Hated to but had to...

[QUOTE=Redline Gary;516085] My wife often says " I think you love that dog more then me" [/QUOTE]

We have a schnauzer Tara that I feel exactly the same way about. Oddly, we have the same conversation sometimes. The sad thing is she is/was the wife's dog and the dog is closer to me.

We just lost our 19 yr old cat last week. She'd been with us since about 3 months after we got married. I still expect to see her sleeping away in her bed-box when I come into our room.

[B]Sorry to hear of this..........

Ya, it's tuff, had to put down 3 between '97 and '02, but they all lived long lives, from 15 plus years to 17-1/2 years...........

Did get another puppy in '05, a Shepherd Mix, and such a sweetie she is too............

You'll get another one eventually, Dogs are truly Man's Best Friend...........[/B]

Our cat died at 17 and I know exactly what you mean. The next time I went to the grocery store after she died, I bought cat food out of habit. I didn't even have a cat......

sorry for your loss.

Thanks guys, I don't even want to go to the garage right now, cause theres no one to try to knock me over ;) grandson just got dropped off he's 2 first thing he said was bingo! (looking for the dog) oh well,.......

Very sorry to hear about your pup Robert. I know how hard it is to lose a close and loyal friend. Just remember that he isn't hurting anymore and he had a great life thanks to you and your family. Stay strong buddy.

As so many others have echoed, I too have been where you're at. Our dogs are like kids. And the loss of one is devastating ... especially when you have to put one down. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Bingo is in a better place now Robert .... yes .... I do believe dogs go to heaven.

Matt, I agree with you, I would find it very hard to believe that God who is merciful and caring who gave us these creatures for our enjoyment wouldn't look out for them after they pass on, I am looking forward to seeing him again.
Today is easier, went out back today with my grandson, the first time I've been back there since Sunday, and it was ok, of course my wife immediately proceeded to throw away the dogs toys, she wanted me to do it I had told her no it was to soon, so hey remember this guys when I die get down here two days later and clean out the garage but don't cheat her.

I got dibs on the lures!
