Dark day


Dog day afternoon



Had to put the old girl down this afternoon. Rocked up to the vets with the family, wife had to take her in.
Didn't know an old fossil like me could get so emotional.  Tried not to blabba in front of the kids but bloody hard, must be age thing.

Going to miss her.

See ya in the next world Jessie.  (12yrs) whatever that is in dog years.

  2. Commiserations. Real men do indeed blub when one of their mates mates leave them. I did too

  5. It's a horrible experience to go through, we lost our first dog 5 years back and I still fill up with tears when I think about him! Dogs are so much more than pets, they are family!

  7. My sincerest condolences. Several years ago, I turned my then-2 yr old best buddy into the Humane Society after he had killed a neighbors dog - and after a bunch of other issues. We have one going on 15 years, and know that someday will have to make the decision you just had to. Warmest Regards, Dean

  9. It`s not an age thing at all,it`s pure Love for your family friend.We lost our dearest little friend "Sponge", five years ago,and i nicknamed him Sponge because he had huge paws that soaked up the rainwater like a sponge.
    It broke my heart to say farewell to him. So i understand completely and i am sorry for your family`s loss. Try and Remember the good times. BB
