Crap ass day. Let my best buddy go today. He had stage 5 Lymphoma, it was in his liver and lymph nodes. He was good and all of the sudden 2 weeks ago he just went south fast. F***!

My condolences. Take solace in knowing you gave him a good home, much love and a kind hand to pet him.

So sorry for your loss tango, I've lost many over my lifetime and although it hurts my heart the memories of my dogs are with me forever.

Thanks for the condolences. Such a good buy, he loved meeting people and belly rubs were an immediate requirement upon meeting him.

So very sorry. Dogs are the very best people!

Horses are kinda cute, too. And cows? Hope you enjoy this.

She's about as large as the horse's head. Adorable.

That's what I noticed also. My wife and her sister had horses when they were kids and raced them in Barrel(I think that's what they are called) shows. She's 5'4" now, I'm guessing she looked about the same as that girl. lol

Dang, I just lost my dog also... she was 15 1/2 human years... the vet said she was going to die a year and a half ago. Just enjoy every day with them...

On a happier note, I'll see if I can get a picture of my sister. She has a doberman rescue dog. She hooks him up to a harness on a 3 wheeled bike and he pulls her. I've clocked them at over 20mph!

Mines getting up there in age too, god I just can't imagine the day I have to put her down. She's so good. Always ready to play, in her mind she's still a puppy, but I can tell she's slowing down. Went out to the lake last week and she didn't want to swim after about 3 or 4 tosses of the stick. Used to be she'd do it for as long I'd keep throwing it. A little stiff too now when she first gets up.

I just keep feeding her the best food there is and remain constantly vigilant when she's outside playing in a new area. No drinking out of puddles or rooting around for something that might taste good like they all like to do. She's always sniffing things.

That's what I did also. I tried different things and watched her. Real meat (not canned) was a one part of her feeling as good as she could. My family said she was eating better than we were... LOL ...whatever it takes...
Someone said a dog gives you their whole heart, and every time we lose one, we lose a part of ours... but eventually our heart is completely replaced by the love of all those dog hearts.
Don't know that I am saying that quite right, but you get the drift.
