I really appreciate all the support, thank you all. It was a rough night last night. I miss her so much. Seeing her go was devastating. I was holding her till til the end. She was laid to rest with her favorite ball under a beautiful mesquite in the space I reserved for her years ago next to six other great dogs. I can barely see through the tears to write this. My hear is broken.
The end of the road, the end of an era, saying goodbye.

I’m sure it was more comfortable for her that you were there with her. You did the right thing, as painful as it was.
Hell, I cried reading these posts. If you can bring yourself to it, I would suggest another dog. Labs are great. Again, sorry for your pain.Comment

I miss my old girl badly and it hurts. I know what’s done is done and I’ll never be happy about it. There is a huge void in my life right now. The pain is still there but a little less than it was. I’m coping with this as best I can. This one hit me hard, no doubt. Although I don’t know all who have posted personally, our little community quite amazing and I really appreciate all the support and well wishes. Thank you all!
Some of you may recall that I mentioned that my old girl accepted a doodle puppy as her own when she was 10. Well that doodle isn’t a puppy anymore. And she’s still here. She will never be the dog my old girl was, but she’s a great dog in her own right. She knew something was wrong and that things were changing. She still looks for her friend, but knows something has changed. She’s still adjusting too. I’m sure she will slowly grow into her new roll, but she has some really big paw prints to fill. Somehow we’ll make it work and life will go on,
Lots of great memories will allow me to keep my old girl with me forever in my heart……I do stuff !Comment

Sorry to hear that you are still struggling. We lost one during the COVID lockdown and it hit me really hard too, and against my wife’s wishes, we got two more (Yorkies) and they helped fill the void. I’m sure your doodle is missing her as well and you may consider getting another pup.Comment

I LOVED YOU BEST
So this is where we part, My Friend,
and you'll run on, around the bend,
gone from sight, but not from mind,
new pleasures there you'll surely find.
I will go on, I'll find the strength,
life measures quality, not its length.
One long embrace before you leave,
share one last look, before I grieve.
There are others, that much is true,
but they be they, and they aren't you.
And I, fair, impartial, or so I thought,
will remember well all you've taught.
Your place I'll hold, you will be missed,
the fur I stroked, the nose I kissed.
And as you journey to your final rest,
take with you this...I loved you best.
Sure am sorry you lost your friend.Life its too short to own ugly handguns and drink fruity whiskey.Comment
