Re: lost my best friend today
Ouch, sorry to hear that. We have a 2.5 year old golden here, I can't imagine not having him jump on me when I come home every day.

Re: lost my best friend today
Our massive golden retriever died at 5 of a tumor, he was a gentle beast and always happy.
Thats one of the worst things someone can go thru, losing a beloved pet. They are like our kids, and have nothing but love to give. I lost my basset hound and maine coon kitty after 17 years of growing up with them and never was the same afterwards, so I understand the feeling. Almost makes you want to never have one again. The humane society can always use another adopter, when your ready, I bet you can find another friend to lay at your feet or on your lap. Im really sorry for your loss |

Re: lost my best friend today
Thanks guys we do have another dog we adopted almost exactly one year ago to help fill the gap left with our loss... We got the new dog in the hope that our older dog would train her. When we got our new dog Holly, she was not house trained at all. She lived in a trailer with 85 other dogs and survived on the other dog's poops and pee. She is a good dog now.
I guess Mackie felt her job was done and she could leave us... Thanks for all your kind words..

Re: lost my best friend today
One more kind word from way down under. We no longer have our Ridgeback Luke and cat Smooch, but life goes on.

Re: lost my best friend today
I am sorry to hear that. It is a very difficult thing to go through. Good luck and it is good you have another to help ease the pain.

Re: lost my best friend today
I lost a German Shepherd at 10 years old in 2007 and another at 9 1/2 in 2008. We got a Boxer puppy Christmas 2007. It sucks, but open your heart to another dog that desperately needs you. You'll never forget, but the love of the next one does round off the sharp edges. Everyday I want my Shepherds back, but the Boxer is cool in her own right. Like night and day to a Shepherd.

Re: lost my best friend today
I agree.
Each pup is different and there is no replacement for the lost one, but it does take the sharp edge off your lost one. Like they have always said, but I don't know if I agree with them -- "It is better to have loved and lost than never loved at all." It sure doesn't feel that way at the time. Good luck.

Re: lost my best friend today
As you might know, I'm a cat guy. Don't hold that against me, I wish I could have a dog or three. Can't remember where I found this but here it is anyway.........
"It came to me that every time I lose a dog they take a piece of my heart with them. And every new dog who comes into my life, gifts me with a piece of their heart. If I live long enough, all the components of my heart will be dog, and I will become as generous and loving as they are." ~Unknown We got a new book recently here at the ol' library...."Dogs never lie about love: reflections on the emotional world of dogs" by Moussaieff Masson (no kidding) I recommend it. bruce
