lost my little buddy today

[rare69]

it doesn't suprise me at all, how many post there are for you losing your dog.a good one can be your best friend for life and impossible to duplicate.i had a half black lab half Newfoundland mix that was my best friend and hunting and fishing partner for fifteen years, and cried like a little baby holding him in the front yard for hours when i had to put him down. still cant to this day get another dog. but will never forget the one i lost. sorry about your loss, keep your head up and save a pound puppy. in my oppinion you cant beat a mutt!

Heck Rene you got me teared up too.    Sorry 'bout Bo man.

The cats we have don't quite cut it like the dog I had growing up.

You guys are making me  again. I had to put my sweet black cat Haunted down several weeks ago. She had cancer & it just was eating her up. I miss her especially when it is dinner time & time to go to bed. She was a funny & silly girl. I can still hear her chasing her tail in the hall. I got to stop reading these posts. I do have other critters in my family, but she was very special. She was too young to go so soon.

sorry to hear that Ghoul , i had to have my cat put to sleep because she had a tumor , she was 17 years old and was borne in my house.she would sit and watch and or sleep for hours on the fender, while i worked on my charger. also generally created havoc in the garage looking in & trying to get in to  parts boxes etc, as only cat owners could appreciate

My condolences to you and your wife.  I can only imagine how you feel as my wife and I have two cats, on we got only 6 weeks old.  He is now just over a year old and you can just feel how much more attached you get to them as the time goes on.  Yes, even though they are an animal, they still become part of the family.  The pain will pass over time and the thoughts of a new pup will hopefully help make the transition an easier one.

I feel for you. I lost my dog back in January and it's still VERY hard, especially reading about others who have lost theirs too.
There really is not much that anyone can say that makes it better. I just try to think of the times that we had and I'm thankful for those times.
My belief is that I will see her again someday and I look forward to that time.

We have another puppy now, she was 5 months old yesterday and she is great but she is not Shadow.
I find it's easiet to get back in the saddle so to speak and get another buddy. They cannot replace but can suppliment.

Sorry for your losses guys.... Its funny how attached to the family animals get....Like you said they're like having a kid.... My dog joy is 13 years old right now and my mom thinks about whats gonna happen when she dies (my mom and joy are the only two women in a house with 5 guys ) Shes still in good health for a 13 year old dog though. Still got some spunk. But shes got cataracts now and her back leg bucks her if its cold out side(had surgery on it  a  year or so ago)

Luckly shes still probley got a couple years left in her though.. Tough old dog still will go at it with just about any animal she sees

Sorry about your loss! And I wish you good luck in finding a new pup.

Man, this thread really got to me because my little cocker "Mandy" is 14yrs. 6 mos. old and has a health problem. She won't be around much longer, and I just can't imagine everyday life without my little buddy!

They sure do become one of the family!
