She died last week from cancer; I got her ashes back tonight.
So long, Annie-girl.
Thanks for 13 good years of quail hunting and assorted good times.


He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds;
my other ears that hear above the winds.
He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea.
He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason
for being by the way he rests against my leg;
by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile;
by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him.
(I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not
along to care for me.)
When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive.
When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile.
When I am happy, he is joy unbounded.
When I am a fool, he ignores it.
When I succeed, he brags.
Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful.
He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion.
With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace.
He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant.
His head on my knee can heal my human hurts.
His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and
unknown things.
He has promised to wait for me...whenever...wherever--
in case I need him.
And I expect I will--as I always have.


He is my dog.

I am sorry to hear. Try to think about how happy you made her life. Man it is dusty in here.

So sorry to hear this OP. I lost one to cancer 4 years ago too. I don't think I'll ever completely heal from her loss. Be strong.

thanks for all the kind words.
we've all been lucky to have those four-legged friends to help us be better people.

Sorry for your loss!
I have a 5 month old lab mix pup and I pray that he is around for a long time, funny how they can worm there way so.deeply into your.heart.

Sorry for your loss.

Coworker had to put her dog to sleep today. Never easy.

RIP Annie. May the sun be warm, the water be cool, the rabbits be slow and the grass be soft.

Very Sorry.
