Sorry, we lost our family pooch of 13 years just a few months ago, I still come home and start to walk outside to see her. They become such an important part of your family, my heart goes out to you.

Kevin, sorry man. Watson looks like he lived a very relaxing life.

a good friend.
deserves to be remembered and noted ..
dumb folks litter the landscape..

I'm so very sorry. I just lost my dog recently too and it was so tough; I just wasn't ready for it. I feel for you. He was beautiful and surely loved. Rest in peace, Watson.

Sorry for your loss quaz.

great looking pup! he will be missed.

RIP Watson. I'm so sorry.

Dogs mean so much to us--they truly become a huge part of our lives. My wife and I find that they make us laugh more than anything else. I'm sure Watson was the same way--he had that great gleam in his eye.

After a normal period of grief, go out and find another. You'll never replace Watson, but you'll start the whole wonderful process over again with a new companion.

Just don't get corgis!

Tom, That's it. Pets leave us...we cry, we miss them terribly. But the time comes to open your heart and home to another. The pets gone would appreciate this.

I think in some ways we mourn the loss of our loyal, faithful dogs more than our friends and family members. Why? Well, it's because they outperform the humans in our lives.

Sorry for your loss. He looks like great a great dog!

I'll never forget our first dog, well the first dog I remember, growing up. I was 21 and cried like a baby seeing her unable to get up one day. She had a form of lukemiea (sp?). We had to put her down after 13 years. Lucy was the best...

It is amazing to me how dog people can see a happy dog. Watson was always a happy dog and lead a very spoiled life. Right up to the last minutes he was happy. Maybe in pain, but happy. I agree with everyone here, they are as difficult to lose as a person because they are so loyal and never betray your trust. To everyone else who has recently lost a dog I feel for you and just know Watson is now with them playing endlessly. Hopefully there is a blue Frisbee up there for him......

Condolences on your loss, and kudos for taking good care of a loyal friend.

My dog is laying on the couch across from my desk, snoring. I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am...

Sorry to hear this Kevin. I know it doesn't seem like it now, but you gave him the best gift you possibly could have. How many of us will be so lucky as to go out in relative comfort, where we want to be, surrounded by the people that love us most.

He will be in good company when he gets there. A lot of Pelican buddies will be welcoming him, and showing him the ropes.

Mo_Gearhead dropped this on me when I lost Reggie on new years eve. You can't read it with a dry eye, but that only shows that you did the right thing.

RIP Watson...


Treat me gently beloved master, and I will love you with a full and happy heart.

Show me patience and I will learn to understand your every word and action. I will even protect you with my life if yours is at any time in danger.

Speak to me often, for your voice is music to my ears and I await even the simple sound of your footsteps, knowing soon you will be near.

Shelter me from nature's bitter cold and wet and I in return will warm your feet beside the hearth. Or, if life should be unkind, I will find a place of comfort for us both, for your pleasure is my dearest wish.

Play with me, for I seek your challenge just as I seek to please you. I will follow a thrown ball to the ends of the earth if you choose it and I will swim the seven seas just to see you smile.

Fill my bowl with fresh water and see that I'm well fed, for I cannot speak to ask you and am completely at your mercy. But my trust in you is so complete, I know you will never do me wrong.

And beloved master, when I grow old and the time comes to say farewell, hold me gently in your arms and I will go without a whimper. For with you I am safe and secure. A dog who gave love and received it with a grateful heart.

My condolences.

I just finished this book. VERY much enjoyed it. Wonderful peek into the emotional life of a dog (theoretical).

So sorry for your loss...

He will live on in your heart.
