Lost my dog tonight.

Sorry for your loss, so difficult to loose a precious family member.

I read the subject and petted my dog that is sitting next to me. These dogs become part of the family and it is tough to lose one. Hang in there and focus on those good memories that you made together.

She is wagging her tail right now, knowing we were talking about her.

sorry to hear of your loss.

Thanks for all the kind words. We just got back in town last night. Decided to wait and tell our little girl till we were home due to some other crazy extended family stress. She took it really hard at first but is a trooper but that was definitely one if the hardest things I've had to do as a dad.  If i never get another dog that will be why. I'm cleaning up his stuff right now. Taking his beds and other stuff and going to see if I can donate them. No plans to get another dog for a while. Maybe the kiddo would like a guinea pig or something LOL.

 I'm sorry for your unexpected loss Jackelope. Losing a great lab is tough.....I know.

 Year's ago I had a Chocolate female, Teal was her name (Lady Teal of Clearlake). I had to have her put down due to kidney failure (10.5 YO). She died as I was holding her in my lap. That was very tough on me. I went 6 year's before I got another female Chocolate lab. Her name was Maddie...alias MadDog, MudBug, hey you get over here, hey you get otta that etc. Her registered name was Madison's Mocha Hunter (Madison from a town in Georgia). She was a waterfowl hunting dream.....lot's of drive but could stop on a dime (in her prime, the last couple of year's I let her get away with whatever she wanted pretty much) when I whistle, then hand commanded. Last year on August 21st. she got very sick (on a Saturday). Took her to the vet (new vet.....normal (ex) vet was too busy , he kept her overnight. She died the next day. I went to pick her up to bury her up by the cabin overlooking the duck hunting swamp. Got a backhoe, dug a 6' deep hole, placed her in the hole with her favorite blanket (facing the swamp), my best Mallard drake decoy and 3 12ga. 3" #2 Kent shotgun shells. Said a prayer with my wife and neighbor, covered her up and placed a rock on top that looks like it had a thousand golfball sized rocks rolled up in some lava stuff. About the size of a loveseat, that I had been saving. 4 month's before Maddie died (12.5YO) I got another Chocolate lab pup. Her name is Grace. She has 3 ancestors in her lineage that are in Maddie's lineage. She'll never replace Maddie but, she look's a lot like her and she's developing into a very loveable and fine companion in her own right. I'm so glad that I didn't wait another many year's before I got another. Life's too short not to have a good dog around. No good dog will ever be replaced but (for me) not having even a decent dog around is just too dark of a hole in my life. Take care, man. Time doesn't erase but, it does ease.  R.I.P Bailey. I'm sure you had a charmed life.

That just sucks Josh.   Got tears in my eyes thinking about how your daughter feels.   Sorry you have to weather this storm.
