Had to put my buddy down today....
he was 14 and getting pretty blind and deaf..
only had energy to eat and sleep.
he's out of pain now and in a better place....
Sorry to hear that it is hard to go through something like that. We had a 7 year old rottweiler that got a brain tumor and we held her for her last breaths after the shot.
So sorry for your loss, we too have lost several 4 legged children in the last few years, all fairly young to different ailments and it never gets easier. Please don't dwell too long on this and a new friend was the best therapy for me, probably my most favorite companion I have ever had, Eddie ray:
mate-its just as bad over here-you sort of expect them to be around forever and their old age sneaks up on ya.condolances from afar and theres a reason why they are know as "mans best friend".
It really can be hard to lose a fur kid, because they always show us unconditional love. Good day or bad, they are always there to welcome you home.
I was adopted by a Persian kitty about 5 years ago and she is the first cat I've ever had. I wouldn't give a plugged nickel for another just like her, but I wouldn't take a gazillion dollars for her, either.
How's the old joke go - lock your dog and your significant other in the trunk of your car for an hour and notice which one licks your hand when you open the trunk. :toast:
I'm with Fred, just keep your eyes and your heart open and you will end up being adopted by another friend. And TC will meet you at The Bridge, so it's a win-win.
I just said goodby to a long time friend.a sheltie i had for 16 years, she was always
waiting for us when we got home and a good watch dog.
My wife would say is there somebody outside and i would say did you hear lady barking , if not then there is nobody there.
Most of the time when you find someone
who loves animals they have a good heart for people too.
I have sworn that I won't have another pet. But that's me. I get WAY too attached to them and it's so hard to lose them.
We had many animals on our small farm when I was growing up, but 3 affected me hard; a collie/shepard mix we had for 14 years (got him when I was 2), a cat I had for 21 years (she was an amazing creature.. so smart) and a golden lab mix for only 1 and 1/2 years (he was riot).
The rough part is that animals usually run to me even when their "owners" say that the animal is anti-social. Maybe it's the smell...
