My sympathies to you and your family. My son had to put down two dogs this week, it's a tough choice.

Trucks and dogs, they just go together. My son has a Blue Healer, great farm dog but all you have to do is say, "Truck ride" and she's there. Very hyper dogs, always on the run but she can lay for hours for a truck ride.

Sorry to hear of your loss but remember the hours she shared with you. I know the pain, I've had to put many animals down over the years. It doesn't get easier, they all hurt.

Hate to hear of the bad news. We love our dogs and they go together with our old trucks. Sorry for your loss. Get another dog , maybe from the pound and save a life. Maybe it will give you some comfort

Sorry for your loss. We put our last one down less than a year ago. Her collar rides in the truck today. She did love to ride in the old truck.

My condolences. We just marked one year since we put down our truck buddy. At least we got to bury him on the farm. He loved riding in the truck too. They are great. When my wife and I finally retire for good we'll get another one. Hang in there!

That is such a tough decision. She looks like she was a great dog.
I had to bury one of our in February, she was the sweetest dog ever. They sure grow on you.

Thanks,

Actually in retirement, I volunteer as a big dog-handler at the Humane Society 4 days a week. She was too old and deaf. Nobody would adopt her. With me, she lived like a queen these last few years.

We've fostered (and ended up keeping) several dogs. Its a good thing
