I had this girl 13 years and had to put her down today, she was a fantastic dog and never hurt anyone. Here she is in my mates sidecar, I am just so glad I took the picture, a moment in time!
I also recently had to put down a good friend I had had for 13 years. He was a great friend and an incredible dog. Sorry for your loss. It's a crappy thing to have to do but the memories will always be there.
Thanks Guys, I did everything I could to give her a good life. The side car has a side door and all my mate had to do was open the door and she was straight in, where are we going Mike? I went as well and I remember looking at her, she was in her element, a big grin on her face. From 12 weeks old, I took her to puppy class, then dog obedience to level 5, which is working off lead and just hand commands. Everyone who met her always said how good she was, she was truly an exceptional dog, and I miss her so much. I walked her at least once a day, sometimes twice, I rarely ever missed a walk and got tennis elbow from throwing the ball so much for her. At night she always laid close to me on the couch, and she slept beside me for most of her life, I think I was fulfilled having her by my side and no woman was able to compete. I remember thinking in the last 3 or 4 years of her life that if I met someone, I could not think of kicking her out of my bed, so subconsciously I think I gave up looking. Regards, Dave.
Thanks Guys, I really appreciate it, each day it seems to be hurting a little less. Gone but never forgotten! Regards, Dave.
Sorry for your loss, I feel your pain. There isn't a day that goes by where I don't think about the pets I have lost. Everyone took a piece of my heart with them.
Our staffy cross died last summer. Old Billy was nearly 19. Strangely even though he grew up and always lived around loud bikes and lawnmowers etc. he hated them. Poor guy didnt like loud noise much until he went deaf. Still dont think i could ever own another dog after that journey. My heart really goes out to you Dave.
I got my rotwieller at six months old at 70lbs. She was 145lbs that's big for a female. She was 10yo when she passed to the next life. I really miss her.
