So tough loosing a good friend like Max, Belle, Chessy, and the others. I've lost Lady Dog, JB, Toby, Glory, and Missy. Old Rue will be with us a few more years.

Condolences sir. One of the toughest things I ever did was bury my Chessy and she only made 11. Lucy was a good girl! Her and Maggie are patrolling the flooded rice together!

Sorry to hear that. We buried a max of our own this winter; a chocolate lab that’d been in our family for 8 yrs and who’d helped my son a lot. What amazing friends dogs can be! What a loss when they’re gone...

Good man. Tough duty. Hard losses.
We raise goldens and have seven adults. All within 4 years apart. Gonna be tough at some point if I live long enough. I hope I do so they won't think I abandoned them.

Sad news but 16 yrs is a good run.
I have a Max that's 9, will hate to see him go when it's time.
They should live longer.
Good boy Max.

There’s some unpleasant deeds that have to be done in a man’s life, this ranks up there.
Hope you find a good companion for your dad Roger

We don't really outlive a good dog, when they die a whole era in our lives goes with them.

So sorry to hear this. It is hard, really hard, to lose a member of the family. We've lost 3 in the last 2 years. We had to put down 2 - one was 13 and the other almost 18. Those hurt, too. But the hardest one was the one who ventured out on her own the end of March this year . . . got hit by a car. She was only 5 and I still tear up several times a day thinking of her. It IS getting better, but not much . . . Hell, I still tear up about my Chessie and he's been gone since 1985. Guess I'm just becoming a sentimental old fool  . Condolences to you and your dad . . . You are a good son. Good dog, Max . . .
Someday I hope to be the person my dogs think I am . . .
