Last Day with my Best Friend

[instymp]

Sorry for you & Humphrey, had a beagle named the same 60+ years ago. Had to do what you are going through tomorrow too many times & feel for you Bro. I am so selfish that I don't want another till I am sure he/she will out live me. They aren't dogs, they're family.

Bless all of you.

So sorry, my condolences. May you find him again in greener pastures.

 

[shaintiques]

Hate to hear that. Sorry for your loss.

 

[phred]

So sorry for your loss. He looks like a very happy dog - best to remember him that way.

I had not read that Kipling piece. I'll save a copy of it.
Cob, a raised pipe to you and Humphrey this evening. Good dogs are rare and always missed.

 

[pruss]

Truly sorry, my friend. Sending you strength, and a raised wee dram of whiskey. I'll snuggle my furry buddy extra close tonight.

You truly have my hearfelt sympathy, there is no love like the love of a dog. I know that no words of ours will even begin to heal your pain, but may your own strength of character to ease his pain give you some comfort tonight.

Last Day with my Best Friend

Such sad words. I'm truly sorry brother.

God Bless, It's always a terrible loss, a prayer for you both. I have always believed my beloved pets will be waiting for me when I pass to show me the way home...

What a magnificent elderly dog he is. And how grandly he has contributed to your life and shared his.

Maybe you can balance the sorrow, a little, with the joy of having had such a friend. After the absence

heals somewhat, he will always come back and often make you smile and even laugh. The four-legged

ones have a power we are shy about admitting. They are important and large in our lives, as they should

be.

Cob sir - I think most of us have been there. I really feel for your loss. More significantly - thank you for sharing with us here. It's nice to be reminded how there's real people behind all of these screen names. Real lives. Real feelings. Real emotions. And sometimes....real pain.
I admire the courage of your heartfelt post. What a great tribute to your friend this thread should become.

 

[carytobacco]

Sorry for your loss Cob. Hard to see family go.

 

[puffy]

I'm very sorry.My dog died a while back..I still miss her.All you can do is remember the love you shared.

Sorry to hear this but thanks for sharing Cobguy, it reminds me of my lunkheads (No! that's just something in my eye). I'm such a sap that when I got divorced 15 years ago I paid dog support every month until this day came a few years later.

I hope your day is better tomorrow.

Very sorry to hear it cobguy. My dog passed on back in March. I had her for the same length of time as yours...13+ years. I rescued her from the animal shelter back in early '01 when she was about 6 months old. She was an intelligent and keenly aware creature...and a dear friend...she'll always be missed. She struggled for a while, and I was very close to having to make the decision you're faced with, but she passed one night before it had to be done.
The important thing is, you gave Humphrey a good life.

Darin, my condolences.

 

[lonestar]

Man I hate to hear that...

 

[sdcowboy]

I've been there several times. You are giving Humphrey a great gift by being there when he passes. Dogs always give us unconditional love, and you are giving him the same.
Remember the happy times, and God bless both of you.

 

[klause]

I'm very sorry to hear this, Cobguy. But, I'm glad you are going to be there with him as he goes on his next journey - you are doing the right thing, something a best friend would do for his buddy.
I'll take my 2 friends for an extra long walk later and think of you both.
God bless you and Humphrey.
