We just had our beloved 12 year old German shorthaired pointer put to sleep. She's the dog in my avatar pic with my 3 year old son. Poor puppy was in end stage lymphoma and went downhill very very quickly. There was nothing we could do. I had my friend who is a vet come to our house today to put our dog Recchi out of her misery. I just miss her so much. My daughter who is 7 is having a very difficult time with this. We just got done burying her and are trying to imagine life without our sweet girl.

Sleep well sweet girl. We miss you more than anything.

Sorry, just had to vent. Thanks for listening.

Lisa

    You just lost your best friend.

    Its a horrible feeling to be without your companion.

    Take time.

    The sadness will soon pass and all that will be left and the happy memories.

    Seems like cancer kills just about everything these days. I'm saddened you lost your dog. Seems to me she had to have had an excellent 12 years, since you love her so much.

    My sympathy. Anyone who has not had a pet just doesn't understand. Our shepherd mix died unexpectedly 18 years ago and I still miss him. It does get easier, hang it there.

    Sorry for your loss. There is nothing worse than losing a loved one - even if they are 4 legged and a little hairy.

    Know that time does make the hurt a little easier, I promise it does. Remember the good times. Cancer really sucks.

    I'm really just so sorry for your loss Lisa.....its so much more then just losing a 'pet'.

    Our sweet girl has been gone 3 years in Oct and we still miss her! Your house will seem empty for a long while...or at least ours did. About a year in a half later we decided to get another pup, but its not the same. & man does it make us feel bad when we hollar the wrong name at her :ohwell:

    Take care & time...you & your family are in my thoughts & prayers.

    I'm sorry for your loss, but you could have tacked that on to the last thread you started about your dog instead of starting a new one. :flowerforyou:

    Yes, losing a pet is tough. Hope you feel better soon.

    My dog is probably the most important thing in my life. Cats can be great, but they are not a dog. I know some people wouldn't agree, but to me only a dog give truly unconditional love. Sorry for your terrible loss. Know that your buddy had a great life. Don't wait to long... get another dog... not to replace, but to move forward.
