A sad day today

[rick37]

My dog(smashmouth) a12 year old english bulldog had 3 grandma seizers yesterday and took him to the vet where the did blood work and found that he may be bleeding inside because of a low white blood count(I think thats what they said)however today the 15th he was not doing very well and the wife and I decided it was time. I could not make any of the calls because I could not stop sobing like a baby,My wife took care of everything for us,She is much tronger than me and I ain't afraid to say it either I just could not say goodbye to him.He is headed back to vinton county where he grew up.

Thanks for letting me share my feeling(big wuss I know it was only a dog)He was my son a big part of the family.

Going through that was one of the hardest things I ever had to do. Sobbing just means you have a heart. Sorry to hear about it bro.

I know the feeling. Our family dog died in Febuary. She was 12 years old too. Sucks to hear. Pets become a part of the family and it's sad to see them go. Sorry to hear about your loss.

aww I'm sorry...

[NightRider]

Sorry to hear Richard. I hate my dog at times, but...like everyone's said...they're a part of the family. I know it's rough man, keep your chin up.

Sorry to hear about your pooch Rick.

So sorry to Hear!

GSobbing just means you have a heart.

True story. Its very hard to loose a dog. I lost one last year and my ex took my other dog from me recently (few months ago) BUT I got another one last week.

Sorry about your loss man. I know how hard it is

[max power]

That sucks. Sorry to hear.

Yeah, you do get attached to the critters. Had a toy poodle and she made it to 13. She passed away while I was on my first cross-country motorcycle trip. I dedicated part of my TX ride to her (her parents were from TX). Hang in there!

im sorry to hear that

[bruisedk7]

sorry to hear bout your loss

[lookmanohands]

Sorry for your lost, I had to put to sleep my 13year old Terrier back in June and it still hurts.

[redkow97]

i was expecting this to be another "buell is closing" thread, but this is way worse

I've only had my dog 9 months, and I already can't imagine what life would be like without him. Sorry for your loss. no matter what people say, it's not "just a dog" when it's YOUR dog; or, as Ron White puts it, "I like MY dog - i don't give a shit about yours."

remember the good times

[Artmageddon]

Sorry, man. Dogs are pure love and tough to lose. I dread the day my little turd is gone. He is my child.

I'm divorcing and she is taking him, that is really the thing that I'll miss the most.

It must be tough to put him down as well, but better that than knowing he is suffering and no way to tell you.

I have a 13 year old Boston Terrier that Ihave had since she was a baby, I know the day is coming soon, I just know I will be a blithering idiot on that day.

[NinjaNick]

Damn I hate our pets passing. Sorry for your loss rick. Keep ya head up.

[smashweights]

that sucks. i've had my boxer a year and a half now. she drives me nuts sometimes but i'd be miserable without her.

[hue jass]

Thoughts and prayers are with you. They're like children. It sucks that they don't out-live us.

[Aerik]

Very sorry to hear that, man. We just went through a similar situation with my mom's Bullmastiff (she'd had her since I was a teenager). Never easy.

[KruelHouse]

Sorry to hear about your dog. Hope that you bounce back soon!

[Fazerlady]

I am so sorry Rick, I feel for you! :-(

I have 3 dogs, they are 10,7 and 6 yrs old. Except for the 7 year old we had them since they were puppies. The 6 year old, Max, I helped deliver and I sure dread the day that they will leave us... :-(

HugZ,

Mel

Thats tough man. Sorry to hear about your loss. Ive had my pug for 2 yrs and I love her to death. Id beat a bitch if anybody ever hurt her.

I saw an English bull dog at the Fairfield Mall this past weekend and those things are awesome.

[Likwid]
