Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. I know how much a dog means to a family, I had to put down my Yellow lab after 12 years in Jan 2000. Within a week I bought a Black Lab, she is now going on 14 years old (born Nov 1999) She is watching me type this looking at me with her gray muzzle. I know her time is coming and it will be sad. I've been around dogs all my life and I know they are only in our lives a short time. After she passes I will find another Lab, a yellow lab this time. Cherish the memories of all the good times and hunts. The sadness will pass and there maybe a new puppy in your future.

Been there a bunch. Put down three K-9 partners in three years. No easy way to deal with it except time. Remember all the goofey looks and good times. I hope they are waiting on us.

24/7, I know you'll miss him, but I am 99.9% sure you will enjoy his company in eternity. My you and yours be comforted and God bless.

Thank you to everyone for the kind words, feeling better everyday & thankful I was blessed with such a great friend!
It's funny you mention this, I actually have a downpayment on a Deutsch Drahthaar due around May 21. I was hoping Cooper would be around to meet him, kind of a passing of the torch. Can't wait to start my new adventure with the pup!
-
Hunt 'em up, Cooper. I have a sign on my garage that says "Heaven is the place where all the dogs you've ever loved come to greet you". I do believe that's true.
-
Well my new pup was born May 20th! Although he will never replace Cooper, I look forward to the time we will spend together beating the woods & waters & the bond that can only be had between man & dog.
He is coming from vom Slaney Vale Drahthaars in Manitoba, Hugh Slaney is first class in every way!

Sorry for your loss. My shooting partner "Abby" is 13 year old arthritic lab. This last year sure has been tough watching her only wanting half the time at the archery range but it's what she lives for even over chasing ducks. It's good to see a new pup is in your future, I'm sure it will be nothing but good times!

It's really tough to lose your family's best friend.At my house, it's just me and my 6 yr old Chocolate Lab and the 16 yr old blind Border Collie mix.
They are both God's best gift to me and I will be a mess for quite awhile when they go to Heaven.
They live the good life, go everywhere with me (will be going to Comptons).
I'm sorry for your loss.
I'm cw
ertain you have many good memories.

Hang in there Wess, its tough, I put my lab down in Sept of 2010 and my Springer in Feb of 2011. both were 13 1/2. I really feel for you buddy. It was probably the hardest thing that I had to go through. Just take comfort in knowing that he lived a good life.

Sorry for your loss brother. It hurts like nothing else. I wish you many safe and memorable trips your new buddy. God speed brother!

Thought I'd post an update of my boy Greg vom Slaney Vale (Jase).
He's a year & a half old now & doing great! He's quite a character! He's trained to point, blood track, retrieve & track fur, we have tested together & have passed everything so far! Here are a few pic's!
