    Lost my dog Moxie yesterday. She appears to have died peacefully while she was sleeping. She was 9 1/2 years old and half Lab/half German shorthair. She was the best hunter and dog I have had. They take a big piece of your heart with them when they go. The two pics are when she was a pup and the other one is from about two weeks ago.

      I seriously feel for you, brother. I have a German Shepherd Dog that is 11.5 years. They typically last ten. We, as humans, don’t deserve dogs. They’re too good for us.

              ND Mike my heart goes out to you brother. Dogs are definitely gifts to mankind and become part of the family. Those pics are awesome. Just remember those good times with that beautiful pup.

                      I’m sorry to hear that. I’ve got a lab that is going on 12, although he is in relatively good health I know it could be any day at his age.

                            My wife had a 6 mo old pit when I met her and over the 13 years we had that dog, I complained about her all the time. She was a good dog, and only had a few annoying quirks. Her last couple days got progressively rough quickly. She lost nearly all sight, and couldn’t hold her bladder. When the day came to have her put down she could no longer stand, and I ugly cried in the parking lot afterwards. Snot bubbles and all. My condolences.

                                        ND Mike Im so sorry man, hardest days. When we first got Brutus I would joke around that I would get rid of him if it would even please Riggins a little bit. 2 years go by and when a vet dared to ask me if they “lost” him on the surgery if we wanted them to resuscitate him and I told the vet I’d burn down his office if he killed my dog. There is something deeply primal about our relationships with our dogs. I don’t have kids, in some ways my dogs are my kids and when it is “that time” with Riggins I am sure I will be a puddle for weeks.

                                          Jonathon I believe you are right about the connection with dog and man. It is still pretty tough but we are getting through it. I have her ashes on my counter right now. I will be putting together a little memorial that will go on our mantle above the fireplace. Thanks again everyone for the kind words. I know from this group that they were all heartfelt words!
