Whether you are a queen, president, the girl at the supermarket, or you live under a bridge, if you have a bond with a dog, cat or another person, when that entity passes from this life it is a huge loss! Dogs are a gift to some of us, and since Queen Elizabeth has lost 2 in such a short time, I believe it hurts her heart as much as anyone elses hurt from the loss!

Jesus of Nazareth is also MY KING! but he taught us to love AND FEEL for our fellow man! HE knows how much I miss my little Timmie. Have a heart you guys!

No matter who you are, when you lose a much-loved pet member of your family, it hurts like hell.    Sorry for the loss - I know how it feels.

Anyone who loves animals and treats them with respect is o.k. in my book.  The Queen is famous for her love of dogs and horses.  And, I am sure she feels sad over the loss of these two dogs.  I personally respect this woman, she has devoted her entire life to the people of the Great Britain, she has performed with honor, dignity and always with a great sense of duty.  Those who do not like her or the monarchy would be better off not reading a story that clearly stated in the headline the it was about the loss of the dogs.  No need to be so mean-spirited, we as humans must respect all living creatures, dogs in particular, have such a sense of loyalty to their owners.  Being owned by the Queen of England means that their life was probably pretty darned good!

So sad to lose 2 dogs on the same day.  My heart goes out to Queen Elizabeth and her family at the loss of what I know were not just "pets" but members of the family.

Losing a dog is very hard on a person. She lost 2 of them. It is newsworthy because she is a Queen of a country and because one of the dogs was on the commecial spot doing the James Bond spoof during the Olympics. Otherwise its just another sad event where someone lost a loved pet. No need to be mean about it. Its just another human interest story.
