Another "Dog - Gone" Thread

[jds holler]

It is with tears in my eyes that I say goodbye to my best buddy for these last fourteen years.



Aspendale's Gun Smoke, AKA Gunner, Gundog, Gun, took his last ride in the rig today. I know that there's a bunch of y'all who know the kind of pain I'm going through right now, and yeah, I'll accept your prayers and sympathy. jd

I’m sorry for your loss. They really are like family.

 

[JMayo]

My heart goes out to you

The pain is real.

These darn dogs! They have a way of sneaking deep into our hearts. Our oldest pooch was this week diagnosed with cancer. When she gets sicker I have no idea who's taking her to the vet. Remember the good times you had with your pup and that you gave him a good life.

That never gets easier. Always the same. They are so damn lovable and loyal. Sorry for your loss sir.

 

[Danoh]

So sorry for your loss. I have been through it myself and it is amazing how much it can hurt . . . it really is losing a loved family member.

Sorry about Gunner JD, I know it's tough as we lost Monster this year.
We picked out a tree for his grave, and have him buried so as we can see him and think of all the love he gave.

I’m very sorry for your loss, I still miss my little buddy every day.
Sincerely
Jim

Few things hurt more than losing your dog. Sorry for your loss

We only have them on loan for such a short time. Best we can do is return a small amount of their boundless love and savor the memories once they are gone. We all hurt for you.

 

[Sieg]

Sincerest condolences. The hurt cuts deep..... though their pawsitive memories remain for a lifetime. Few if any things are better than the companionship of dog in my world. They define unconditional love.

Time will heal and another genuinely appreciative companion will be there for your love when you're ready.

I think that you nailed it. Imagine what a peachy world this would be if we all knew how to love as much and as hard as our dogs do. jd

Sorry for your loss.
I myself have a German Wirehair. She is my best girl.

 

[blairf]

So sorry for the loss of your beloved family member. Praying for you and your family.

Gunner was a large, fourteen year old dog. As ya might imagine, we've known that this day was coming for quite awhile. I even thought that I had accepted the fact, and that it wouldn't be too bad. I was wrong about that assumption.

I really appreciate everyone who is offering their sympathy, and I apologize to anyone out there who has never loved a dog, and might be rolling their eyes. jd

 

[Schandler]

If someone is rolling their eyes then they’ve never had a dog. My deep heart felt sympathy to you. Ashamed to admit but hurts as bad as any other human family member i have lost. Jd put of few pics up of gunner and look at them as you pass by and in week or two start looking in paper or online for a new pup. I got in hot water here with the bride for getting new puppy few weeks after my dog died but she didn’t set bed on fire with me in it and i believe new pup is loved even more than 1st and my wife is not what i would call an animal lover. In my book there’s nothing like mans best friend beside you

 

[misfire]

Sorry for your loss and I feel your pain lost my best friend of 16 years last April.
They say it gets better with time but I can't tell you how long it will take when I think of her I still get tears in my eyes.

 

[jpx2rk]

Sorry for your loss, it really sucks when they leave us. I still miss my Roxy (a boxer) from 26 months ago. It's a hard road to travel for sure. Best wishes.

ETA:
Her bed is still in our MBR as she slept in there with us the majority of her life, her ashes have rested on her bed since we brought her back home. Still have the basket of her toys in the corner too.
