Lost my 13 year old chocolate lab Buddy today from nose cancer jst 45 days after my black lab jake passed away sad day here
My heart goes out to you. It's like losing a family member, 'cause they are family.
Words just are not enough to express this kind of grief...my heart is heavy for you as I buried a fine old chocolate last year. We will see them again on fine day, till then...do the best you can, it does get better eventually...especially when you allow another into your life!
Its hard to be were you are. Been there and done that. Prayers sent
So sorry to hear this.
I know how you feel, having gone through it too many times myself.
Best thing to do is find another pup.
Not as a replacement but as a successor.
I am really sorry to hear that. Prayers sent. I have a chocolate lab that is having serious health issues and we expect to lose her any day.
She is part of the family and it will really suck when she goes. So I feel for you.
There's something particularly touching on a very deep level about when one of our beloved pets are lost. They ask and receive so little of us, and love us no matter what. Only Christ, I think, ever loved in the way that our good pets do. Maybe that's why "dog" is "God" spelled backwards?
Very sorry to hear of your loss, 44. I went through that not too long ago, and it was a great tragedy to me. Mine was a Llewellyn setter, field trial bred, and a wonderful companion as well. And she died of heart worms. Just went out one day in a little drizzle, and laid down under some flowers running on a stake, and just died right there. She looked as if she was sleeping, but you could tell instantly that she wasn't sleeping. I cried many bitter tears, but was thankful I'd had such a wonderful and wonder filled dog for as long as I had. A man who has one truly great dog in his lifetime is a blessed man, but a man who has had as many as I have, is blessed beyond our calculations.
It's said that dogs can't go to Heaven, but I'm not convinced of that. If nothing else, they CAN get to Heaven through us, and all the things they instill in and teach us, not only about them, but about our own selves, if we let them. God be with you and provide you peace in your time of loss.
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. I have not been a dog person, but I have lost some preety amazing cats so I know the feeling.
On a happier note I am waiting for a new puppy to grow old enough to go and pick him up. 6 weeks I think.

It came to me that every time i lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them, and every new dog who comes into my life gifts me with a piece of their heart. If i live long enough all the components of my heart will be dog, and i will become as generous and loving as they are. - anonymous
I'm very sorry for your loss. I've been there many times and it always hurts.
Know that you gave your dog a good life, the best life it could have.
The painful truth is that we typically out-live our special friends. You can take comfort in knowing that because of you - your dog didn't live a bad life. Your dog: didn't go hungry, wasn't cold and wet for days on end, wasn't lonely, wasn't covered in ticks and fleas and had a "pack leader" that looked out for him.
I'm sure if he could thank you for a good life, he would.
I had a dog that someone discarded near my home. I didn't pick him - he picked me. I eventually took him in. He was an adult but probably not more than a year or two old. I took him to the vet and got him cleared medically. After that I took him home and he was one of the best dogs I ever had. Last spring, after about 12 years in my care, he died. I take comfort in knowing that during my watch he was well fed, clean and comfortable.
Sorry for your loss
Sorry to hear this. Labs are the most loyal of dogs.
I am another dog guy and am truly, truly sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss, pets are a part of us and losing one leaves a hole in our hearts.
It's been years since I had and lost a dog but this still chokes me up. So sorry you lost part of your family.
Very sorry for your loss.
They are indeed. Sorry for your loss.Quote:

Ive had quite a few dogs through the years but the last one was the first lab and he was a special dog. So much so that I will surely own no other dogs but labs in the future.
Sorry to hear. Dogs are family members and will be missed forever. Labs are so smart and loyal.
Sorry for your loss Deerslayer I have buried 7 myself and every time I say no, I won't go through this again. Then after a few months one of my sons or daughter in laws will come over with a brand new pup and I can't say no to that and it starts again I will train that new pup until they know what I am about to do just as sure as they could read my mind . I am at the point in life where things are being taken from me dogs, old friends I worked with even some a lot younger than me enjoy your life and get another best friend that is why God made them.
