We lost our best friend today

[Midrsv]

Knowing that you are a compasionate group, I just wanted to let eveyone know that my wife and I lost our best friend today, our Golden Retriever. We had to put Tucker down this morning due to hemangiosarcoma, a cancer of the blood vessels. His passing has left a huge hole in our hearts. He made us smile and laugh for 9 1/2 years. He was a good dog and a good friend.

 

 

He will be missed.

I am about to face the same thing. Got 2 Boxers been with us for over 10 years now. Hate to see them go. Dogs become a big part of the family.

[FROG MAN]

PETS Are Very Special Often Closer Then Family. Sometimes The Only Friend One Has. I'm Glad The Lord Created Them For Us. Time Will Heal The Hurt And Another Can Never Take His Place But May Become Just As Special. Cherish The Memories.

[BradT]

Sorry to hear. I know how you feel we have had to do this as well. They really become a part of the family.

Sorry to hear of your loss...we know how much pets become part of the family...they certainly have become a part of ours.

 

Best regards...

[Hagmaster]

Very sorry to here of your loss, recently we had to put our 15 year old lab to rest. Truly a difficult time. Our prayers are with you.

[Guest BluesLover]

Sorry to hear about losing Tucker.

 

We had to put down our 17 year old lab/collie cross (she had the equivalent of canine Altzheimer's) just before Christmas last year and it was one of the toughest things I've ever had to do.

 

We know that she went to a better, less painful place ...

Isn't it amazing how those critters can get so close to you? Sorry to hear of your loss. I am sure he leaves a big hole in your life.

[Grandpagak]

pets, are just as important as your kids.. and they are so loyal to you...we have had to put down our britany spanial that was with us before the kids we had her for 17 years.. three cats ... one was 71/2, one was 9, one was 13, ... the 13 year old cat was krippled for 7 years.. (hit by a car) so he was extra special to the wife..

( the dog passed away 15 years ago, and we still find ourselves talking about her..) sorry i just talk to much...

[Eddie]

Sorry to hear this, dogs really are your best friend.

I am so sorry about your loss of Tucker. It's amazing how an animal becomes a part of our lives and a member of our family. We lost our 14 year old Dalmatian a few months after we moved to Oklahoma 2 years ago. I think she held on until I adjusted to our new home, and then it was okay for her to let go.

i to am sorry for your loss,but at the same time i am glad "tucker" is not suffering anymore.

just jt

[Royal05Steve]

Sorry to hear it. We had to do the same thing to our 14yr Lab a month ago. I know how you feel.

[Black Ice]

Loosing your friends like this really leaves a void. Sorry to hear it. We too are seeing this coming in the near future and dreading it. Have done it twice before and it never gets easier.

More than sorry to hear it. I had to put 2 down within a year a while back (one of them was my drug dog) and it realy hurt. I feel for you and hope you can find another to try and take some of the sorrow away. You can never replace the one that is gone.

[Landpig]

May your hurt an sadness subsize soon .

 

A hug for both of you

We are sorry for your loss. Family is family no matter what shape they come in. I know that pets are the best sounding boards we could have. They listen and never criticize. Keep the good memories in your heart.

I guess sometime in our lives, we have all lost a pet along the way. The stress in life even makes it harder. After 16 1/2 yrs. my cat lost his battle with cancer. During his last days, he could hardly walk, and it was too much to bare. The day I had him put down, my back went into spasum as the stress was too much to bare also. So yes, it hurts when it's time to lay them to rest. Sorry for your loss Midrsv. I have another female that is over 16 and being medicated for an overactive thyroid, don't know how long she is going to last. The record for a cat staying with us, I heard is 32 yrs. I've heard of a lot of cats averaging between 18 and 23 years old. This is why I stay with cats, they have twice the life span of a dog.

[Tramp]

Sorry for your loss. I still haven't gotten over losing Tasha, our 14 year old Boxer, and that was April, '05. They can become such a big part of our lives.

[Moakster]

WE had a Goldie named (Lanna). She was the most intelligent dog we had ever owned. She would pick up on our moods and react to them in a way that was most enjoyable. When we were down or upset she would pester us to play to take our mind off of what we had going wrong in our lives. After the attention she would know that we were over our spell and would come over and lick us to say she understood. She was the best counselor we ever had. She could litterly read your mind. She died a few years ago from a brain disorder after 12 years of keeping our lives balanced and happy. She was a member of your family and when you think of him I am sure you feel the same. Please understand that what I'm about to say is from experience. Wait a while and please get another Goldie. They are wonderful dogs and great additions to families. Myself and my parents have both had Golden Retriever Rescue dogs and they can not be beat. When they come to your home the only thing on their mind is to please you. They are the most well mannered dogs who for what ever reason were left with G.R.R. These Goldie's are only wanting a home and people to love. You would not go wrong with one of them.

My heart goes out to you on your loss of a valued friend. Moakster

My regrets - I too have lost my best friend recently - an 11 year old Chow.

Pets are marvelous companions - always giving unconditional love.

[Guest Giggles]

Sorry about your loss. Sometimes I hate getting new pets. Like you all said you get to attached to them.
