The pain though has always been worth the gain.

last week I lost my best friend...Maxwell. my loving and loyal cocker spaniel.

he was the best friend I could have ever asked for and as hard as I loved him, he loved me back more. he has left a huge hole in my heart and it is amazing just how important he was to me in every element of my life. hard to imagine being able to shed any more tears...but I seem to manage.

I will get better each day but I will continue to miss my boy. he was a special friend and is love is indelibly etched on my heart

Very sorry for your loss, Pete. Thanks for sharing the pics - he looked like a great companion. We've all been down this road and there's not much anyone can say to take away the emptiness one feels when they have to say goodbye to such a steadfast loyal companion. All we can do is hug and love on our fur children every day and be there for them when their time comes. Which you have obviously done.

Remember the good times and that one day you two will see each other again.

(Weather channel says the pollen count is at hazardous levels today.)

Vin, that story reminded me of putting my mom's 17+ yo lab.
He hung in there an extra 2-5 years for her.
He had a good day, then dropped instant with the shot.
Some fight it the tech said. He was ready.

He was my dog before that in HS.
I walked and swam him through every woods and river around.
Have a pic somewhere of him as a pup sitting on the front of the windsurfer.

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. - Anonymous

Hahsha, so true....

This picture is of our son's boxer, Jake. They came home and discovered he had pilfered a bag of flour out of the trash. I guess is whole head was white before clean up and the picture being taken. Still a funny shot.

GF does voluntary work at the SPCA and says I should come along and work there too. But I don't want to go and fall in love with some kitten/pup/dog/rabbit. I've only got enough room in my life (and house too) for one cat and two dogs.

However if numbers where down there are some good fun pets looking for a home at that place.
