I just can’t even...

[_Snake_]

I'm really sorry for your loss OP. We had three dogs and are down to just one. The only thing that makes a dog's passing worse is when you have to make the decision instead of mother nature.

Some of the worst heartache I've ever been through and I truly feel for anyone that's lost man's best friend.

You, your family, and Chaz will be in our prayers.

So sorry for your loss. I have 3 of my own and can't imagine life without them.

Lost my dog about 8 months ago. She was only 4 years old. One night she was energetic and happy as always then when we woke up the next morning she was gone. She was so cold the vets couldn’t even pull any blood out of her. So we don’t know why she died. Worst feeling in the world.

So sorry you lost your buddy.

Sorry for your loss. They are family.
We lost ours a few years back and still go out to their graves with tears.

Thanks all. Chaz would be up, walking around, making noise, staring at you, and whining at the exact time (7:30am) he was due breakfast. I slept until 10:30 today.

@ZYBORG at first we thought he may have eaten something. But we found no real evidence of that. So I’m guessing heart attack or something of that nature.

Damn man, sorry for the loss. I went through this a couple years ago.
And I still miss that dog. Haven't even wanted another one yet.

May your buddy rest in peace.

In my personal experience, one thing that helps me deal with a loss like that, is taking in another animal and giving it a chance at a better life.

Maybe a stray or animal from the shelter.

Not sure if intefested, but I just found this little one about 2 months ago in bad shape. We took her in and nursed her back to health. Perfect health now. We are trying to find a nice home for her, since we are already at max capacity (2 dogs and 3 cats).

Feel free to PM me if interested. If not a cat person, perhaps swing by one of the local shelters. Saving a life will help aleviate some of the hurt that you are carrying around right now.

Sorry to hear man, that's terrible. I'm not sure how I would feel or what I would.

So sorry for your loss. I'm not going to be in good shape when it's my pups turn...

Like or hate the show Street Outlaws, but "Farm Truck" said it best when he described the loss of losing a pet. I don't remember the exact words, but it was something along these lines: you have kids and strive to see them become independent and leave the nest; however, your pet is your companion and you never want them to leave.

Thanks for the offer, cute kitten. But I prefer them on YouTube.

I’m definitely going to have to process this for a while.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.

Yes sir.

Take care and keep occupied.

Sorry for your loss.
Losing animals always ****ing blows. IT takes time to get over them, especially when you look to the spot they always are in, and now it's empty.

The dog I grew up with as a kid, Max, was this huge german shepherd. 140lbs, but not an ounce of fat on him. He would allow us to horse around with him and was always super gentle with us, but was a fierce guard dog. Came home from school one day and found him dead in the backyard. Picked him up in the wheelbarrow, dug a hole, cried but felt at peace as he lived a good long life. I assume he just dropped dead. While it sucked, I was glad he hopefully went quickly, and didn't have a dragged out slow death where his body was failing him in some way.
I learned to appreciate that even more when I lost another german shepherd, Roxy, to cancer/tumor later on in life. Perfectly healthy dog, then boom, you could see the change for the worse as the days went by. You could see in her eyes she was ready to die. Still tugs at me to this day. She was glued to me, always wanting to serve/ play.

Man that really sucks. I'm so sorry for your loss.
I almost like dogs more than humans. On most days, I do! So sorry man.

 

[JPKII]

Sorry for your loss. My heart is with you and your family.

 

[Sinister04L]

12 years 8 months. No where near long enough, God really ****ed up on dog’s life span.

Very sorry to hear this buddy. My boy was 12 years and 9 months when we lost him last year. I was working nights and my wife came home from the park with our other dog and found him. Bad night.

It does get better. Just remember that even though it was a short time that you gave him a great life. Chin up!

Sorry for your lost. We just lost our Shepard this past Friday. He was 11. Unfortunately we were not able to get to the vet in time to be able to save him.

At least it seems like it was peaceful and in his sleep. It's much harder to watch your dog deteriorate and have to have them put down.
