Lost my best buddy.

Last Friday I lost my best buddy. The amount of guilt I still feel from lying next to him crying my eyes out while he was put down is unmeasurable. He was 14 1/2 years old. Damn I miss that stupid ass mut.

I went through the same thing in May. My Bo was also 14.5 y/o
Don't feel guilty for showing your emotions(you loved him).

So sorry to hear about your loss. It is one of the most painful things to lose a dog.

Really sorry that you are going through this. Never an easy thing to go through.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

Sorry for your loss, Sled.
My dog is somewhere between 14-16 years old...our family knows his days are shortening by the moment. We're already trying to make plans for that day (especially for our kids' sakes). I get kinda teared up thinking about it, too.
