Sorry to hear it's always hard to loose a member of the family.
If we can't help each other what is the point of being here?

My condolences.  I lost a dog last Sept., I know how rough it is.  The house felt so empty, after a month I had to go get another.  She's not a replacement, but I found she helped me with the mourning, and really helped my girlfriend get over the loss. 

Dogs truly are a man's best friend.

Thanks for sharing the wonderful picture.  Not sure which critter in the picture looks more content!

I'm reminded to spend more one on one time with my Scully since the pea sized tumor under her neck grew to the size of a hens egg in the last two months.  She's about 15, deaf as a post, and beginning to lose strength in her legs, too. 

Someone once told me that the reason dogs don't last as long as we do is pretty simple.  Humans and dogs have the same amount of love to give before they die, dogs just spend it more freely.

Sorry for your loss Parnell.  We lost out shepherd/akita last winter. She was 15. We live with an almost 23 year old cat now plus Lucy Brown our choc lab. The good memories will get you through.  ;)

Parnell...I know what you are going through...in 2 years....I buried 3 of Our Basenji's...it's like God put a Timer in all of them...Two lived to be 14 and change...Paige my Sweetie...She made it to 15... Hurts deeply...but We started all over again...and have three more little Devils to tend to now!
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up ways to kill one another.Why do you think we invented politics and religion.

Deepest condolences man :(

We moved to our current home just over three years ago.  My sister, being a vet's assistant, gave my wife a bit of a hard time about our 3 year old golden retriever not being neutered so my wife found the nearest vet and booked her in.

Long story short - he "guessed" at her weight to guage the amount of anaesthetic to administer and apparently suffered heart failure when he tried to move her up onto the operating table.  We still miss Zoe and the worst thing is - my wife blames herself for not researching the vet more before booking her in.  I know it's not her fault and I tell her that every time we talk about it.

New additions are wonderful...  but they never take the place of our lost loved ones - they carve their own place in our lives and that's better :)
