Life I had to bury my bud today - Page 4

Well, today I had to do the last two loyal tasks a pet owner ever has to do for thier buddy. I had to put my yellow lab Kegan down today. I then buried her under her favorite tree by the garden. That sucked. Gonna miss her. I'm really not looking forward to the telling the kids after school. RIP Keegs.

Sorry to hear that Mr. Tooge. Its really tough have a good dog die and even more tough digging the hole. Been there twice and it aint no good. My condolences.

I'm sorry!!! Sending all my love to you and your family. Maybe in time you can get a new yellow lab that'll bring new happiness to your family. That always worked in the grieving process for me growing up.

I tell you; the best thing to do if you're going to have a pet is to get a 2nd one when your current one hits middle age. As they pass on, it makes the whole ordeal a lot less painful.

Very sorry for the loss, Tooge. Right now it will be real tough but down the road you will be able to look back without nearly as much sadness and just remember the great memories your pup brought you.

I remember when I was a kid we had an Irish Setter that lived to be 18 years old, he was a great old dog. We also had a great dane that was quite a bit younger, like 3 or 4. The night our setter died, our great dane thought he was just cold and laid on him the whole night (they lived outside) trying to get him to warm up. Dogs are just special, there are no two ways about it.

Sorry man. I have a 5 year old chocolate and know it'll be a tough day when it comes.

"I go to prepare a place for you, my fathers house has many rooms"......
GOD's gentle example of unconditional love, a good, faithful dog.

Sometimes I wonder which is the more developed species...

My serious condolences. My wife will be a basket case when her 11 year old Black Lab gives out.

My mom just adopted dog a few weeks ago after her two long-time dogs died of old age within the last few months.

The new dog got out yesterday and was run over and killed. She said she had just "grown to love" with her new friend.

I had to take him to the pound.

Horrible day for her. Not a good one for me either.

Yikes. That's some serious suckage. Sorry to hear it.

As hard as it is to lose a pet -I've buried three kitties in the last five years- you must remember you gave your buddy a good home, and a good life because of it. I hope when you've had some time you'll go out and get another pal, hopefully a pound pooch - and give another deserving animal a good life. Too many lovable dogs and kitties in the shelters these days. It makes me very sad. Hope you'll bounce back and think about it.

I just bought a Yellowlab puppy for my little girl for christmas. So far he's destroyed two paits of boot , my best garden hose, and a basketball + every time he comes in the house he goes straight back to the farthest place he can find and takes the most massive shit he can squeeze out.

I'm gonna miss him too!
