Today my best friend took her final trip to the vet hospital and had be put to sleep. Her name was Baby Dog but I called her Dog for short. She was 15 years old and she brought more joy and happiness to our home than she could ever possibly know.

She always greet me at the door first. She seemed to be the happiest to see my at night and the saddest to see me leave in the morning. She was a mutt but smart and sensitive.

Fortunately we have a little dog too, she's a Yorky-Poo and her name is Lady Bug. She'll keep me busy enough to cope with the loss of my buddy.

 

I'm so sorry to hear that Tim. It is always very hard to loose a friend like that.

She will be waiting for you on the Rainbow Bridge though.

 

Sorry to hear, Tim. We know from the beginning that we're in for some grief down the road when we take in a critter, but it's so worth it for what we get back from them. 15 years is a damned good run. Doesn't make it any easier though, I'm sure.

 

From one dawg owner/lover to the next, I am sorry, Brother. Most don't understand but some do. My thoughts are with you...

 

Tim , I am so sorry she had to go this way .. I tears your heart out for sure ..

 

What Steve said ...For sure ...

 

Tim, I'm truly sorry to read this.

As I get older, I find that I enjoy the company of dogs, more than that of humans.

You know that this beloved friend is no longer in pain, nor is she suffering. You and she will meet again, one day.

 

Sad day indeed. She will be there waiting.

 

one of the saddest days in life is loosing a friend like that.

 

Unconditional love is what they offer and would forever if they could ....

Been there and swore I wouldn't get another, but our 'Mutt' showed up on the door in a snow storm in DFW.... so it was meant to be !

 

A friend of mine turned me onto to this when my silky terrier passed. I was destroyed and put all the emotions into my yorkie-poo He was my therapist and friend throught it all. Sadly he was grieving also. we helped each other through it and yours will too. Do a google on The Rainbow Bridge Poem. It will put you in tears and give you a sense of hope all at the same time. Hope you and your family will make it through this difficult time. So sorry for your loss.

 

Thanks everyone. First night in the house without her and not having to help her go out and get her back in is kind of a relief but sad too.

I've had some time today to reflect and remember and we had a lot of great times. She was a rescue dog. We got her when she was about 9 months old. Her original owner didn't want her anymore and he was mean as hell to her. It took some time before she would trust men, especially me as a I have a deep / loud voice anyway.

Anyway, thank you all for your thoughts. This will pass and our time will be taken up by my little doggy.

 

Sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. I think it was George Carlin that said "Life is really just a series of good dogs". I can't imagine life without them.

 

I went through the same thing last July with my nine year old Lab, Rusty. He was my best friend as well as a pet. He died of cancer in my arms waiting for the vet to come to the house to put him down. Try to reflect on all the great times and concentrate on the positive: You gave a dog a great life he would not have had otherwise. I'll be thinking of you - God Bless.

 

RIP Old Moe. I miss you everyday. I found one of your old tennis ***** while cutting grass. I will put it up and bring it with me when I come see you.
