Sorry to hear of your loss.

 

[Mr. Habib]

My deepest condolences. I've lost jobs, marriages, and grandparents. I've tried to console my daughter after our first granddaughter was still born and I was standing at my father's bed side as he drew his final breath. Carrying Chester out to the car for his final ride is by far the most difficult and painful thing that I have ever done.

Sorry for your loss.

I used to have Springer named Bull. Weighed around 70 pounds in his prime. He was a beast. I have had Labs since, but that Springer was still the best retriever I've had.

Our pets have a way of becoming a special part of our families. When they are gone it takes a part of our hearts with them, but we are usually better for having the time we did with them. Pets are great companions. Sorry for your family's loss.

Reading this brings back so many memories.
Honey was my hardest, she had cancer in her neck lymph nodes. We chose to just treat with prednisone because of her age, she was almost 14. The vet said we would know when it was time, and we did. I remember laying on the floor at the vet with her. They told me take as much time as I needed. I think we layed there for a half hour, tears rolling down my face, just holding her. Her ashes are on top of the gun safe now, along with her partner, Winston. He had passed 6 mths before her at 15.

My deepest condolences. It really is a hard pill to swallow.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. We just put our oldest Sheltie down last Friday. The rest of the pack is a bit confused because she was the Alpha.

So very sorry for your loss. Dogs are truly one of God’s greatest gifts to humans.

Sucks every time, but all the hurt is worth it.

TM, sorry to hear of your buddy's passing. It is so difficult when you have shared years of friendship. Their devotion is so unconditional.

About 1-1/2 years ago we had to let our "Bubba" go after 14 years. Very difficult. But we found "Rowdy", springer mix, at the local shelter. Such a smart, energetic guy who acts like a fun loving 5 year old kid. He is going to keep this sexagenarian young.

That truly sucks. I've lost a few furry friends myself.

My condolences for your loss.

Our pets take up a big space in our hearts and when they leave us, they leave a big hole. I think God gave us pets for a number of reasons. Companionship is one. Another is to remind us that those we love will only be around for a short amount of time and we never know when that time will be up. Even our own time. What can we learn from learn from this?

TM, my thoughts and prayers are with you. Thanks for sharing a glimpse into your dog's daily life with your story about feeding the horses.
