i had to put down a loved dog about 6 years ago when i was about 8! i remember my first duck call that i blew with dad and the ones i hunted with when i was that age  :) i was given that duck call when i was 5 and that call that i loved got put in chums box after he was creamated it is still in there and will stay in there because he was the reason i loved to hunt with my dad unfortuanatily chum didnt get to see me shoot my first duck but my call will always be with him! Its hard to put down a lab that you love and you were the only thing they had and they loved you! Hang in there your dog is in a better place! Time heals and so do new puppies that you can train love them just as much  :)

Tearing up just reading your post. Had to put my "Hannah" down just before
Christmas last year due to a heart condition and know just how you feel.
Nothing wrong with a tear or two, it shows you're a strong man, not weak.
May your best friend forever be in your heart.

Worst thing in the world to do, but sometimes it is best. I keep thinking I sould of let my pit live a little longer but the vet and my wife said I did the correct thing. She was the worst dog for me to put down. I lead her to the end. I still have dreams at night where I can swear she was with me in bed. I can feel her short hair, her big red nose etc. Great dog, so loyal... :'(

Go get another pup soon. I told my kids they will inherit a dog when I kick the bucket.

Tearing up just reading your post.

I swear I can't read these posts without tearing up.  I'm pretty sure I've cried more over dead dogs in the last 20 years than all other causes combined.
As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Sorry to hear about your loss... rest assured, you have done the right thing.  Be happy for the many years you got to enjoy the friendship.  My Suzy-Q was with me for only seven years before cancer took her.  Many tears shed and it hurt like hell for several weeks.  The greatest thing about it is all of the wonderful memories I now have of her.  Brings a smile to my face everytime I think of her.  Give it some time and you'll be smiling too while reliving all of those memories.
"A peculiar virtue in wildlife ethics is that the hunter ordinarily has no gallery to applaud or disapprove of his conduct.  Whatever his acts, they are dictated by his own conscience, rather than that of onlookers.  It is difficult to exaggerate the importance of this fact"

Hang in there it will get better over time even though it does not seem like it now.  I had to put my 15 year old lab down last July, it was so hard packing her into the vet that day and holding her right to the end,even though I knew it was best for her. Many tears were shed for several days.  Remember the good times the memories will last forever.
