Awesome dogs / Crazy pets Thread

[Trimley]

Thanks everyone who've been through these times. Oogie was my dog 8-9 years ago when he was a small puppy. My daughter and him got very attached. My daughter and Oogie grew to be special friends. Their bond grew, and I knew they were meant to be. I kind of gave up the reins, so to speak to let them grow. He was special. A real people dog, loyal to his keeper. Oogie helped my daughter get through a miscarriage. He was great sensing her feelings, and was always by her side. Oogie loved when I come to visit, and always wanted my attention...which I enjoyed that a lot...because he never forgot, me.

Apologies for being long in tooth. My wife and I have had MANY GREAT Pets that have made their way passing. It's very hard to endure. At a time, we had ten Pugs as pets. That was flat crazy times I tell ya!

Thanks again for your condolences.

Sorry to hear about your loss Trimley. They are 'one of the family'.

After having outlived many 4 legged family members over 60 plus years, I know how hard it is. Take solace in knowing what a great life you provided for your pet. sorry for your loss.

Finally to the point of f welcoming in a new pup to the homestead. This is Denali. A bit unsure about this new place but give him time.

Saw momma drive by while we were out for a walk. He knew she was leaving. When she passes going home, it's an all out sprint to get there. It's like he was waiting for her to come back.

He has great facial markings!

Thanks. He was found wandering with his sister about 8 weeks ago. She was adopted and he stayed behind just trying to hide from the world. Amazing what less than a day has done as he starts to relax and trust again. I’ll definitely be going down next week to finalize the adoption. No way I can take him back there.

Yeah they are wonderful things to have around, I miss my beagle, but wont get another one, its almost like loosing a kid when they go, and Im to old to go through training another one. They say man is entitled to one good dog and one good woman in his life I've had 2 good dogs still wondering about where the woman is

Your right, we just put down my wife's German Shorthaired Pointer because of kidney disease. She was 15 1/2 and was my dogs daughter so between the 2 we had them for over 18 years. We also had our sons dog for a few years, so in the last 5 years we have put down 3 dogs. The last one ( the baby) was the hardest, we had said for quite awhile that she would be the last. Digging a whole and then playing with her one last time was MIGHTY hard.

I remember you mentioning something about him a few weeks ago. It is always difficult to say goodbye. My condolences to you and your family on you loss of your best friend. I know your pain all too well.

These are always the saddest posts, I'm sorry dirtydeed. Nothing I can offer other than: the memories Dakota gave you will always stay, and time helps. 12 years is a great life for most dogs. But the loss of a friend still hurts.

I have a similar experience with our pooch. If momma passes headed for the house, I get dragged home

 

[RCW]

So true - hurts like hell.

My most sincere condolences @dirtydeed

I also remember you saying he was having some issues, and you guys were always together.

So difficult losing your buddy.…

Hang strong….

I'm sorry for your loss, always tough losing a family member.

 

[Bmyers]

Sorry to hear of your lose. They bring such great joy, but can also cause such great pain. Thankfully, with time we remember the joy and the pain fades.

 

[ctfjr]

sorry dirtydeed - hope you can just remember the great times you had together.

 

[dirtydeed]

Thanks all for the well wishes. It was an agonizing day today without him at my side. I keep looking for him everywhere.

I am sorry for your loss. You have my sympathy. I certainly don’t have the words or know the correct thing to say. There is never a good time…for me it’s maybe a little harder around holidays…I’ve been through quite a few over the years and unfortunately I even lost one a day or two before Christmas two years in a row…that just sucks. Do your best. I am sure your buddy was glad to have to you.

Ugh. I know the feeling. I had to put down a chocolate lab on Christmas morning (emergency). I've hated Christmas ever since, and always will.
