Really, really, sorry Scott. We had to put our blue heeler to sleep this past Monday. We had her 15 years. It sure hurts I know. My wife is still crying.

I know the pain you are feeling all too well Scott, it will never really go away but it will subside over time. You gave Mick a great home and treated him like family which is way more than the previous family ever did. He was lucky to have you as his master and vice versa.
R.I.P. Mick.
That's ok, I'll ass shoot a dink.

I think the best thing you can do for Mick is give another poor soul the same loving home you gave to him.

I feel you pain Scott, we lost our Norman, two months ago.I still look for him as I come down the stairs, in the morning.

Ohhh Scott I'm sorry to hear that....my little girl will be too. She thought he was a great looking pup.
I hope your wife is taking it ok, we just lost our Dog too and I know how much we love our pets and how tough it is to lose them. All my best to you both.

� I hate these threads because they cause pain all over again...but that's life and just the way it is.
So sorry you lost such a good friend. I hate them too. I have read bunches of these over the years and hated every one including this one. Along with acquiring a dog inevitably comes the knowledge that it'll probably die before we do. That certainty of down-the-road grief was why Dad didn't like to see us bring a new dog into our home. The loss tears into us no less than it would if we didn't already know that it'd come some day. I've seen (as a teen-ager) a car tire mash one of our beloved dogs' head flat, and I've had (as an old man) one look up at me as if it were apologizing for leaving me alone as it died in my arms. I can't imagine how anyone could take such an experience "in stride," and I can't imagine any way that anybody could eliminate the torment.
"Good enough" isn't.

We may be reaching the age when we will be apologizing to the dog my friend.

With a great deal of effort, I get down on the floor and frolic with my friend Rick's little dog. And with appreciably greater effort hoist myself back up into my recliner, all "wo' out." With any luck, I won't have to worry about the recliner, and the Charioteer will hoist me even higher. Dang! Wouldn't that ever puzzle Chico!

Sorry for your loss. The only bad thing about dogs is that they don't live long enough.

Sorry Scott, looks like y'all worked him hard what with all that helping.
A government is the most dangerous threat to man�s rights: it holds a legal monopoly on the use of physical force against legally disarmed victims.
