Bummer Lane, That is hard and we have been there several times as we are dog lovers as well. Amazing how much of family they become.  I am trying to get my head wrapped around putting down a horse that I have had longer then any others.  Sorry for your loss my friend.

My heart goes out to you. It's been 10 years now my Springer has been gone and due to a multitude of reasons I've only recently been looking to replace her. 
I found many years ago that it is much easier and more rewarding working with those that don't know anything than those that know it all.

I hate that, Lane.  I lost my best friend of nearly 17 years awhile back.  Nana had been with nearly a 1/3 of my life.  While driving home today I had a memory of one of our mis-adventures.  It gave me a smile on what has been a very rough day.  Nana was Britany Spaniel, a lap dog, a chest warmer at the cabin and hunting companion I was honored to follow in the field.  A man is truly blessed to have the love and devotion of  good dog.

Always sad to see this news.  Been through it a few times now.  No words made me feel better, just time.

Sorry to hear that Lane.  That's one of the worst feelings a person can have.  I feel for you buddy.

Sorry to hear that, Lane.  You and I understand that we never fully deserve the respect and love we receive from our dogs.  That's part of why it hurts so much to lose one, we feel we've lost the last chance to make it up to them for all the richness they add to our lives.  Let me know if you want an ear to listen.

Wow... You put into words exactly why I feel sad sometimes... That is really why it hurts so much.   :'(
