Remember, they are not with you forever

View attachment 56230 just got back from Tulsa and found my schnauzer/Cairn mix dying from what appeared to be a heart attack. Held her till she passed and just got done burying her. She was nine and active to the end. Go pet your dog cause you never truly know how long they will be with you.

Speak kindly to me, beloved master. Revel in my unconditional love, and give me every minute that you can spare, for my time with you is short.

Truth! Sad times

Tough times. My lab and retired hunting buddy is 12. I worry about coming home to find a situation like you did.

Sorry for your loss. They are family.

So sorry to hear this. I hate it when you lose a family pet...a furry family member that is. They really are part of the family and it's tough to lose them. This old guy is about 12, he's a great little dog and totally devoted.

It's a tough situation we don't want to experience, sorry for your loss.

This month makes five years since I retired. I have really spent a lot of time with this little dog. Picture just last Wednesday.

Your other dog is probably suffering, too.

Yes she is. She knows something's up. They were a pair. She is following the wife around as I type this.

They love us unconditionally. Lost our little Chihuahua last year, she was 13.
Now have a Rat Terrier. One of the best dogs...
