Little late checking in this morning.

Had to bury my dog Daisy.

She was perfectly fine and active yesterday, wife found her dead in the flower garden this morning..Should have looked for her I guess when she wasn't sleeping on top of me as usual last night.

She was a good dog.

That's kind a how I want to go out, quick. Actually I'd like to get shot in the back as I'm having my way with some 25 year olds girlfriend.

I'm so sorry for your loss. We said good bye to our last pup 18 years ago the 28th. We decided that we couldn't go through that again. Both of us were holding and loving on him as the Vet gave him the shot and until his last breath. It's hard losing a member of your family. I still get choked up at times thinking about him. He was a moose-sized Min-Pin and only 9, and could have lived another 9 years, but just had too many bad conditions going on to cope with, even with vet care and medication. :(

Sorry for your loss :=[

Sorry Colonel - she looked like a sweetie. I'm sure you gave her the best life possible! That's the one thing that sucks about pets, is losing them.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Tough thing to lose a pet/friend. Happened to me a few times now. Sometimes it harder to take than a human loss. I know I'll have to go through it again someday.

[Bawanna]

Been through it a few times, never gets easier. I think we got 2 dogs and 2 horses buried in the back yard. Horses seem to be the worst. Wife and daughter were just basket cases. I'm sure they won't grieve near as much when I cross the river. Probably collect the insurance and buy another horse.
I did a commemorative 10/22 stock for a good friend when his miniature schnauzer passed. Me and that dog only saw each other about 10 days out of each year but we were pals, was like losing my own. Did a Schnauzer pin and some inlays and stuff. Made his day. I actually gave it to him a few months before the dog passed so didn't stir up no bad memory etc.

Oh no. I’m so sorry to hear that.

[JohnR]

I’m very sorry to hear that. My brother in law’s dog is buried in our yard, my cat is buried in my parents back yard.

[King Rat]

Man that sucks. I lost my Little Dog last year and there is not a day that goes by when I do not think of her three or more times a day. May God be with your and your family.





Prayers sent.

Daisy and her sister, both very young pups were found abandoned by one of our officers. The code compliance/animal officer brought them to the office and tried to find where they came from. I ended up taking Daisy and the Detective Sgt ended up taking the sister. Little bundles of energy, was hard to get a picture as she moved around so much. Almost had to catch her sleeping. She was mostly attached to my youngest son the Marine. He's moved out the last year or so, but she was all over him anytime he was home.

Sorry about your loss bawanna.. Seems like just a short time ago when you first posted about getting her. Like many others here had to bury a few pets myself over the years. Not easy i know. They always seem to find a way into your heart like no person ever can. Maybe it's just that unconditional love they seem to have for us.

[AJBert]

Sorry to hear about your dog. Like most on here, I have buried a number of pets over the years. First one was when I was about 4 or 5 helping my dad bury our family dog. Last one was about 7 years ago, our German Shepard who was around 13. Many in between. We have a very healthy and active mutt right now that is almost 7 years old. Not looking forward to when that day comes, but we enjoy life together every day.

As much as it hurts to lose a best friend who happens to have four legs and a tail, I can't imagine not having a dog in my life. Each time we lose one I swear I'll never get another. Within a year we always have a new member of the family.

[JohnR]

My wife recently suggested that after our two dogs are gone we don’t get any more. I was dumbstruck by the request and just kinda stared at her.

[BirdsThaWord]

Ah man! That’s the tough stuff right there. Sorry to hear of it Colonel. :frown:
As others said, some better feeling can be had just knowing what a great life she had with you by her side!!!

[BirdsThaWord]

Lol! Just read the last part of your post. Somehow missed it when I first looked. Man you sure can be funny sometimes. But not all the times. I still think the mattress tag thing was down right nefarious!

[Bawanna]

I'm just never gonna live down that mattress tag thing huh?

[BirdsThaWord]

I'm just never gonna live down that mattress tag thing huh?
Maybe in time. I’m getting forgetful as of late. Wife said I was supposed to do some yard work today, but not sure how I forgot that!:rolleyes:

[getsome]

So so sorry boss, we have them for such a short time and damn it hurts so bad when they go…….Wife is starting to talk about getting another dog because our kids can’t seem to figure out how to make her a grandchild…….Last dog we had was a black Lab/Chow mix named Bo we got from the shelter…..He was the best dog ever but July 13 2006 our house caught fire and burned and thankfully everyone that was home that awful day got out ok except for Bo who hid under our bed…….The firemen were so great and risked injury to go into the house and find him and bring him out……….I was afraid he was burned but it was the smoke that got him and he looked like he was just asleep…….It still hurts………..Maybe it’s time to adopt another one, we ain’t getting any younger and there’s plenty of good dogs out there looking for a forever home……

[O'Dell]

Sorry, Colonel, I know how you feel. I rescued a four week old kitten that had been turned out over twenty years ago. She died last year and I still feel it.
After I took her in, she was never outside except when I moved in 2003. Even then, I took her to the vet the night before for her shots and then to the new house after the move. I knew that the end was near on a Sunday afternoon and I held her on my lap for four and 1/2 hours. she was still purring when she took her last breath.

[jeepster09]

This says it all....

[tokuno]

Wow, what a cutie. So sorry for your loss.
As a child, I read Wilson Rawls' Where the Red Fern Grows, and I recommend the book (not the movie) to anyone who has loved a dog (i.e. everyone).

[Bawanna]

Strange even our cat who usually has nothing to do with me but goes to my wife and daughter when she visits fine is kind of clingy. She knows somethings amiss with Daisy not chasing her or tormenting her. She even sat out by the grave site quite a bit yesterday. Course could be waiting for a mouse but never seen her hang there before. They got along great, the cat would ambush the dog and vice versa.

[dustnchips]

So sorry. It is so hard to lose a faithful friend. A shame they were designed with such short life spans. I'm faceing the same thing soon. My dog is 14years old and is getting skinny and the vet says there is nothing to do, just old age. Deaf as a post and blind in one eye but still a great dog.

[Bawanna]

It's sad to watch them decline like that. I guess on the plus side is Daisy was fine one day and gone the next morning. Don't help much but watching them slip away is even harder.

[Armybrat]

Sad to hear about your loss. Most of us can empathize and feel your hurt.
I still miss the 4-legged buddies I and my family had growing up.
Maybe this will bring you a little cheer.

[BirdsThaWord]

Man that’s a great little cartoon. Perfect!
