"Carl's Lounge" (Off-Topic Discussion, Traditional Knife "Tales & Vignettes")

Kris my heart breaks for you and your family!!!

Nanc, our boy's and I are in a similar situation....Buddy, my avatars ever since I've been here is rapidly declining. I've made arrangements with a couple that cremates pets also so his ashes will be spread in memorable places we would hike to.

Duncan even drew a BEAUTIFUL picture of buddy that is so life like it leaves you breathless. The memories are timeless and precious, prayers from the Dakota's for Conner you and your family Kris.

I really appreciate the kind words, thank you. I will have to bring Conner in Monday morning to put him down and cremate his body, so I can spread his ashes in some of our favorite hiking spots. Cleopatra is a sad dog today.

Conner June's last outing a few weeks ago, he couldn't hike very far but enjoyed laying in the creek, as he always did.

That is always hits harder than most understand. I would love to see more pics of Conner and read a few more stories.
 
MT Damascus, it sucks, I know. Just really sucks. Like losing your right arm suckiness. Hurts too, I know. Deep down. This just sucks all around.

I'm praying for you all.
 
Even though it is sad, there is luck here too.

Connor the dog had a life that was rich and lucky, lucky he had you for an owner and comrade, lucky for you he was able show his greatness. Some animals remain with us throughout our lives, never forgotten, always inspiring.

Regards to you and yours, Will

Thank you my friends, the kind words are overwhelming. It is nice to know that others understand the love and friendship a dog can bring into ones life.

As much as it grieves us to lose our canine companion, I feel more sorry for the ones who have never had their life enriched by the companionship of that good dog. The one that is a 'once in a lifetime dog.' I know that after the past 14 years, my corgi girl, Pearl, is going to be leaving me in the not too distant future. I really don't know how I will handle it. She's been everywhere with us for the past 14 years, on near every road trip, hike, campout, and just hanging out. I can't imagine the black hole that takes over when they leave. I can only hope we'll meet again on the other side.

I hope I'll be worthy of crossing the rainbow bridge to see my little girl again when the time does come. If there are no dogs in heaven, I don't care of I don't make it. Like Will Rogers said; "I want to go where the dogs go."

Kris, I'm very sorry to hear of this. For 10 years I've worked as a trainer but I cannot any longer, because my dog Scout (my avatar) is nearing the bridge too after 13 years. Since I have no children, he's been like a son to me. He's my greatest achievement with the years of work put into him. They are never just a dog, but a part of us made better. It sounds as though you did right by him. Take comfort in knowing what you meant to him.
