Lost my Buddy today.......
« on: May 01, 2009, 07:15:36 PM »
My buddy Hemi was hit by car and killed to day......
We were loading up the truck and trailer for a weekend up at Rimrock, he was playing and chasing my wifes dog, when they ran across the street and Hemi was stuck by a passing car. Slim (my wifes dog) was not injured, he made it  >:( (there is a whole other story with slim that i will not get in to).

Words can not explain how i feel right now, he was my best friend, my partner, my buddy........

REST IN PEASE BUDDY, I WILL MISS YOU....................

Sorry to hear about your loss. I know how you feel, had to put my best friend of 8 years down due to cancer a few years back. Still tears me up looking at pictures. Time will ease the pain but the memories will last forever> Markts

Sorry to hear about that.  I still think about my lab every day.......we had to put him down just about 1 year ago.  I can't imagine losing one that way.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Gasman, sorry to hear about Hemi...My son still talks about that day we met you in Tacoma with the birds for Hemis' training. He truly was a great looking pup developing into a great dog. We lost our last lab at 1 1/2 yrs. due to a freak thing and it is not easy and very painful, a year and a half later we have started again though. I see our last dog in the new pup almost daily. It is almost like she is back in a larger male form, but you still get the same looks and love.

This has been a very tuff night for me and the family. I have lost pets to old age, but never to somthing as tragic as this. He was only with us for about 7 months but he made such an impressionon everyon that met him. He had charictor, thats for sure.

He was not just a pet, but a family member


Thanks again everyone.

It;s hard to make sense out of an accident we lost our black lab when a friend backed over him while he was sleeping in our drive way it will take time but get another one when you feel the times right it won;t replace him but a new dogs love will help you get through it.  Sorry.

That is really tough to loose one so sudden, I lost my buddy to a massive aneurysm last winter, he was the same age as yours. I got a new one that age now, I still think of Mugs, but I love my new Jack just as much. Real sorry man.

Sorry to hear that happened. I had to put our boxer down last month. It is hard to loose a companion.

 My friend lost his lab to a car doing 50mph in a 25mph zone this summer. (imo) People need to slow down.
