My Pipe Smoking Buddy is Gone

[WVOldFart]

It is a rough day in our household because my pipe smoking buddy has passed away. He was my four footed, hairy Lab mix who always laid at my feet while I smoked my pipe. He was with me constantly, but he lost his battle with Cushings disease. He enjoyed life up until the last week when things got really bad for him. The house doesn't seem the same without him and the cat dearly misses "her dog". She would groom him and rub up against him. I had my pipe with Iwan Ries Old Colonial and my coffee and just remembered all the good times I had with my "good boy."

I am so sorry to hear that. It is always a hard loss, but I am thankful to hear he did not suffer for too long. I will light a bowl up today in remembrance of your Lab.

What was his name?

Quincy was his name. He made it to 11 years old. The last 2 years he has had Cushings disease which didn't affect him too much. He was the kindest, sweetest dog you could think of and I feel blessed that he "picked" us.

Bet you gave him a great life. I will throw the ball for my hounds a few extra times today in his memory

Sorry for your loss. I know what it feels like as our first dog had Cushings too. Let's face it, they're family, that's all there is to it.

I've always said that if you don't treat your pets like members of the family, then perhaps you shouldn't have pets. IMHO

Ugh, my heart goes out to you, friend.

So sorry for your loss. Dogs are beloved creatures that have a very special bond with us, and it's heartbreaking when they pass.

I'm sorry for your loss. Personally, I much prefer most dogs that I've met to most people that I'm met. They are a superior species.

I told Quincy just before he died to find Max (our former German Shepherd) and Sherlock, Blue, Flash the wonder cat and all my past pets and when it's time for me to go to come and get me. I would rather spend my eternity with my former pets than most humans. Of course I want my loving, wonderful wife with me. She would prefer the pets to humans too.
