Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Lost a great dog today.

Very sorry to hear about your boy. There really isn't anything like having or losing a great dog. My GSP Roxy just turned 15 in Feb. She's doing great for such an old dog but she's OLD! Glad you have so many dogs to enjoy from him, that's about the only comfort you can find at a time like this......

Please post some pics when you can, I'd love to see him.

Shy of family and close friends...losing dogs is the absolute worst.
God, I hate it.

Sorry for your loss. I have been there and dread the day when my next one "crosses over". Hang tough and thank God for the time spent together.

But, we always want another dog.

Our male dog has been going blind for about 4 years and Saturday between 1:30 and 12:00 he lost it all.

Since that time he does not walk,just laying in the same spot.

He has gone to the water bowl 2 times since it went.

I told the wife that when these 2 die i want no more.

I have had to put down to many of them in my years and even now could do it but i am just tired of them making me do it.

She is getting ahold of the vet tomorrow,so we will see.

I hate it because i like them.

To add he has been deaf for a year or so,he also has not eaten anything since Sat.,not even his favorite biscuit.

Diesel I know of what you speak, still treasure ‘hunting’ and time spent in the woods, but no longer care to kill.

Nebraska, I will try to get a decent pic up of Remmy.

Plainsman, how old is your dog? We had a male that was partially blind from birth. We never knew he was blind until he was in the vets for something else. We were shocked. A nine-year-old female we have has cataracts and does really well. They adapt and your guy may do so too. Give him some time to adjust. If he is really old, he may have other issues. Hope he comes around.

My mother's dog was developing really bad cataracts and she paid to have one eye fixed. The other is still cloudy as can be, but the pup gets along great with just the one headlight. He's happy.

My condolences, lost my GWP two years ago and still not over it. They are way better than most humans!!! Make sure you keep one of his off spring for yourself, some kind of connection. Bill. 🐾👣🐾👣🇨🇦

Remmy in better days

Some of the staff at one of our veterinary clinic have his pups. They were all in tears when we brought him in. He was well known. We had lots of offers for him.

We have three of his offspring now.

"Good night, sweet prince. And flights of angels sing thee to thy rest."

Rip Remmy,you are in a better place now.

I have loved all my dogs,but Goldens grab my heart.Just the best disposition of any dog that was part of our family.

Sorry for your loss OP.

sorry for your lose , to me a dog or even a cat are a family member ,a dog is always happy to see us .

My Sincerest condolences. The loss of a good faithful companion is excruciating. I suffer every time I have to bury a buddy, but I always have to have another. I NEED a dog with me. They are better than us. The pain of the grief is the price of unconditional love.

He is 16 years old.

His half sister is the same age give a week or so.

Grizz has an appointment Friday at the Vet.to see how bad things are inside.

Mywife came home from work that day early so i knew something was up.

She walked both of them around the car and they were a sight.

I got them in the house and took off my shirt and let them lay on it so they would know my smell.

I like both but it just gets hard to watch over the years when things go wrong and i was the one called on to fix the problem.

I have had to do in horses,dogs and some of the dogs were ones that folks in town just dropped in the country,most were going after the cows.

I would have rather gotten the folks that dropped them off.

When one has a animal for 15-16 years it hurts when something happens.

Thanks and will let folks know what the vet says.

Very sorry to hear the bad news on our best friends guys, two or four legged or family. They are all a wonderful and loved irreplaceable part of what makes our lives worth living.

Diesel - So sorry for the loss of Remmy. We have lost 4 in the last 6 or 7 years . . . It hurts every time, but I know they will be as happy to see me as I will be to see them when we meet again at the bridge.

We had to say goodbye to a good one this morning. A mini Schnauzer with a prominent under-bite and about 18 pounds. He was always full of energy. He will be missed and remembered for a long, long while. We rescued him from a family with 2 young girls just over 12 years ago. The father advertised for someone to give him a home before the youngest girl killed him. My bride is convinced she (the youngest girl) was/is pure evil.
