338,
I was thinking that a strong indicator of good people is how much they love their dog.

Very, very sorry to hear, sir. I hate it when I learn of any good dog's passing, but these days it hurts maybe a little more when I see that it's a lab that has passed. We have two, a black and yellow, half sisters. They've brought more joy to my wife than she ever believed possible, and more really than any human has. Me too, truth be told. They're her first ever and learning how to raise them and train them from 7 and 8 week old pups, to then listen to her sing to them when she thinks no one is listening, talk to them, play with them and feed them and stroke them and hug on them, well, it about makes my heart melt.
Every now and then I try to have a few words with her in regards to their mortality and realistic lifespan. What I'm trying to do is gently and slowly prepare her to really understand that they will go, and far too soon. And when they do, it will hurt her heart as much as anything ever has in this life. I've literally told her that when our girls go, pieces of us will die with them. She has playfully said that she's going to have the world's oldest labs. I don't let her get away with that, as it's setting her up. I just want her to be realistic. Anyway, again, I'm sorry for your loss, man. Truly. All of us who've loved and lost our own know your pain all too well. May you cherish your sweet memories together always. He'll live in your heart forever.

Hate to hear it. Lost my walker hound a few years ago and the family schnauzer last year. The time we have with them is way too short.

Dogs aren’t like family. They are family.
It’s hard losing a best friend.
The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.
What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.

It's always hard to lose a pet you've had for that long.

Tough to lose a loyal best friend. Condolences to you.
Gonna be tough for a while, but you'll be okay.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.

But you know all too well you can never prepare your mind for that day the girls move on. Loving your dogs is to feel the greatest rewards and the harshest losses. I hope your dogs set new records on longevity and your wife experiences all the rewards.

I am sorry for your loss.
You both had a great life together.
It is hard losing a loved dog.
Many of us know the hollow feeling.
Threads like this get to me.

Hang in there, always very difficult as we grow so close to them.And they do as well.
But we don't want them to suffer as they give their best to us everyday.....
Had a yellow named Cody years ago myself.....
