We got home last night and I noticed our lab Sam was not his normal self

He was walking like he was drunk, could not keep his water down, and sad in his eyes. Last night before bed he didn't even want to come into the house. He wanted to stay in the rose garden under our bedroom window

We got him inside, made him comfortable, he licked us both, then we went to bed. Well durring the night our Sam Dog passed away

.

My wife and I burried him next to our other dogs in the back pasture before work. THE DAMN DOG STILL HAD A SMILE ON HIS FACE

Y'all have a good day

Sorry for you and your family. He will always have a place in your memory and heart.

Sorry Tony. He's resting now.

Sorry to hear. I had a lab go that way about 15 years ago. No trip to the vet this way so I think it's a little easier on the owners and less stress on the pet.

Sorry to hear Tony, I am sure that you have many good memories with him. It is tough when the time comes for this event.

Sorry
He chose his time and lessened the burden on you to decide the time for end of life.

sorry for the loss of your dog.

Breaks my heart every time I read threads like these. We have two labs and they are young but I don't want to think about the day when they leave us. At least your dog went out peaceful and was able to say goodbye to you and your wife. Sorry for your loss!

jyerxa · « **Reply #16 on:** May 16, 2013, 09:40:05 AM »

Losing a dog terrible! I can relate. Really sorry to hear the news.

Malottguy · « **Reply #17 on:** May 16, 2013, 09:42:38 AM »

I am sorry Tony. It is so hard to lose a friend, especially a good loyal one. My dog is slowing down a lot and so I am sure it is not to much longer for him.

It is good he had that lab smile they get, just means he was happy when he passed on. He had a loving family with you guys

turkeyfeather · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2013, 09:49:13 AM »

Sorry to hear this Tony. Really sucks losing a family member.

CoryTDF · « **Reply #19 on:** May 16, 2013, 09:52:17 AM »

Super sad. I have been down that road myself. I lost both of my dogs during the month of May 3 years ago. One was old (16 years) and we put him down. the other was young (3 years) and he died from cancer. I dealt with loosing my young dog and finding him dead much better than putting my old dog down. I would rather them make the choice to go rather than me wonder if there was still anything I could have done before putting them down. I was dreading putting my young dog down and he was fighting pretty hard to get better but one night he just gave up and I buried him by my old duck blind. Loosing your friend is never easy and I cried same as I would have if I lost a family member. Thoughts are with ya sorry to hear this.

Thanks everyone

I'm at work, and just trying to get through the day

Ain't it funny how we as hunters can go out and blow the brains out of a deer or elk, and not think anything about it, but loose a dog, and its like getting gut punched for days

Old Dog · « **Reply #22 on:** May 16, 2013, 07:43:26 PM »

I feel for ya, man.

I had to put my Ursa la Bear down just over a week ago. It took me nearly a week before I could bring myself to go through the pictures of her for the Hunting Dog Memorial thread.

Sam Dog was only 7 or 8 years old. When we got him we were his (I think )7th home in his first year. He had some tumers inside his hind legs and on his belly for the last year or so.

So sorry for you loss Tony. I know that pets are part of the family so it hurts when we lose one.

It's one of the things the anti-hunters don't get about us; we love animals, even the ones we hunt.

Jingles · « **Reply #34 on:** May 17, 2013, 09:30:19 AM »

You have probably seen this before but every so often it is good to read it again when you get to missing the friend

The Rainbow Bridge…..
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Sorry to hear. Labs are wonderful. Hard to lose one.

wence5 · « **Reply #36 on:** May 17, 2013, 02:04:55 PM »

I don't think people that aren't dog people understand the bond we have with our dogs. They are more than just a dog, they are our hunting partner, our pal, our best friend. And when they pass away it is like a family member is lost. I have laid to rest more than one four legged friend, and I feel for you man. Sorry for your loss Hunterman.
