My boy has finally gone to the big kennel in the sky. He was a champ and I'll miss him a lot.. Fortunately, he didn't suffer to much apart from noisy hips.. Just faded away and now at rest 

I'm so sorry.  It's always heart-breaking when we lose our beloved friends.

Sorry for your loss.

 The second last picture reminded me how old my oldest dog is now. I am sure you will miss  him a lot. 

  They really are man's best friend.

Thanks... He has been steadily going downhill for the last 2 years but always managed to hang on in there.

The photo you mention was taken last week, 2 days before he passed on.

I am not at home for another 2 weeks, I was hoping he might wait for me but he couldn't make it ?

16 yrs old though, so what can you do !!

Thanks pal... He really was my buddy

My condolences.

 

Never nice to have to say goodbye to a loved one but I’m sure you have some great memories to bring a smile to your face and relieve the pain somewhat.

 

I have buried a couple in my garden ( not in LOS ) and had one good friend pass in my arms so I can feel your pain.

 

Only last week my daughter had to sacrifice my father’s Lurcher at 17 years old, and I can only give you the same advice I gave him.

 

Remember the good times !!

Sorry to hear my friend. It does not matter how many dogs you have, it always hurts a lot loosing one.

 

I wish you all the needed strength. Returning back home will never be the same....

I've been away working in Oz, so will be very strange without him there when I return in 2 weeks... Shame he couldn't have hung on till I got home !!

Over the years I've lost six dogs, they were all my friends, now I only have 10 and half of them are over 12 years old...soon it'll become very quiet!!
