Picture of your pet thread !!!

All the comforting words I know & have spoken myself to others.
He was only 8 and yet was inextricably linked to me - I so looked forward to 4 or 5 more years with him.
I couldn't even go to the head or tend the garden without him sitting - watching - guarding (?).
My life is (more than) just a bit duller now.
RIP buddy.

Ordinarily he would be laying at my feet on his rug while I type - compulsively I look down hoping beyond hope that he's there & that it's just some twisted dream my brain made up.

*Sigh* - it's not to be.
That is so hard.

^^ this had me choking back a tear, I did the same thing with the last hound that I had to put down
 
I had to let my big boy go tonight.
2 weeks ago he suddenly began vomiting during dinner & couldn't hold anything down.
Testing followed by exploratory showed a softball x 2 sized tumor - we declined to wake him up from anesthesia.
Life sucks bad right now.

My best buddy.

Oh GWN I am so sorry that you lost a family member. My good thoughts go out to you and your wife.
 
@GreatwhiteNorth sorry to hear your news. There's never a good time to lose a pet. At least he is no longer suffering.

My best friend had a lovely mastiff but he got put down at 5 yrs old! It's no time at all really. Thoughts go out to you and the family.
It's fucked up.
The life expectancy on my french mastiffs is not that long. They are already 5 yrs old now too :-(
