Very sorry to hear of your loss. Sounds like Jack had a great life and was very loved. Things like this are why I can't read that book "Marley and Me", especially since my dog's name is Marley. He's 7 years old and I'm already dreading the day that he won't be my co-pilot on wheeling trips. Pets just don't live long enough.

Man....I can't read stuff like that at work anymore. I don't think my office neighbor believed me when I said I had something in my eye. My condolences.
 
Just reading that led me to call my buddy Straw over and give him hug. I'm not looking forward to going through what you're going through right now, bderks.:frown:
I'm so sorry for your loss.

:cheers: to dogs. They are a man's best friend. Cats just suck.
 
I am truly sorry for your loss. I know very well how hard it is to lose such a good friend.
The only thing that I can say is that the sorrow will subside as you remember all the good memories you will keep forever.

It's been just over a year since we had to put down our 14yr old best friend Nakite. (Na-kee-tay) My wife and I still comment to each other how much we miss 'Kita. He was the first and only dog our boys had every known.
He was about 3.5 mths when he was found dodging cars on the highway. Grew to be 55lb and would possible kill any man who touched/harmed any child. A grown woman would probably get away w/ sever bites. This dog NEVER harmed any child. He would not even show any aggression when the kids would reach into his food bowl when he was eating. He would simply move to the other side and try to eat a little faster. He had been used as a pillow, a foot rest and even a moving target when the boys would play w/ Nurf guns. He enjoyed every minute w/ the boys. The children could poke, pull, sit on, drag or anything else to this dog and he would not so much a snear. If I did the same thing as the kids, he would let me know that he didn't like it. His self-claimed job was to protect the children around him and he did it very well. All three of our children learned to walk while holding onto his fur. Even when his foot was broken and one of the children happened to step on his foot, he never bit a child.
Once you were introduced as a friend, he would never be aggressive toward you. After he was told "No!" just once, he would not even chase the boy's pet rabbit that ran around the back yard. He'd sure give the squirrels a run for their nuts.

I know this is not the type of dog for everyone. For our house, when the kids were smaller and I was traveling w/ work, this dog made my wife and I a whole lot happier and feel a little safer. I never worried where the kids were as long as 'Kita was w/ them.
 
I don't have any pets but after reading that story I got a little teary eyed. Very sad. You have my condolences. I'm sure your buddy had a great life that was attributed to you, and you have great memories.
 
:frown: sorry
 
When I lost my first Golden (Zorn, the big guy), I vowed never to get that attached again... then I got my current golden Brandy...

Ron Null shared this with me, and I have it pinned right here...

To Love dogs is to know death and to accept that there is never a time we are more morally obligated to speak for them when they face the end of their lives.


brings a tear to my eye just to type that...

Sorry about your lose.
 
Sorry for your loss.

Pets are with us for such a short period of our lives, yet you will remember him forever. Take heart into the fact that your life was enrichened by his presence and that you gave him a great home and with much love. Have a beer and toast his life with friends.
 
Man,that's sad stuff right there.God bless you and your little Dog,too.That's a tough read.You lost a dear friend and I can feel the pain myself.Never met either of you but.you'll be together again someday.My condolences to you and yours
 
Damn man, that was a tuff read...
they really get to be a part of the family and fast, eh?

i have gone through this a few times now and it never gets easier... i really hate reading these threads, it brings back memories...

i feel for you and your wife, a serious "sorry for your loss"

hint:
although a new puppy never really replaces the one that has passed away i always finds it helps.

<choked up at the keyboard>
 
I feel for ya....

We lost our german shep. a little over a month ago. I still look in the corner of my office where he went to work with me everyday for three years :(

you will never get over it....you might come to accept it, but you will always miss him...

:beer: :beer: :beer:

:beer: to better times.
 
I lost my 9 year old Brittany the same way to the same thing just about a year ago. Cancer kills more dogs than just about any other cause. The pain began to fade when we re-dogged. Just do it.
I am so very sorry about Jack, same name as my Brit.:frown:

Good Luck friend,

Ed
