re: Who Here Has Dealt With Pet Loss?

Who hasn't?

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.

sorry for your loss, put my 13 year old boxer down last June. June 8th to be exact, never will forget him. But it gets better! I think having other dogs at home back it a little better.


I would get another dog within a few months. We got a boxer within 3 months, which I thought it would take my wife a lot longer, but it does make it a little easier

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.
