Put my shop dog to sleep today..a sad day.

Sorry to hear that Ray. I lost my short-hair of 14 years about 12 years ago and It was though. I did finially get another and was glad I did.
 
Rene,

I am so sorry about that. I do hope your and your family's pain subsides soon as possible. I know what it feels like and the faithfullness we give them and they in return. It is part of life though. Personally I have found it better to wait a reasonable while before trying to replace the one I lost. For me it is less emotional in choosing a replacement and it does give a time to sorrow for the one that has left. I believe a reason God gave us the ability to domesticate animals is so that we, being so much less than he, can better understand his love and hurt for us.

I am very sorry to hear of your loss. I have had to say goodby to several really good dogs in my lifetime. It really hurts, and some people don't understand our grief.
Three years ago I lost my minicher Pincher. She was four years old. AT first I thought I would never have another dog. The pain was so great I never wanted to go through it again. But within a week I changed my mind. I found and bought two young minicher pinchers,(sisters). I have never regretted it. They don't replace my first dog, I will always miss her, but they sure helped fill the empty place. They have become very special to me. Looking back I think I made the right decision.
 
Rene,

I feel real bad for you. Linda and I just put down two pets 2 weeks apart, and it was not an easy choice, but sometimes you just have to let them go. Their quality of life is more important than keeping them around to satisfy your own need for their companionship. When they're in too much pain, it's best to let them go.

Again, Rene, I'm very sorry for you.

Rene,sorry to hear that I had to put my pitbull to sleep one of the harderst things I have did...I now how you feel
 
I am sorry to hear that, Rene. I have been through it recently, too. I was taking care of a priend´s puppy last week that was recovering from parvovirosis and it died in my hands.
Don´t wait to get another dog to make you company as the shop gets too empty without them. I have seven now.
 
sorry to hear that rene
the last freind I had was with us for about 11 years and I was the one to have her put down. I won't have any other, it hurt to much,, I know how you feel.. the hurt gets better I think?:( I have a cat now..:)
 
Truly sorry for your loss. I get weepy everytime I hear of someone losing their dog, they are just so special, giving and loving, do most anything to please. "The more I know about people, the more I like my dogs." Don't know who said it, but I really like it. Do get another one or two!!. Best, Preston

Bro, sorry. Listen, that's why I have three and always will. My dogs are 9, 5 and 2. When one dies I'll get another one. It will still hurt but the puppy and the other two will help ease the pain.:)

LOL I have 3 and they are 8,5 & 2... I'm not sure what I'll do when my oldest goes though, he's been my buddy for a long time, and I have yet to meet another one quite like him :o

I think that's the main problem, when you lose one you want to find one just like him/her, and that will never happen, but not getting another companion isn't worth all the fun you lose w/o them!

Steve, formerly paintfool <--jeez I wish one of the admins would reply to my emails!!!! :p
 
I really appreciate all of your kind words and advice...:) Thank you all again...I have started the journey of finding the next shop dog....I will let you guys know when I find him/her...at that point I will ask for help on naming it....Happy Holidays :D
