Let's See Your Dogs!!

Like I said. You don't have to adopt, but just go and see the dogs and spend a little time with them and let them spend time with you. It's a win-win.

 

Jordan, I am truly sorry for your loss. As others have said, don't think about "having done the right thing". Deep down, you know that your sweet Oreo is still with you and always will be.

I have been there too many times (four of my sweet boys in the same number of years)
Courage and Kip in jst the last 16 months (the yellow and black labs in the foreground)


It is never an easy decision, but having the rest of my boys around me during during these times does help. All of mine are rescues, and I know it may not seem appropriate, I always provided a loving home for another within a couple of months. It helps the "pack" recover from the loss (the "pack" Iincludes my wife and myself) and it is wonderful knowinf that we are giving a loving home to a sweet baby that does not currently have one.

Stay strong my friend and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

 

I've rescued my last 4.... Best thing ever!! My 2 current guys Jackson and JIMBO.

 

Is that a blue weimarinar?

 

A great site for pet memorial stones. They do a great job and are customized for your pet. I used them and recommend them.

Jordan, their loss can never be summed up in words. It will get better, but never goes away, as it shouldn't. Just like Capt, we weren't looking. It was only about four months, and she came to us. She was adopted out, and returned. Like Capt again, their was a reason. We worked through it, and gave her the home she deserves. I feel fortunate everyday, that someone couldn't understand and work with her. Do what ever feels right, it helps you to grieve and heal. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

 

Thanks and thank you everyone else. It's a lot harder than I thought it would be and just being in the house bothers me. Trying to remember the good times and trying to relax. So much good advice on her though I'm glad I found this place.

 

For those of us lucky enough to have a pet share our lives, losing it is like losing a limb. You will never be the same without it, will always notice the loss, and will forever feel like it is still there. But the feelings will dull over time.
As time goes on, you will be able to remember Oreo fondly, without the acute pain of the loss.
As the saying goes, " Better to have loved and lost...."
Our thoughts are with you during this hard time brother.

 

I'm not ashamed to say I lose my shit completely EVERY SINGLE TIME! The only mitigating circumstance for me is I've had multiple dogs for so long now so there's good listeners to come home to.

 

Heartbreaking, RIP Oreo

My boy Doc. He is almost 7 months old now.

 

My puppies are definitely growing fast. Getting to that cute fluffy stage, and now eating puppy food. All those puppy food pellets were in their bowl, but they managed to scatter it all over.

 

This puppy is from our last litter.

 

Holy cow! What are you feeding them lol. They are growing like weeds. Makes me want another

Not sure if anyone here has a dog that get pancreatitis a lot but I have about $150 worth of animal enzymes left in package that we did not use. They are from "enzymes by Diane" if you look them up. This are what allowed Oreo to eat for the last while because they pre break up food so the pancreas can rest. Just thought I would throw it out there, they are free

 

Why I will always have two dogs. The one in the back got me through the loss of the pooch in the front, who passed 4 hours after this picture was taken.



The pooch in the back is now 12. Here he is now, with my GSP, who just turned 5 and will, no doubt, get me through the loss of the best dog I ever had, Bear, A Chesapeake, when his time comes.
