Very sorry to hear about your loss, that story brought tears to my eyes and I'm not ashamed to admit it either.

Sorry, Steyr.

We have two dogs, one of whom is an older dog (we think about 11) who we rescued from a shelter. He's the sweetest dog I've ever met, and it tears me up to think that he probably doesn't have a lot of years left in him.

+ 100 for rescue a dog.

That sucks , I'm sorry man!

. Maybe this will help. You gave him a lot of very happy years and gave him love and compasion that he would not have normally had with someone else. You did a great job taking care of him and loving him. He was a happy dog! Nobody can ask more of you! I hope this helps some.

take care. Coondog

Sorry to hear of your loss.... I had to put down my always faithful friend ( Nashoba ) a little over a year ago. He was a Malamute/Wolf hybrid. He was old and could hardly get up, many times he would yelp when just trying to get up. I held him ( 110 lbs. ) while the vet injected. I felt his muscles slowly relax and his breathing stop. I asked the vet if there was anything else I needed to do and he said he would handle the rest. I was alright till just after that. I took three steps down the hall and began to cry like a 3 year old....

I had lost a friend of many years about two weeks earlier, who had many a bout with the bottle and ended up losing the fight.... we had grown distant over the previous year because of his drinking and the way he treated his wife and kids. I didnt shed a tear over him, he brought it on his self and did nothing to try and stop the inevitable, but I couldnt even hold it together enough to make it to my truck when it came to my dog....

I miss them both today.... RIP

"If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you. That's the principle difference between a man and a dog."

Is there any wonder why we love our dogs so much.

Sorry for your loss SteyrAUG, BTDT.

Sorry man that is tough stuff. I truly believe that there are more dogs worthy of crying over than men.

Sorry.I have been there, a good dog will make you cry.

Dang dude I cried just reading that post.

Dog's become part of the family if you're in my family and it sounds like it in your family too.

He's in a much better place running free in miles and miles of grassland with huge shade trees, crystal clear babbling brooks and plenty of game to chase.

They bring us so much happiness and comfort, and so so much sadness when the Lord wants them back.

As you can see by the posts above,we are all here for you. Take your time to grieve and then let the sadness go and remember the good times.

I'm sorry for your loss. I dread when that day comes for me. :(

Just for you ...

T here is one best place to bury a dog.
" If you bury him in this spot, he will
come to you when you call -
come to you over the grim, dim frontier
of death, and down the well-remembered
path, and to your side again.

" And though you call a dozen living
dogs to heel, they shall not growl at
him, nor resent his coming,
for he belongs there.

" People may scoff at you, who see
no lightest blade of grass bent by his
footfall, who hear no whimper, people
who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know
something that is hidden from them,
and which is well worth the knowing.

" The one best place to bury a good
dog is in the heart of his master."

Sorry to hear about your loss. Losing an animal is always very difficult. You were brave to sit with him while the vet ended his suffering. Very sad story.

Damn I hate these threads. Gets me tearing faster tha a a petriotic remember the Vets thread. Can't see to type and I skipped the middle pages. Hope nobody posed the Rainbow Bridge.

My first dog , lived to be 18 years old, it left us while I was away on active duty.

Lost a basset to sudden illness. One of my current girls is starting to run down. Dogs are better than kids, at least whe they get old the try to do what you ask, kids just become teenagers.

Our sincere condolences on your loss.

The M-Forgery Family

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.

There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm sorry to here of the loss of your friend. That was one of the saddest posts that I've ever read because I know just how you feel. I'm glad that you made the decision to end his suffering in a timely manner, it's a very, VERY hard thing to do but you did the right thing. My condolences.

SteyrAUG,

Sorry for your loss. It is never easy to let a friend go, but you did well in saying "till we meet again" to your buddy. He left here knowing you loved him a bunch........ can't ask for more than that.

Posted: 9/8/2004 5:54:33 PM EDT

[#32]

I'm sorry for your loss.
Your best buddy had a great home.

I lost my "pet of a lifetime" 4 years ago - I'll never get over it.

My eyes are leaking. I only read Steyr's opening post.

Posted: 9/8/2004 5:59:56 PM EDT

[#33]

... Damn sad news SteyrAUG, I've cried harder over my doggie dying than I have some relatives of mine when they passed.

Posted: 9/8/2004 6:10:12 PM EDT

hard

Posted: 9/8/2004 6:15:25 PM EDT

[#35]

I haven't cried this much in a long time.

I swear to God if I had a yard I would adopt a new dog about once a month. I love almost all dogs, can't stand most people.

I am really sorry for you Steyr.

Sorry for your loss. I've had to do the same twice. The only advice I have to give is to dig the hole first. It's easier without the tears.

Know how you feel.

4 weeks ago I lost my Beagle, Jasmine (Jazzy) after 11 years of loyalty & love.

I took it pretty hard for a couple days.

Rest in Peace.

Steyr I'm so sorry, I've had to do that a few times with my dogs and it makes your heartache. Dog's are Gods gift to let us know what unconditional LOVE really means.

I feel bad about you loseing your pet, I have lost them before, I have a Boston Terrier I have had since he was a puppy. He is like my second son and I don't no how I would feel if something happened to him. I can tell he is getting older and I am just waiting to see how long he is going to be around, all I can do is just keep makeing him happy and enjoying him and giving him a happy life.

Steyr, I cannot begin to tell you how sorry I am for your loss. As Mark Twain said, "The dog is a gentleman; I hope to go to his heaven, not man's."
