I'm so sorry for your loss. We have a yellow lab that is 12-1/2 years old and I dread that day. Our girl is like yours, the best dog you could ask for. You'll meet again on the Rainbow Bridge.

Man, that sucks and is such a gut wrenching thing to do. I've had to do that twice before, both were excellent goldens with great personalities. I don't think it gets any easier and I cherish the time I have with Cosmo!

Thanx everybody for your thoughts and well wishes. I really enjoy the community here which is why i posted.

Mods, i realized this morning i put this in the wrong thread area, please feel free to move,

Godspeed to her Mike. Sorry for your loss. Dogs are special people. When I put my yellow down a couple years ago, the vet told me that while it's extremely hard to do so, it's our duty as their friend and caretaker to know when it's time and to make the transition as comfortable as possible. My best to your family.

After we lost Gizmo, our Chocolate Lab, there hasn't been another dog in our lives. He was 14 when he passed in the night, 5yrs ago. I've owned a lot of great dogs but he was unmatched.
Very sorry for your loss, Mike.

So sorry to hear Mike!

As you know - we have TWO Chocolates and they are, as you've pointed out -- the sweetest ever.

We had two Beagles - a brother and sister - 16 years... "I" said -- NO MORE DOGS!!

Then Gwen showed up with Stella....

My point? Give it a bit - and then share your love with a new best friend.

Sorry to hear this. My pit bull Ceaser passed away in October of last year to cancer and man did it hurt. I had him since he was a pup and picked him out of the litter myself about a week after he was born in 2004. He was 13. I never forget the dat I brough him home, my wife was so mad and the next thing you know...he became her dog and the two were inseparable.

Sorry Mike!

Condolences.....................it's the absolute toughest decision one has ever had to make. The years of companionship pay dividends beyond compare. It's impossible not to be hurt, and perhaps a bit selfish.

My thoughts are with you and your family

Tim

Best thoughts Mike!
