Dog gone. Saying goodbye to our families best friend

[Melvin]

We had to put our 14 y/o hound down last Tuesday.

Dred, that was a great write-up. You nailed the emotions felt right on the head. (My wife couldn't finish reading, as she started to cry.) We still look at her empty chair expecting to see her sitting there, and I can still hear her collar rattling.

Saucie

I know how you feel Dred...I had to put down my first dog "Buck" (see avatar) 6 yr's ago after I found out he had cancer, he was almost 11 yr's. I still get tears in my eyes when I read posts like this. Then 2 yr's ago my  4 y/o golden was hit by a car and died of internal bleeding at the hospital an hr later. I've always gotten a new dog soon after the loss and this has helped me the most. Now I have a  4 and 2 y/o goldens to brighten my day.

Photo of her out on the pontoon boat a few years ago. This is how I like to remember her. The lake was her favorite place.

Wow Dred, my condolences man. Tough thing to go through.

We lost Skrappy, our first "kid," last May - after 14 years and 1 week of him being in our family. It's never easy. Ya have to take comfort in the fact that you gave him an awesome home and a great life, better than a lot of doggies that weren't so lucky.
