I feel your pain.

I lost my blue heeler Bandit a few months back. It's tough.

This is really hitting home as I just found out from my ex I' have to put my dog down when I get back to NH next week.. really tough

It's amazing how our pets touch our lives, how we can recall certain events based on the pets we had at the time.

For us, the end with Choe was bitter sweet. We knew there was no chance for her, due to the aggressive nature of her diagnosis. We made everything of the month after the diagnosis and prepared ourselves as much as we could. In the end, we knew we were doing the best thing for her to end the pain, regardless of how hard it would be for us.

I hope Big Henry passed without pain or suffering in his final days. I hope Buddy remains strong and you can console each other. He needs you now as much as you need him.

Go give Buddy an extra hug from all of us.

RIP Big Henry

I remember when he was sick a year or so ago... it was pretty close there for a bit, eh? I'm sure he was never taken for granted, and lived as good a life as a dog could have.

My condolences.

As is my tradition, I will make sandwiches for my dogs tonight in honor of another dog's passing. Daisy gets a tuna on whole wheat, Chance gets a ham and cheese on a kaiser.

The dogs won't know why, but you will know two dogs are being spoiled rotten tonight in Big Henry's honor.

All who have lost pets know the feeling...the hurt. Still, it doesn't reduce the pain...only time does that. Doesn't make the pain go away, time only makes it hurt less. My sympathy.

So sorry for your loss bro. My ol' girl is really long in the tooth and I know the day is near.:(

Thank you all so much. I feel like I have so many people in my family here. Big Henry will be missed, but you are the best support group ever. Bless you all.

RIP Big Henry, and don't go chasing my old girl Layla where the big dogs go to play forever...I'm sure he gave you lots of happiness, and I understand your loss. Be well...

My condolences.

I've missed my Airedale, Daisy, for decades. I love all dogs, but Airedales.........well, they stand alone.

Heaven is comprised of 5% humans and 95% dogs. Be good and he'll be waiting there for a belly rub. Sorry for your loss man.

Sorry to hear this Dave.

RIP Big Henry, we'll watch over Dave, and Buddy for a while, you go rest now big fella, you earned it.

When a good owner loses a good friend, I always wonder which one was luckier. It seems all of us with pets are truly blessed.

Gotta go love on mine for a while.............

That is a great looking dog. I am so sorry for your loss. Hang in there.

What a great name for him David, easy to see there was a lot of love behind those eyes, and I'm sorry for your loss.

My dog passed away a few weeks ago. She was really the best, born on my birthday, she would have been 14 this Sunday.

What a gorgeous lad he was!

RIP Henry.

My condolences.

Targa has been reading aloud all of your heartfelt responses to our precious Henry's crossing the Rainbow Bridge. I must thank you all for your empathy of our pain. No one understands the unconditional love of a dog unless they've walked in those shoes. Henry left enormous shoes, but, I think Buddy is up to the task. Thank God for him tonight Thanks for your thoughts -- they really are special to us...we had no idea we could produce so many tears. Let's hear it for the ugly cry!!!

luv 2 all,

Mrs. Targa/ Mj

Little Buddy too.

Mrs. Targa, we may fight a lot, but like any family we are there for each other when it counts!

Big Henry looks like he was spoiled rotten, your family did well.

Sorry for your loss.
That was one fine looking doggy. Lovely....

Makes me want to add a pup to our family (dogless for over 20 years)...:(

Big looks like he owned the house. What an expressive face!. I'm sure he owns doggie heaven too.

Thanks guys. You all made us have abetter day. Tomorrow is another day. You are the best bunch of guys ever!

Thanks for being here for us. Henry will live on forever in our hearts. Thanks for sharing. A crisis shared is a crisis diminished.

Best,

David
