Had to put 13 yr old gsp down today. He was my best friend and my hunting buddy. I loved that dog! Man I’m going to miss him he was super smart,gentle and kind to other people. Ran him in the navhda natural ability at 5 months old got a prize 2 107 pts. First dog I ever trained. My wife and kids loved him. I will miss you my friend I can’t replace you wont be same without you! We will meet again! RIP Comet been crying the last two hrs.

I'm so very sorry.
Been there one of the hardest things

Sorry for your loss!  One of the saddest facts of life is that our family members that happen to be dogs have such shorter lifespans.    It sounds like you gave him the best life he could hope for.

My thoughts are with you, shorthair15.

Our family's GSP is 5.5 years old and I am already dreading "the day," whenever it may come.

Take care,

John

When I had to put down my first hunting dog it tore me up. I was a miserable SOB.  My wife told me to go pick out a dog after me moaping around for a year. She said if I dont pick one out she would, and it would be some  pocket pup...

Best thing to do is go get another one asap it helps fill the hole in your heart.

Bummer, sorry to hear about your loss.  I have had a bunch of dogs in my life and a few really stand out and it's tough to say goodbye.

Lost my dog 11 days shy of her 12th birthday, nearly two years ago. Was terrible, know how you're feeling.

Sorry for your loss, it never easy saying bye to a member of the family.

Damn! Sorry to hear this, it sucks.

Been there, done that - it was terrible and I'm truly sorry for your loss and what you're going through. Know that it will get better, tho -eventually you'll be able to look back on the good times and smile.

I did cry for a good week though, and then on occasion when something triggered a memory. Let's just say I had a lot of things suddenly get into my eye for a while afterward and cause a lot of watering...

Seriously, though  - I know it's tough and I'm sorry for you and your friend.
