Today was the day for my Lab,Bear, he had to be put down.

Sorry to hear of your loss. You did what a true friend does and it's not easy. May the "Shamrocks Fall Softly" for your Bear. He will be there waiting for you at the Bridge. Until then, you have him in your heart.

Losing a pet and especially a dog is losing pure unadulterated love. I think that is why it hurts so.

For those who recently went thru this you have my condolences. It was your posts that helped steel me for this day. Thanks.

For those who are at the end of time with your pet, you have my condolences and support.

You all are a great bunch. Thanks again.

Duane.

Having to take a beloved old dog to be relieved of their pain has been some of the most painful experiences of my life and I've lost many family members...As someone said, too many people live too long and most dogs don't live long enough...As Slick Willie was want to say, "I feel your pain"...Except, I'm telling the truth.

I don't know why I keep reading these threads. I've lost so many best friends over the years. I have three now, lost two on the same day in the Springtime. Dogs teach me how to love. And how to love again. My thoughts are with you, and everyone who knows the heartbreak of losing a dog. Go get another one. So many great dogs (redundant) desparately need the kind of love you will give them. And they will give it back to you ten fold.

I'm sending you a hug.

Sorry to hear your loss. I had to say goodbye to Jesse, 14 yr Beagle, very much the same way a year ago. Still turn and expect to see him... A friend shared the Rainbow Bridge poem, linked here https://rainbowsbridge.com/poem.htm

Well, that did it for me.....

You lost a friend today. Sorry. You will never forget him. He will live on in your memories.

I can't talk right now.

I haven't......

In late February my Black Lab, Bruno had trouble breathing, after lab test's, Xrays and sonic test's I find out he had a large tumor in his chest. Was not something that could be removed with out killing him.
In constant pain breathing.
One week later I had to have him put down.
He was the best........
Only thing I can post/say is this:



Sorry for your loss.....
Something in my eyes right now, must be rain I think.....

I haven't recovered from the last one.....

I'm sorry to hear of your loss, model70hunter. Makes me think of my Hucky, and how much I loved him. I still miss him.

Sorry for your loss. Four years ago I had to put down my fourth gun/family dog. She was a yellow lab and lived to be 14. I got her when my two sons were little guys and the three of them grew up together. My boys named her Sunnydog (get the connection to my forum name?) She retrieved many wild pitches in backyard baseball games and too many ducks and geese to count. After the boys went off to college, her last day came and I burried her at the farm by our duck blind, where we had shared 14 years of hunting together. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do. The boys are grown now, and I have an new lab, named Ice. He is a ball of fire! His picture is my avatar. The boys come home in hunting season and the 4 of us still go to the duck blind together, and Sunnydog is there too.

You never forget a loyal companion.

I lost my DZ in November of 2013. Not a day goes buy that I don't miss him even with two other dogs. Today was especially bad. I saw a 14 month old that looked just like him this morning.

When we talked I realized she had another Knucklehead much like him. I cried all of the way home.

My heart goes to you and my eyes are leaking again.

Smile and remember, It's the best you can do.
