Lost a Damn Good Dog Today

[johnston]

Thanks for the good words guys.'Ol Cole was really my wife's dog but we were
tight also. Wife took off 2 days from work to try and get a grip. But it will be a while
before she can open the door and not expect to see that old fool waiting for her.

I feel for you.   A pet's love is truly unconditional and impossible to replace.

I had to put my Lab down a few years ago.  She was a gamer but arthritus  was just to bad.
My vet sent me a card and I pass the words on to you Lane:  You are one of the brave hearts that love things with a shorter lifespan than yourself.   It is hard to remember the day you get a puppy, but the hard day si coming.
Best tonic I know is another cold nose and wagging tail.
I feel for you.

I'm real sorry Lane.  There is nothing like the love a good dog has for you.  I lost one that was truly my best friend about fifteen years ago.  I hung her collar on my gunrack where it still hangs now.  I said I wouldn't put myself through the pain of losing another one, so I didn't have a dog for years.  My wife bought herself a dog, which instantly bonded with me and now LIFE IS GOOD AGAIN.  I have a new little friend (actually 3!) and it is worth risking the pain.    Don't put it off.  Get you another one soon.  We got rescue shelter dogs and I swear nothing loves you like a dog whose life you save.

Jesus, I hate that. I been there too many times in the past 5 years. I still hate feeding the rest cause there's one less bowl. I guess thats the price we pay for owning animals though. I'm sorry,  .

We often forget to tell our loved ones daily that we love them.  A lesson we could all do well to learn from out dogs.
