I'm sorry to hear this.

My crazy Cairn terrier was a rescue dog. He was 6 months old and we have now had him for 6 years. We have had cats over the 30 years that my wife and I have been together but I was never attached to them like I am to our dog.

He is very happy all the time and is very smart. When I watch the Chiefs play and I get upset (which is like all the time) he sits next to me with his ears down like it is his fault that I am mad. I then snap out of it and we go out in the backyard and play with the ball.

I do not want to even think about what our lives will be like when he is gone but that is like another 10 years from now I hope.

Mr FAX, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.
I had to put down my trusty companion a few years back. She had cancer and like Mack received another year or so from treatment.

You might check Petfinder. I ended up with a great Blue Heeler that was being fostered.

Holy Christ.

A Brando sighting.

We lost mom this year and their lab is the only thing keeping dad engaged.

I had to put down our 14 year old cat in the middle of the night a couple of months ago and doing so ripped my guts out.

I have a 3 month old cat sitting on the other side of my shop door waiting for me to come in and play with her which makes me realize time just rolls over.

Don't feel bad for wanting another one Mr. Fax. It's good. Pets are awesome.

whats that↑

It's too bad that dogs don't live as long as us humans.

Fax, go get yourself another furry family friend. You will be glad you did.

I feel your pain. Not much tougher than losing a loyal friend and companion.

And yet there are thousands of great pets that come from pounds too.

get another one MR FAX .. they fill the need for friendship at rough times .. they don't care if you're the president or a drifter ... my ole-buddy, booger .,. thus part of my chat name .. was a good one .. rat-terrier great little dog .. he's gone .. got a boston terrier now, he's kool too .. so get one, they worth ya time .....

Sorry, man. I remember you saying it was coming close. It's never easy.

Are you still feeding them peanut butter off of your junk?

I never said there weren't.

Bottom line is that getting a dog from a pound is taking a chance.

Getting a puppy gives you COMPLETE control over a dog's upbringing.

sounds a lot like Cassel.

Oh ... I'm beginning to understand now ...

Does your rescue pound not have baby dogs? The ones around here (Brentwood and Belle Meade) have puppies ... although, sadly, not for long. I think they have either 7 or 10 days to be claimed and that's it.
