Sad days

Thanks Red
Yeah, there were some pretty "damp" eyes around here for a while.

Thanks SQWIB
Up until 6 years ago, I was never a dog person, Miss Linda has always been one. It never even crossed my mind that I might become so very attached to a dog.

Thanks Humdinger
Yeah, Miss Linda is getting the extra love. I asked her if she wanted to replace Addy and she said no. Said Addy was her second well loved dog that she put down. Still had Roxy to see to in the future, and since I'm 13 years older than her, she would probably have to put me down one of these days LOL. Said that was enough. Last night though, she mentioned that maybe we would look for a rescue dog (German Sheppard) about Roxy's age. All things ease with time.

Thanks DS
That's an interesting thought. Gonna keep that in mind for Roxy (and myself)

Hey inkjunkie
I'm not familiar with that book, but I'm going to try to find it. Both Miss Linda and I are big readers. Will let you know.

Thanks Joe
Until 6 years ago, I never had anything to do with dogs. It just boggles my mind to think about the huge part of my life they became. Miss Linda goes down to Calgary once a month (her Dad's in a Home) and when she would take the hounds with her, I would spend the entire time missing all 3 of them.

Gaaaaah! It must be the time of year or something. Just learned my neighbors are having to put their dog down tomorrow as well - degenerative nerve failure in his back. We all went over and spent about half an hour saying good bye to him, he used to love to come over and say hi to my kids when they were out front. Another pooch that will be very missed.... *sigh*

Johnny, spring is supposed to be a time of renewal, not death. Seems something is out of whack

So sorry to hear of the loss of 4 legged furbabies. I too have been down that road-we lost 2 Beagles last year. Last July I lost my good ol' bud Sir George, it was getting hard for him to go up and down the stairs and he would whimper in pain while he slept. Ma Dutch and meownself decided to have George put to sleep, while she was making the call to the Vet I sat on the floor with George's big ol' head in my lap scratching his neck under the collar which is always enjoyed. George's lifelong companion Lady Roxie was laying right next to him. About a half hour after Ma finished talking to the Vet, George lifted up his head, let out a couple barks and layed his head back in my lap and was gone. Two months later we lost Lady Roxie; we had taken her to the Vets a week before and he had given her a clean bill of health and was surprised that she was 14 years old. Roxie passed in her sleep, it must of been quiet cuz Ma didn't hear a sound out of her. Ma woke me when she got up to go to work to let me know that Roxie was gone.

We still have our other Beagle Kobie, he's a Rescue pup and was about 2 when we adopted him. He's about 9 now. We have a Welsh Pembroke Corgi Mollie that turned 4 in May. She had a bad habit of chasing her former owner's chickens to the point that they would drop from exhaustion. Mollie couldn't learn the difference between "herding" and "chasing".

Sorry for your losses. I know we're close to walking that walk with our rat terrier (he's 15 and starting to have serious mobility issues) and I'm not looking forward to it at all. Never thought I'd like little dogs (love my German Shepherds) but rat terriers are something else entirely. I've never had a smarter dog and doubt I will again, even considering the retired K9s and K9 pups that have found their way to my house over the years.

Sad, Dutch, but at least they got to die at home with people they loved

Yeah, unfortunately they all get up in years, and we miss them sorely
