The toughest goodbye

[cnelk]

Today I said goodbye to ‘Moose’.

A wonderful dog that lived to 16 years old.

I saw the headline pop up and new exactly what I was about to see. I feel your pain. My pup passed in 2018 and it’s something that still weighs heavy on my heart.

Not looking forward to going through that myself. Have a 3 year old and a 1 year old lab. Never understood the connection as I’d never had dogs before now, but they definitely become part of the family. Sorry for your loss.

Damn man sorry. Those are tough days but your quote is spot on!

Sorry to hear about the pooch. I have one who is nearing the end of his journey with us and it kills me. Trying to enjoy each day we have left.

Btdt too many times and it never gets any easier, I've got a 10 yo husky and an 8 yo husky/lab mix and I'm enjoying my days with them, when it's their time I will feel that awful pain all over again but they are well worth it.

“The reward of having a good dog is a broken heart in the end”, truer words have never been spoken.


Condolences to you on the loss of your little buddy.

I also just said goodbye to my buddy Moose this last Friday. Got him free at a hunting ranch in East Texas where I struck out on deer. Moved to Michigan with us and been through a lot. Its tough man, he was one of the good ones that leaves big shoes to fill as I am sure your dog did. Awful quiet in the house without him following you around, its an adjustment. I started balling eating a beef stick the other day because there wasn't a dog begging me to share for the first time in years. Hang in there. They are in a better place and healthily/happily doing their thing now.

It sucks bad but the only thing worse is not ever having a dog at all.

Every story of love ends in tragedy because death is part of life. Yes, a broken heart is part of it, but the reward for having a good dog is also several years of life that are lived better and once time helps with the pain smiling at good memories.

That said, it took me about a year for time to ease the pain enough for me to enjoy remembering my last dog. So, I extend my deepest sympathies. Judge my manhood as you will for this, but just thinking about it has tears running down my face.

Such a sad time. Moments like that are enough to make anybody shed a few tears.

There's a song called "Good Dogs" by Jameson Rodgers that will help with the coping.

RIP Moose! Looks like he was a good boy.

Sorry for your loss!!! Man's best friend is not an exaggeration!!! I have had and lost many wonderful dogs over the years, and was devastated each and every time! No amount of time with them is enough. Even though 16 years was a good life, that doesn't take away the pain. Hopefully the loss will pass soon, and only the memories that bring a smile to your face remain!!

Sorry for your loss.
That quote is dead on.

Brad,
May the good times and love you shared out weigh the current sorrow.

 

[Mtnboy]

Sorry man.

I'm about to lose a good dog of 14 years myself, he's got a few months left in him but time is short.

Tough stuff.

Sorry to hear this Brad. Great quote really captures the essence of special relationship.

 

[Ridgeback08]

I'm sorry for your loss. Remembering all the great memories you had together will ease the pain.

Moose sounds like he was a very good boy, sorry for your loss.
