.
I will never forget Patience and for sure will never find another dog just like her but it most definitely helped me get over my loss having Agatha here now. Pretty sure adding her to the family helped Dystopia as well.
As much as I love Dystopia there is some stuff that I is not willing to do for her that Agatha WILL gladly do.
Tongue down the ear hole being one of those things -
My experience of losing Thor really was devastating. I planned on a year before a puppy would come in my house and lay in his spot on the couch. But the universe's puppy distribution program had other plans in place. You don't need to hurry. Give Jazz and her beautiful soul plenty of space in yourself. She will find and connect you with the right other dog at the right time for you, and you just need to be open to that idea when she does. I guess the thought I am trying to share is that there isn't (in my experience) a time frame we can set that is a correct one. The right one will find you in its own time. Take your time with Jazz but look around for the one she will try to send to you.Sorry I'm late replying.

Aw man, not gonna lie this hit me in the heart and I’ve shed a few tears for you and Jazz. I lost my Odyssey a couple years ago, after losing my dad it was the worst day of my life. I had her cremated and I still haven’t been able to bring myself to open the bag or read the card the vets left for me. I am so very sorry and I am more than well aware of the pain and grief the loss has on you. I am so thankful for every day I get with my two boys. Another dog will take place in your heart, do it on your own time of course but me personally I cannot imagine not having a dog in the house.
