Oh Tess! You will be missed so badly....I have a big lump in my throat and tears in my eyes....big big hugs and Corrie licks and kisses to your mum and dad...you'll no doubt be exploring Rainbow Bridge right now and having a great time....we'll see you there some day. RIP Tess, Heather and Corrie xxxxxx
Thank you so much for letting Tess be so much of our lives. We know how much you loved her and how much you will miss her. She had a wonderful life with you and during that life you shared so much love. We feel privileged that you were able to share her with us. 'Love does not end with death. And nothing is lost. And all in the end is harvest.' God bless you both...and Tess. John and Carry...and Abbey (our black Lab), West Yorkshire.
Oh Tess and family. Thank you for letting me into your lives for the last 10 years. I feel as sad as if I had lost one of my own. You will be missed terribly
Thank you all for your sympathy, I am still in the early stages of grief, I have no idea how to get through the day. Tess and I were always the early risers, together we would have breakfast and then go our for a walk. The days would always revolve around her, the first thing my husband would say to me every morning was "Where is she?" - and now lately "how is she?" I know time and a new routine of some sort will numb the pain, but right now I cannot think how that could ever happen.
Ten years ago at this time of year I was going through the same trauma. I looked on the internet for black Labradors, and I found Tess. Through the years she has been my virtual pet, one that meant I could say "Oh Toby always did that too", and it is always so good to see any pet living and loving life so much. It will take time, but you will eventually be able to cherish the memories of the best years, in the knowledge that you gave a gorgeous shiny black bossy girl the best life any Labrador could wish for. Thank you for sharing Tess with us, she will be missed. Sandra
So sorry to hear Tess is no longer with you. We remembered how we felt when we lost Lucy and feel very sad for you. But we know Tess will never be forgotten and always loved. In our thoughts with much love, Helen, Ian & Roddy xx
Oh Elin, I'm so, so sorry to hear about Tess ... we will all miss her too! I've been following you for four years now, and have enjoyed reading about what Tess got up to. You captured what she was thinking so well! You know already that Tess is the very reason we got a black labrador and not a golden or chocolate.
We were heartbroken 15 years ago when we lost our first dog, Holly, so I know how you are feeling!
I would begin each day reading Tess' blog just to see how she was doing. She was a dear friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers. She will be missed.
I still call in to have a look at Tess. I miss her and I really do know how you feel too. I lost Toby 10 years ago and if think about the last few days I will still cry to this day. Mostly though it is now the silly things we remember, like what do you do with the final corner crust of a sandwich. The joke was that we always said that it was poisonous to humans but luckily Black Labroadors were imume. It does get better, but it takes a long time. Love to both Sandra
Such very sad news. It was through Tess’s pedigree that I found out my own black babies were related to each other so Tess has always been special to us. I hope she realised, just a little bit, how her many antics have given so much pleasure to all her followers. Thank you for sharing them with us. Our thoughts are with you. Katherine, Molly & Bess xx
We are thinking of you in your terrible loss. We also lost special pets over the years; the pain lessens but they are still missed. I'm going to post a lovely poem that we found when we lost our Nicky three years ago this month. I'M STILL HERE Friend, please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see. I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay. My body is gone but I'm always near. In everything you feel, see or hear. My spirit is free, but I'll never depart. As long as you keep me alive in your heart. I still look at Tess's blog and have copied some of my favorite pictures of her to create my own Tess Memory Book.
We are still thinking about you two over here. I am glad you are leaving this tribute to Tess up. I am still sad over her passing, so I can only imagine how you are feeling. This website is a great place for people to read about the antics of the lovable black lab named Tess. Thank you for sharing her with us.
This is heartbreaking! Tess inspired me to keep a blog about the lovely black lab we raised. (http://days-of-glory.blogspot.com - she's a guide for a blind person now) I am so deeply SORRY!
I just wanted to let you know that I'm still thinking of your family. My sweet Misty's life seemed to mirror that of Tess as we've followed you over the years and that remained true up until the end, just last week. I'm devastated but so thankful for every day I spent with my beautiful black lab.
I keep her pictures close and hope that you're also able to find some comfort in your memories of Tess. If we didn't love them so much, this wouldn't be so hard. It's worth every ache now for all the love we've had over the years.
I was so sad to find out Tess had passed away. She was so much like my dear departed Misha. I hope they are friends in a better world than this. God bless her and you and I know how much you must miss her. Every day I miss Misha, and always will. Shine in heaven, Tess.

We are so saddened to hear that you lost your beloved Tess. Thank you so much for sharing her adventures with us over the years.
Having lost a beloved pet, we know what you are going through. But she will always be with you.
Bless you,
I would begin each day reading Tess' blog just to see how she was doing. She was a dear friend. You are in our thoughts and prayers. She will be missed.
I'm so sorry for your loss! I found your blog years ago and have loved seeing Tess grow up. My heart is breaking for you.

I am saddened at the loss of a beautiful dog. No peace now for squirrels and cats in the heavens.
I still call in to have a look at Tess. I miss her and I really do know how you feel too. I lost Toby 10 years ago and if think about the last few days I will still cry to this day.

I'M STILL HERE
Friend, please don't mourn for me
I'm still here, though you don't see.
I'm right by your side each night and day and within your heart I long to stay.
My body is gone but I'm always near.
In everything you feel, see or hear.
My spirit is free, but I'll never depart.
As long as you keep me alive in your heart.

Oh God I am so sorry. I've followed Tess ever since we lost Sam (our Black Lab) in 2007. I know and feel the pain you're going through.

Birthday memories of Tess for February 12. We do miss her.
