I can't take much more of this.......

<p>As many of you know, my Dad passed away on the 9th. Well today there is more sadness for me, as we had to put my best friend in my avatar to sleep. He'dbeen sick for a while now, and the vets couldn't figure anything out, and today he had either a seizure or a heart attack, while in my arms. He looked sosad, he even had tears in his eyes when whatever happend had passed! This is when I realized he was probably suffering, and what needed to be done. ButI'll tell you, right now I'm feeling really bad...........<br><br>I'm really gonna miss you my friend.......<br><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/hanfam65/000_1393.jpg" alt="image"><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v681/hanfam65/000_0075.jpg" alt="image"></p>

I'm sad to hear of your friends passing. I lost my 15 yr old black lab last Feb, so I know how you feel. My wife actually gave him to me, to help getover my father's passing.<br><br>Hang in there Russ, time will help the hurt. Soon you will be smiling, reminiscing the good times you had together.<br><br>~Joe<br>

<p>It's so tough! After my sidekick Casey, a Golden, looked at me one day after falling 6"! off my deck one too many times, I knew he had had enough.He was 3 months shy of 16, Muscular Degeneration the Vet said. I miss him to this day! (about 8 yrs now)I'm so sorry for both your losses. No words ofwisdom from me.<br><img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_hippie.gif" width="20" alt="image">Later, Steve</p>

The last time I ever saw my dog he was happily following the Vetinto the examination room. Some hours later I got the call I'll never forget. I feel for ya big time! Bad things come in 3s, so after sitting in your housewith no power for days, then losing your Dad, then losing your dog, maybe things can only get a bit better, and they will! You just get numb after a while.<br><p>Andy<img height="15" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/pacman.gif" width="15" alt="image"><br></p>

Wow Russ a lot of bad losses lately. I feel for you man it really hurts. On the bright side though with all this bad hitting and hurting you that just means alot of GOOD to make up for the losses. So hopefully this will be the last sad post from ya buddy. Think of the good times as others have said and it will makeit easier. Take care my friend and don't lose hope there's ups and there's downs all throughout life and this just happens to be a down followedsoon by a huge upward lifting.

So sorry for your losses. Our thoughts are with you.

So sorry to hear of this Russ, hang in there my friend...Joe. <img height="20" src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_hippie.gif" width="20" alt="image"><p><br></p>

Nothing leaves a hole in us like the loss of a faithful companion. Nothing can fill such a hole. Just try to remember your friend as he was during your besttimes together, let the tears come, and know that this too shall pass.<br><br>Many condolences and sympathies to you.<br><br><img src="http://www.ezboard.com/image/posticons/pi_heartbeating.gif">

Whew....... This stuff rips me up.... So sorry for you. When it's time get a puppy, or an older dog rescue and start all over again, it won't fill thehole, but it WILL keep you busy!!! HJ went through the same thing and he got a new pup!

Sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. I grew up<br>with animals all my life, and these little angels are like family.<br>A good idea to help you through this tough time in your life<br>is to get another animal maybe similar to your pet when you feel<br>the time is right.<br>Again, sorry for your loss,<br><br>-FabFaux-<br>

<strong>I feel your grief right now after reading and seeing the pics of your special pup. I lost my dad too at 84 in 2004 and then my best friend of 12 yearsin 2007 to bone cancer, she is still thought of every day and missed deeply. The wounds will heal in time, we never forget our love ones. My thoughts are withyou and your family.<img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/tired.gif" alt="image"><br><br>J~<br></strong><img height="25" src="http://redlinesonlinemessageboard.yuku.com/domain/bypass/images/grouphug.gif" width="41" alt="image"><br><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v129/redlineman/Banner_Misty.jpg" alt="image"><br></p>
