it's gone through my head once or twice, but i always end up thinking "you know what, it's worth the pain considering the good times him and I shared"
he was a champion. had some funny habits, including growling at the walls... but he kept us amused!
that is how it was here last dec. going on a year, i had to put one of our labs down long story but his brother for about 2 weeks set behind our suburban that was the truck i took him to the vets in. even though he knew we took him out and into the back yard he would set at the back doors waiting for us to open the doors so his brother could get out. and he has changed he seems much sadder now even though this spring thewent and got another black lab puppy. and had i forgotten about the puppy stage, he ate our phone yesterday. his nickname went from s*** head to dingaling.
tell me about it. the current mal looks like she's aged 8 years in the last few weeks. her face is always droopy and she seems to have so many wrinkles. she's only just started eating properly again, and she really didn't need to lose the couple of pounds that she inevitably has. she still won't lie on his couch, she still looks past us when we come through the door, and she still searches the dog park/yard/neighbourhood...
oh, and she won't eat until after we set down a bowl of chow for him too

Husker wouldn't have happened if we went with our first instinct to give it some time after Harley passed. We thought it too soon, but now it pains me if we would have said no..
He looks like a friendly guy too.....so sorry to hear about it. Never easy but I'm sure he was well loved.
Beautiful Dog ! We will be leaving our dog Zip at home this year for SnT I am not happy about that. The best to you and your Family
That crazy beotch Sylvia Browne says" That the first thing to greet you in heaven are the animals you had in whole life".....it'll be great to see my Dad and Grandparents...but it'll really, really be good to see Babe, Muffin, Gretal and Zoe..all great dogs and miss and think of them everyday
and of course I'm sorry for the loss..he sure was a pretty boy

I'm so sorry. My little guy is sitting on my lap now and I can't fathom the pain of loss.Hang in there man. I believe that as long as we can provide the best life they can have and enjoy themselves, we did alright.
The Golden Bridge always brings a tear to my eye.
I can't believe it's taken me so long to be able to post this,
2 weeks ago we lost our German Shepherd x Rottweiler, Zeus, to penis cancer...
almost a year to the day to when we lost our malamute to bone cancer too...
Zeus had a good innings, we adopted him at 9 when his family moved to iraq. at age 13, we noticed that his bladder was dripping when he walked. up until this point he was 100% healthy, consistently outrunning 2 year old boarder collies at the dog park. age didn't seem to slow him down. took him in to the vet, and a long story short, a small tumour was in his urethra. it was removed, but in the 4 days it took to get the biopsy results back, it had returned, twice the size of the original, and several other tumours were present up to his bladder.
we made the hardest call, to send him to rainbow bridge...
He was one of those dogs that just feels like he'll always be there. even now when i get home from work i half expect him to greet me at the door to make the day brighter. He took a special shining to the
So Zeus, our mate, our protector, till we we meet on the other side, our lives will feel that little bit more empty without you, but have been infinitely better for having shared this time.
Condolences. I have been there before. The lab I had before this one died at sixteen on the floor at my parent's house literally in my arms while I was petting him. That was rough.
i have no pics of before his bro died but i am sure this will look familar.
the plus is that he has really bonded with me sometimes to the point he will be in the way but that is a ok with me he is a good boy and he knows it. the pup in the back ground is the new puppy my son named him stitch the second. if you do not have kids both dogs have names from lilo and stich the desney movie and cartoon. the dog in the pics name is jumba.

Well the Princess and I have been taking this in our own ways, but last night while wrenching on the 40 we started discussing the good times with him.
one of his favorite pasttimes was to wander round the shed watching us work on it. he just needed to be round the family. he was always going to get the first trip out in the 40 once it was finished, but sadly he missed that by a matter of weeks, so with the princess's blessing, the previously unnamed 40 is now Zeus, in his memory, because they both exuded that solid, dependable character.
and i think his ashes might just make the debut trip with us this weekend.
i Still tear up occasionally, but more often than not, i just get a little smile at his memory.

wow, what a great way to honor his memory, naming the 40 after him.
I couldn't sell my 1st 60, cuz all my (now deceased) dogs had ridden in it, so I 'sold' it to my lil sis.
