last hours
 

waiting on a vet buddy of mine to arrive to take McQueen down. he turned 13 last jan 17 and has been getting steadily worse over the winter. he is a prc legend! he's attended every track & race weekend ive ever been to and it wont be the same without him in two weekends at sears. I am sure our brother racers will miss his barking whenever applause broke out as their name was called for a podium finish at the post race awards meeting. I will.

our last track day was a test session at his favorite track, sears point back on feb 14. back in October when we packed up for the last event to head home I thought it was his last day at the track. im glad he rallied to make the test day last month, just wish he was fit for a whole race weekend the 15/16 so his prc buddies could send him off. not meant to be, his rear legs are bad, his attitude is good, his picture will be taped to the inside of my my car when it goes green a week from this sat. not started crying yet, kinda why I did this post, to keep my mind on I before E except after C.


proud to have called him my dawg!

alright, last one. here he is being shamed after having chewed the finger tip off my 1st pair of nomex gloves during a drive to thunder hill. actually it worked out well. the right inex finger being bare made it easy to operate the video camera while strapped in. he always knew what I needed.

thanks for looking, and those of you that have met McQueen, you'd be proud of how he's troopered through the last couple months. ive been proud to call him my dog!

Godspeed McQueen. Chip is waiting for you to romp around the track.

We're going to miss him.

Very sorry for you, bro!

It took a few events for him to stop barking at me. He hasn't barked at me in years.

Very sorry. Good looking pup.

Never met either of you but, sure am sorry for you and your best pal as it is a heartbreaking experience.

Sorry to hear; losing a great dog is always hard.

Looks like he has had a great life. Cheers.

He's just going to scope out the tracks on the other side for you.

RIP.

Sorry for your loss Car 311.

McQueen is a great name for your best buddy - thanks for sharing the photos and tribute.

Please let us know when you get another and post in the DOG thread....until then all the best, Baz and the blue girls.

What a great life he's had with you.

I just hope all the dogs that have lived with me over the years think they have had a great life; they have made my life special. Miss each and every one.

love the tub pic..
sorry for your loss...

Godspeed pup.....

My sincere condolences on the loss of your chocolate, McQueen.
He's a beautiful pup.
My 3 labs, Woody, Cooper and Spencer will help show him the ropes in dog heaven.

Matt

RIP McQueen

He is now romping around with my past labs, Dustin, Moose and Cedar to name just a few.

Read a story about a dog chewing off his owner's foot, while he was asleep.
It turned out the owner had diabetes, and his foot was full of cellulitis and gangrene which would have killed him in a day or so.
Dog saved his life.
They are like that.

My condolences to you and Don. It's not easy.

That glove pic brings back memories. I took that pic! Best dog ever. Bye mick.

RIP McQueen . Glad I was able to spoil him a bit last weekend with some of Miss Olive's dog treats. Hang in there buddy. You know where to find me.

Sorry to hear about your co-driver. Godspeed McQueen.

Love his look of guilt. My dog does the same when we catch him trying to sneak off with a sock that was left within his reach. So funny.

Sorry for your loss.

Man I hate these threads.. :( I'm so sorry for the loss of your buddy.
