I am bringing my 13 year old hunting buddy to the vet for the last time.

Man, we sure shared some adventures together.

For some reason, this one is triggering more allergies

Not a dog owner. My brother is. Sure is hard on him when he has to say good bye.

Been down that road 8 times. Never gets easy. I'll drink a toast for you tonight.

When I get to the Rainbow Bridge, I am gonna get mauled.

Every time someone brings this up it makes me shed a tear. And then I think how lucky I was to of had some pretty good dogs throughout my life.

It does suck.

Can't look at a puppy and not see what the end will do to me again.

Where I live now would not be good for raising a dog so we are not going down that road again.

Me, too, me too. My current bud is now 11, and he treed a coon for me on Wednesday. Didn't come out of his kennel until noon today...... I've got a spot picked out for him on the farm where he can look out over where he used to chase coons, birds, cats and hang out with me. There'll be no trip to the vet, it'll be just him and I. I owe him that. But it will gut me for at least a week.

Sorry to hear. Those are pretty low days. Give it a day or 2 and bring out some pics that show the good times.

My dogs are getting old.
God I dread that day.
