RIP Harley. Beautiful dog.

And yes, lost one two years ago. Had to be put her to sleep because of medical issues. Very painful. Took six months but I finally got another dog (rescue). Helps a lot.

I'm sorry for your loss, and to all who have lost a family member/dog under these circumstances. But life goes on. You are clearly a good guy and good dog owner, and I can only suggest getting a new dog soon. It will help you, and you will help them. I lost my Chocolate Lab Barbara after thirteen years, I stubbornly refused to get a new dog for 7 years. I can honestly say that was a mistake. My two dogs now play such a role in my life, and mine in theirs. Sorry again for your loss, but you'll see Harley again. Godspeed.

Sorry about you losing your buddy man.


I lost one this year. He was 14. Chihuahua. All white.

Loved that dog. He was having what looked to be seizures, but it was syncope-spelling? His heart just could not take it anymore.

He had one bad episode where he couldn't walk or stand. I rushed him to the vet -ER. Vet ran some tests on him and he stayed over night. The vet called me the next morning while they were running a test, and while I was on the phone with her, someone ran in there and said he passed away.
$600+ for one night in the vet.

But he brought so much more to the world that you just couldn't put a price on...still miss him. It will get better. But my other 3 dogs miss him like crazy.

I feel your pain. I lost my roommate/dog golden retriever just a few days before Christmas many years ago. Was home at my parents for the holidays and, after being let out for the morning he apparently roamed all the way to the highway. We had no idea he would go that far. I was angry about it for a long time. Oddly, was one of the worst losses I had experienced at the time. He was the best buddy.

Had to put down our German Shepherd named King almost 3 years ago due to acute pancreatitis and organ failure. Me, my wife and both our sons dug his grave, my sons put in his favorite toy and his bowl full of food and we all took turns covering him up. One of the saddest moments I've ever had. Long live the King.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. My Harley was a Golden Retriever who died of cancer 2.5 years ago and I still cry. We've lost several dogs over the years and it is heartbreaking. I feel for you.

Sorry for your loss. My brother is having to bring his dog he's had for 15 years to the vet today to see if she needs to be put down. She's a good dog. It sucks.

I got a catahoula lab mix when I was 17, his name was Buck. I trained him to track deer blood and spend all my free time with him to get him trained right and be obedient. I had him out in the yard one day and one of my other labs was in heat, it sent him into a frenzy looking for her (had them separated so we wouldnt have anymore puppies) he ran across the street to look for her but on his way back to our yard ole Buck Futter got hit by a truck pulling a trailer right infront of me, Guy never tapped the breaks or stopped to check on Buck. I watched my best dog Ive ever had get tossed around under the trailer, I ran out and got him out from the street and tried to comfort him. He looked up at me one last time, blood pouring out his mouth and nose flicked his tail and went limp and died in my arms. Took a long time to get over that, but I eventually did.
