I thought I prepared myself for it and knowing it was best but still took everything I had not to break down in there.

Man I guarantee there’s not a dry eye reading this thread, and that includes some big burly ol boys.

I have only openly wept as an adult a few times in public, 2 of them were at the vet holding a friend as they passed.

I held Max's face to mine. I made sure he knew, while I looked into his eyes, and kept telling him how I loved him.

The vet, who is not our regular vet (different practice too), cried with me.

Max was a mutt, but what a friend he was.

When our first grand daughter came to our house for a first visit (9 month old), I worried about what Max would do. Max had NEVER been around a child younger than 10. When that little gal arrived, Max looked at her, then me.....and his face said "WHAT is THAT". I said, don't worry buddy, she will win you over.

Afternoon of day 2, our grand daughter was crawling out of the living room. Max promptly got up, grabbed the seat of her pants, and carried her back into the living room with the rest of the adults. This happened so quickly, nobody had a chance to say or do anything when the 100 pounder Mutt grabbed the precious cargo.

I said....."Well, I guess that settles it. Better be careful if you pick up Ashlyn, Max might have something to say about this".

Today was a day I did also at the vets.

I lost a golden retriever 50 years ago. I still think of him. He was more of a brother than a friend. Now I am a bird man. They live longer.

Youre a stronger man than me.

I have a lady friend that said the best line. If you don't like guns and you don't like dogs, I don't need to know you.

I have had several good dogs over the years and a loyal one right now. But nothing beats the old ridgeback i found when i was 5. Was the day my brother came home from being born. She got into some rat poison when i was 10. That was 30 years ago and i still miss her. Maybe some day ill see her again.

This is wirehair dog Millie, who was sent to fill the crack in my heart that was left when my old wirehair dog, Gunner left us. Gunner was tough and loyal, Millie is sweet and affectionate.
I guess my hearts been broke about five times by these friends that don't live as long as we do. I pity the foo who isn't man enough to handle it though. I'd hate to live a life without them. jd

My wife and I took our 14 year old Morkie in Jan. 2nd to be put to sleep.
Poor little guy had congestive heart failure. He was a good dog. Still crying.

GoodDog = one word. This is Shell Belle, a rescue. She's still scared of her own shadow, but she's smothered in food, shelter and love now.

You guys made me tear up just reading this. I can't be anywhere dogs ain't. Love them. My two lil' shits. Combined 28 lbs of pure hell. Bodie, the white JRT rings a bell when he has to go pee. Ella, the tri color is full of so much love it's unreal. But both are like having really curious toddlers at all times.

 

[dtucker]

That right their is the best gal in the whole world. She is the love of my life.

My Doberman named Lugar passed away in his sleep and I could not handle it. I cried for 3 months and lost 40 lbs, I was just so heart broken. He was the best friend I ever had. I woke up to find he had passed away alone in his bed, I didn't get to hold him while he passed or say good bye. That was three years ago and I still have his pictures in my livingroom along with his ashes. My heart still aches for him and I have times I still cry like a baby.
