Damn, bubba. Sorry to hear that. I'm not a dog person myself, but as an old duck hunter I definitely do get it. 
Smoke A Bowl For Wilson

Thanks for having the courage and mercy to do the right thing and sorry for your loss. My 15 year old Shitzu was at my side the entire time I was in isolation for the virus. She made the 17 1/2 drive to Florida with me yesterday. She probably doesn't have a lot more time here and it will hurt a ton. Few things in life are better than a canine companion.
Very sorry to hear that. Their biggest shortcoming is that they are only around for such a brief time.
It's tough losing a dog. I had a pit bull named Capone. I got him when he was 6 weeks old and I was 16. I had to put him down 2 weeks before his 16th birthday. He was my dog as a teenager, when I got married and had kids he was the family dog. Condolences on your loss.
Sorry to hear of Wison's death, and am smoking a nice bowl in his honor, with my fine friend Hector Labrador asleep near my chair.
I’m dogless right now. I’ve been with dogs most of my life and they are definitely like family......... I wish you comfort in this time, I know what it’s like........?
Very, very sorry to hear that. The loss of a good companion, regardless of species, even when it's not mine always hits me.
So sorry to hear this. Dogs are amazing creatures, and truly family members. I still grieve for both of the dogs my wife and I have lost, the most recent being Ciera the sheltie, who died in 2016 and was my special girl. Thinking of you in this difficult time.
I don't have any dogs but I just recently had to put my 19 year old cat to sleep and it was the hardest thing I've ever done. I feel your pain. And I will smoke a bowl in honor of Wilson.
What a gorgeous looking dog. Sorely missed, I'm sure.
Off topic, did you buy yourself a home here in Florida, Hoosier? I know that you were looking.
Sad times for sure. It's never nice to hear of such things. My heart goes out to you all.
I will of course smoke a bowl in he's memory.

So sorry for your loss. It hurts when we lose a pooch, especially a hunting dog. Brittany’s are great hunters. I hunt with a friend who has two. They’re grouse dogs and damn good ones. It’s rare to see a good grouse dog. They don’t come around very often.
Yes, in Sarasota. We'll have to meet sometime.
I'm so sorry! We are Brittany fans here as well. My daughter's Brit is one year old, and he was diagnosed with heart worms a few weeks ago. He has started his first wave of treatments last week.
We'll keep the Brits in our prayers.

We are sorry for your loss. Jason and pipesmoking companions Morty and Izzy. These guys came to us after our Springer Buddy passed 17 months ago. I feel you, they are like family.
Not to sound too quick to move on, but the good news is you can get another dog and bring them into your life.

I can relate to the pain. Lost two dogs that I regarded as my best friends last year. Dogs are in my opinion better than people. Better in the sense that the joy they feel when they see their friend is so pure, there is no hidden motive. Dogs are so pure and friendly, at least the ones I have had the pleasure of knowing. Much better beings than I could ever be.
Having to put your friend down is terrible. Even though it's done for mercy, the feeling is crushing. It's a good way to go, but terrible for the one having to "pull the plug".
When those dogs died, a part of me died too. I don't think I can ever feel love like that again.

I’m truly sorry for your loss. I feel your pain. When I got back from my last Afghanistan deployment (between Iraq and Afghanistan there were six of them), my wife decided that I needed a puppy to babysit me at home while I was trying to find a civilian job. For 3 months that dog and I sat on the couch while watching Dr Phil and eating cheese sticks. I named her Valkyrie for the reason that she really kind of saved me from a dark place at the time kinda like the mythological creature. She barely made it to her 2nd birthday, started having seizures and died in my car on the way to the pet ER on a Sunday.......there will never be another one like her.
