I had to put my dog to sleep today. She was 14yrs old, I got her when she was 8. My step son couldn't take care of her anymore so naturally Mrs PokerDog couldn't let the dog go to the pound. Roxy was a beagle/pit bull mix. I'm more of a Golden Retriever person myself, not a fan of pits so I was not eager to bring her home. But being a dog myself we soon sniffed butts and bonded. I grew to love that damn dog as much as any other I've owned. Like me with the Blazers, Roxy had an obsession with squirrels. Absolutely hated them. Not sure if it was the pit or the beagle but I have never seen a dog climb a tree like she could. 10-20 feet up, chasing squirrels. It was amazing to see. And this is when she was 9yrs old. Anyway, dog hips and trees don't mix well, the last couple of years she's been arthritic. For the last week she just couldn't catch her breath anymore. Rip Roxy! I'll give it a month but heaven will soon be squirrel free.
Sorry for your loss man. Dogs are definitely mans best friend. Be proud you gave her a very well loved and spoiled(im sure) 6 years.
Condolences man. losing mans best friend is always terrible. im glad they give us so many fond memories before they pass though.
Fuck fuck fuck. One of the worst feelings in life. I'm glad to know you gave another crazy dog a good life. We have three little weirdos now, usually stick with two at a time.
Sorry man. That sucks. We have an old Goldie/chicken mix and I am dreading the day we have to say goodbye to her.
For all the companionship and good times a pet brings, the sorrow and grief when it dies is difficult. So sorry for your loss, SPD.
I wish I could write as elegantly about my dog as @crandc writes about her cats. Here is one thing Crandc couldn't do with her cats. Take the dog to the beach for the weekend, make sure you rent a room with two queen size beds so you can stick the dog in one all to herself when she is worn out and freezing from playing hours in the ocean.
Spoiled rotten! haha. everytime i try to crack down on my mut i fall for that damn dog stare and give her the pizza crust. she knows what a pizza box means. dog always gets the last bite. life is short. spoil them.
