Gold Finger in short that sucks I would sooner give up my wife than my dog
Just remeber this quote "the more people I meet the more I like my dog" Tell me this is not true
keep in mind that your pup will be forever hanging her head out the rear window of the big CRUISER in doggie heaven drooling down the side of it!

Time heals all
 
Sad to hear that, and my best wishes go out to you during a difficult time. Had to put down my german sheppard I grew up with as a kid due to arthritis. Not an easy thing to do, but better than the suffering. You did the right thing, difficult but the right thing.......Hang in there,
 
A good dog never dies he always stays he walks besides you on crisp autumn days when frost is on the fields and winter's drawing near, his head is within our hand in his old way.

Sorry to hear about your loss. :frown:

I am a dog person, but my wife is not. And having no dog but several cats of my sister's around had made my kids like cats and be afraid of dogs.

But since our recent move we get to be around my folk's dog all the time and that has helped (me) convert my kids to dog kids (sort of...).

It's never fun losing anything or anyone you love, especially if it's your pet.

Do you have any other dogs/pets? Maybe not appropriate to ask at this time, but do you plan on getting any more/another dog(s) in the future?

Sorry again. :frown:

Mot I do not have any other pets but I have a 9month old daughter. I miss my Dogs and it is so painful I do not know if I could ever have another Dog but I now that time heals things so perhaps I will in time they are kind of special and I am very much a dog person.

That is a lovely sentiment.
 
I am very sorry for your loss.
I had a boxer die about 2 years ago
and I still think about what a good dog she was.
I hope your loss gets easier for you and your family
after a little time goes by.
Best wishes.
 
I just got back from the hospital. My dog looks bad. They can't figure out what's wrong with him. They can't tell us if it's something that can be cured. They say it looks like an infection. Something anti-biotics can fix. The hospital bills are killing us, but I don't want to give up on him because of that. If they could just tell us what he needs so we can make a decision.

and I have to go out of town tomorrow on a pretty pointless trip for a couple of students. I don't want to have to do this over the phone.

man, this blows...
 
The Rainbow Bridge

Gold Finger,

Sorry to tune in so late on this thread, I have been out of town. :frown:

A good friend shared this with me a while back when I neede it, now I will share it with you:

THE RAINBOW BRIDGE

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the "Rainbow Bridge" because of its many colors. Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills, and valleys with lush green grass.

When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place. There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.

There is only one thing missing; they are not with their special person who loved them on Earth. So, each day they run and play until the day comes when one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!

You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him/her in your arms and embrace. Your face is kissed again, again, and again and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated.


Wow, reading this always gets me... :crybaby:

I hope Nell is playing with my puppies, Bonnie and Haans. I lost them within 10 weeks of each other (Haans followed Bonnie wherever she went). When I think back on that time, I feel sorry for my wife, because I was in such a foul mood...


Best of luck Gold Finger.

Sorry to hear that Gumby.

One other sentiment that is nice to think about - (and this is taken from somewhere I was reading after my recent loss)

your heart will always bear the imprint of your dog's loving paw. Likewise, your doggie will bear your handprint on his/her heart forever.

Gus, the one in the backgroud was put down yesterday evening. It looks like he probably had intestinal cancer. I had to be out of town with some students at a competition. My wife sat with him through the procedure.

I am so very sorry to here this it is an awful thing to go through and I feel for you. We had the vet come over to the house as Nell would not have stood the journey especially as cars freaked here so much we think due her first owner. When your dog is ill you do all that you can to put things right for them but in the end we have to make the decision which is a balance, I am sure it was the right thing to do not to let them suffer though it is such terribly hard thing to do. Good luck
 
Man, I really hate these threads. I always get choked up and teary. I love my damn pooch so much, even if he is a bonehead. He's just such a big pile of love/energy/fur. I know one day I'll have to do the brave thing for him, and I hate the thought of it. I don't know what I'll do when that time comes.


Here's to long walks on dirt trails!

Gumby I am sorry I have just got in and read the thread from the back and posted for your last entry. I would have given any thing to save my dogs and my other Wolfhound cost a fortune in vet bills it put us in debt and I still felt guilty that some how I had let him down and maybe if I had more money or got on top of things and diagnosed things quicker and the same with Nell but you just can not sustain that amount of self punishment and with time things will ease little bit by bit. It makes you so frustrated and helpless when they are ill they can not tell you what is wrong.

It still hurts after all the years and the place seems so empy now, there is no nose on the window or rush to meet you on the drive.
