Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Slimcake: Man I feel your pain. Put my bestest bud down 5 years ago and my current dag is 12. Starting to loose rear leg control. I am crying thinking about it.... Why can;t dogs live as long as people do???????/ They are the best and all I can say is find a new dag on the quick to fill the void. I thought my first dag was un replaceable and my second is doing a better job of becoming unreplaceable. Prayers for you OP. I hope I have a few years before being in that situation again..... May peace be with you. Thanks, I almost lost her in 2016 and swore every day she made it past ten was a miracle. She never had to share my attention and I hope a new brat will light a fire under my ass because retirement sucks alone. |

Very sorry OP. She looks just like our dog Gracie who passed away (from lymphoma, aged 12 years) on July 27, 2015. |

I'm definitely a better person because of her and she kept me going when I lost everything. |

I know that feel OP. We had to put my Madi down just a week ago, after nearly 13 years.
 I still havent gotten over it yet. Sometimes when Im out Ill for a brief second look forward to her greeting me at the door when I get home. Or have a big glob of food to give her instead of the trash as was our custom. She was such a good girl, and I thank God for giving her to me and teaching me about love and patience. Rough. |

 Attached FileIt’s been about six weeks since I said goodbye to Rey. Still hurts like Hell but I’m I certainly better off now than I was a month ago. Talking and venting with the folks here probably helped more than going to therapy. Probably because so many here have felt the same pain. |

Dogs know nothing but unconditional love. They truly mean so much to us during their short life with us.
I'm sorry man. I know there isn't anything anyone can say to truly ease the pain. Some angles don't have wings, they have paws. |

First morning alone and I couldn't snooze without her disapproval. I managed a couple of hours of sleep but without a set of unconditional priorities to wake up to is unnerving. It just occurred to me that today's my 9th retirement anniversary as well
