    Bad day :-(

    We had my buddy for almost 15 years and it was time for him to go. It is not the first time, but man, why does it never get any easier...

    Yeah, that sucks man. I've had to put two friends down in the last few years. Never gets easier, that is for sure. Pets deserve to live forever, that's a fact.

    Yes, we got three Great Pyrenees as well. While they don't listen to anything (almost...), they have amazing personalities.

    Thank you all for your support!

    Tom,

    My heart goes out to you and the family. Dogs never cease to amaze me and I love them from the bottom of my heart. The unconditional love and support they have for their owners, can't be matched.

    My dog is turning ten this year. It's sad to think that the time I will have with her is less than the time I have had with her.

    Sorry for your loss. I have outlived 2 wonderful dogs since retiring in 1996 and now I have Blue Heeler, Nikki, who is age six. It seems we will both exit about the same time in 5 or 6 years. If I erred in the past, it was I often waited too long for the LAST trip over the hill to the vet's office for the final injection.
