thanks for the kind words everyone, i really appreciate it. darky was right, he was a golden retriever but cream in colour. i'm not an emotional person but i took it very hard. it still hasn't sunk in that he's gone. i do plan to get another dog but i don't think it will be for some time

some really great pictures posted, look after them! they are always there to make you smile no matter how shitty life becomes.

who usually wears the 'pants in the relationship' out of the cat and dog when you have both living together?

Sorry to hear about your loss.

My dog was just diagnosed with cancer. We started chemotherapy last week. Hopefully it will do wonders.

sorry about your dog...ours are getting old and that day is coming. They are a brother & sister Rhodesian Ridgeback, and a ridgeback/pug mix.

My dog. With stuff on her head. She loves it, I just know she does...





Last halloween (she carved it by herself, serious!)


My best friend of 11 years.

Painful day. I just put down my dog after a long battle. Its amazing to think how strong feelings we have for our pets. He was truly one of our family, and I feel such pain right now its hard to breath. I just remembered this thread and wanted to post.

I'm so sorry for your loss

I'll keep you both in my thoughts today!

I'm so sorry. Occasionally I think about how I'm going to outlive my dog and it makes me so unbelievably sad - but I'm sure it's only a shadow of how you actually feel. But all those happy time have to make it worth the sorrow you feel now, right?
My condolences...

Mickey sends his condolences

this thread is going to make me cry

i have wanted a dog forever but allergies make it difficult
and i dont deal with death well

So sorry for your loss. my dogs are like my best friends, I dunno what I would do...

Shadow and Rocky, two Labrador mixes, brothers



Maxi, Great Dane


Still need to dig up a pic of Munchie, rat terrier x Chihuahua mix

Thanks, everyone. It really means a lot.

Oh man, sorry for your loss.

sorry to hear about your loss . thank you for reminding me how lucky i am to have my ronin .

So sad Kingboy, very sorry to hear you lost your friend

Thanks, all. I just have to give my other two pooches extra special attention.

I'm so sorry for your loss, truly.
Here's our little guy, I hope he cheers you up a bit.




He looks sad in the last one, but I assure you, he's faking it for treats.

aah so sad to hear

Here's my boy Irwin, on the floor, with his mates Wilf and Zeus who came round to play and chill out!

totally feeling with you!!!
...never expected a relationship with a dog become this intensive in such short time.
here´s our little "fight" girl:

Bring this thread back so to speak. My dog has had some problems these past months with his spine it cannot be treated. But as long as his quality of life is good i cant expect much more.
Here is some photos of mattie he is such a character i have had rottweilers all my life

Here is a quick pic of Izzy that I snapped the oter day. She was outside helping me take Goga pics.

baxter & lola with elephant table... we've only had the little guy a few months, i think this is the first shot they've made it in together.

T____T

This thread is kind of hard to look at as I see pics of my little brat when she was still with us. She lived to be 23 days shy of 16 years.

The pet cementary we had her cremated offered a complimentary viewing prior to the cremation which we opted for. I know it sounds odd, all this for a dog, but it really helped my family to mourn her properly and say our goodbyes.

we'll have a dog again, just not right now but this experience of loss made us stronger to deal with this especially if you have other pets and the inevitable will occur.

Seriously, just reading this makes me tear up a little. I know it's part of pet ownership, but it breaks my heart to think of our dog passing away eventually.
