god speed to Widgeon

The good news is that when you're ready, there is another soul somewhere ready to accompany you on the 7pm walks.

my condolences paul, sorry to hear of your loss.

My condolences Paul.
Widgeon will be with you forever.
I fear i'll be in your shoes soon. Never easy losing a best friend.

Paul-I had to put a golden down twelve years ago, and he's still with me every day, almost. I've been through a lot since, but it was still one of the hardest things I've had to do.

I've had two great dogs since, gsd's, and I love 'em all to death, but still...

Godspeed to widge, and you as well. I'm sure you're wise or experienced enough to know that the pain will mellow into a special place in your heart.

RIP Widgeon.

Always sad to say goodbye to a faithful companion and family.

“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.”

Sorry for you loss

[Brillo]

So very sorry for your loss of Widgeon. They are with us for far to short a time

[futuresoptions]

Sorry for your loss Paul... RIP Widgeon, you were a good girl!

[fxeditor]

RIP Widgeon. My condolences to you and your family.

[gordner]

Ah such a hard thing, my thoughts are with you. I dread that day myself....better sad at their parting than poorer for never having known them...

[Flat Six]

Really sorry to hear, Paul. My prayers are with you both. Need to get some kleenex; damned dusty around here . . .

This is beautiful, Doug; never heard it before. Thanks so much for sharing.

I've got two young dogs playing at my feet as I read this thread, Rika the lab and Perry the Jack Russell. They are engaged in quiet mortal combat between licks.

My hope is that they love me as much as Widgeon loved you; enjoy the 7pm walks, the water and ordinary as much as you two. Then I've got something to be proud of.

Best.

It is just a lot of pain.
