Had to say goodbye to a friend and companion of 12 years today.

Sorry to hear that, losing a loved pet is always hard.
sorry to hear
That hurts me just to hear you tell about it. They are truly a member of the family. There is only one problem with dogs, they just don't live long enough!

I feel your loss! My last dog lasted 16 years, and the one before that lived 15 years. At my age, I feel getting another dog would be unfair to all concerned as it is likely it would fall to one of my kids to look after him/her when I am gone.

Feel your pain. Sorry you lost your buddy.
My sincere condolences on the loss of your friend.

Aye, it is never easy. One of ours is not expected to make it through the year - what do the vets know anyway. Sorry for your loss.
It's rough loosing a buddy. Sure do feel for you.
My sincerest condolences.
What a good looking dog! They sure don't live long enough.
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
Deepest condolences friend. I had to put down my yellow lab this morning. He was in terrible shape the last couple of days. He couldnt eat, drink or walk. Both hips were out of place as well. Noah was his name and he was 14 years old. He was a wonderful companion, hunting partner, loved his family and would do anything to protect them and make them happy. I just could not bear to see him in pain any longer. So long my friend.

Thanks, everyone.
Lab, condolences to you as well. Roxy had the same issues as Noah plus had cancer that caused a lot of fluid and swelling in her abdomen.
As much as it pained us to put her down, it broke our heart to see her suffering.
Worst feeling in the world. Enjoy the memories of times past.
Sorry to hear of your loss. Those special friends give us so much and ask so little in return.
Been through this several times. Doesn't seem fair, their time is so short.

And on the 9th Day
God looked down on his wide eyed children and said they need a companion
So God made a Dog
God said I need somebody to wake up and give kisses, pee on a tree, sleep all day, wake up again, give more kisses, and then stay up till midnight basking in the glow of the television set.
So God made a Dog
God said I need somebody willing to sit, then stay, then roll over then with no ego or complaint dress in hats they do not need and costumes they do not understand. I need somebody who can break wind without a first thought or second thought. Who can chase tails, sniff crotches, fetch sticks and lift spirits with a lick. Somebody no matter what you didn’t do, or couldn’t take, or didn’t win, or couldn’t make will love you without judgment just the same.
So God made a Dog
God said I need somebody strong enough to pull sleds and find bombs, yet gentle enough to love babies and lead the blind. Somebody who will spend all day on a couch with the resting head and supportive eyes to lift the spirits of a broken heart.
So God made a Dog
It had to be somebody who would remain patient and loyal even thru loneliness. Somebody to care, cuddle, snuggle and nuzzle, and cheer and charm and snore and slobber and eat the trash and chase the squirrels. Somebody who would bring a family together with selflessness of an open heart. Somebody who would bark, and then pant, and then reply with the rapid wag of tail when their best friend says lets go for a ride in the car.
So God made a Dog
God said I need somebody who would stand at your side when the world around you collapses. Somebody to lie next to you during the long nights of pain and sorrow when it hurts to move, or talk, or think, or be. Somebody to stand guard, play games, snore for hours, and repeat as needed. Somebody to give you strength when you have none of your own. Somebody to fight when you have no fight left, to hold onto your soul as if it were their favorite toy, playing tug of war to keep you in this world. Somebody to be your companion and guide in this world and the next. Somebody to wait for you on the other side or stand guard in your absence until they can join you for eternity.
So God made a Dog

Sorry for your loss - I know it hurts. They are family...
