This super goof ball Boxer went to the other side today. She was the wife’s dog, best dog I’ve ever had. Bye Sadie 
So sorry to hear about your loss, know how tough it is.
Harder on the wife and girls. That dog got them through some hard times.
On a happier note posted the puppies yesterday. 
Decided that we are keeping one of the boys. Naming him Haagen. He has a little white on his chest.
So sorry. I still haven't gotten over mine from before Christmas. Best dog I've ever known as well.
We named him Loki, it's fitting... he's full of mischief
Sorry for your loss........there are a lot of people that know how you feel now, I know the feeling, and will experience at least two more times in my life.
Always re member the good times you had with your friend.........those memories will last a lifetime......you may or may not find another to share your life with.........but, memories of the companionship of this one will always be with you.
Dogs are truly a gift from heaven.......
He looks like it!!! Perfect!
Easter Sunday just happens to be the day this pretty girl was born. She's 8 years old today.
Hangin’ Tree Cow Dog Malinois Mix at 5.5 months.
Same dog at 6.5 months finding his first antler shed in the woods….
Today is one year we had to say goodbye to Nova, still miss her.
Two years today we had to send Miss Nova over the Rainbow Bridge. We all miss her.
Love your pets.

My Nova, RIP. Just before Christmas last year.
Kimber on the bow of my new to me deck boat. She decided to jump off while we were fishing about an hour before my son took these pictures. Going to have to work on her boat etiquette.
Some dogs are just meant for water like Kimber. As you can see with my gsp above. If you don’t want him wet you better keep a leash on him. It could be full blown rapids or a swimming pool, 10 degrees with ice recovering ducks or a sunny day in the ocean. He’s plum crazy.
Willow does not approve of federal 243. She is really a huge box thief, she will steal boxes out of the trash and shred them.
Nova used to enjoy opening my Amazon packages for me.
My Boykin Gracie. Best do everything dog I have ever had. With me all the time...dove, duck, fish, camp. 100 miles an hour in the field and completely chill lap dog at home. She's 8 now and I really dread having to get a new pup to train as she ages out of being able to duck hunt when it's cold.
She will dove hunt and fish with me long after I have to carry her to the field and boat..........

She thinks we need help getting fish in the boat. I had a smallmouth on her first time in the boat. She went after it on the second jump.
If I get out camo or a shotgun she is spinning circles in the house. It takes her at least a few deer hunt or turkey hunt mornings to realize its not one of her seasons and she can get back on her bed. It is amazing how they know. She wakes me up most of duck season. She also whines at me like I suck if i miss a shot.
They totally know it’s awesome. My gsp goes nuts every time you touch any form of a firearm. He will straight up rip the shotgun out of your hands if you stand still to long and you don’t keep him moving on birds. Taking breaks are not his idea of bird hunting. It’s not a good thing for sure and I always cringe if we’re hunting with someone who has a nice over and under with fancy wood. Tooth marks right in that stock 
Not being a service dog this afternoon.
She did the whole land shark pose thing while playing ball today at grandpa's house.
(ball above frame)
At first I was mad 'cause I snapped it too soon, but that's an awesome shot.

Dude, that has to be one of the best tributes us dog owners that have lost one or four have seen. Thanks for posting that ( as I wipe tears from my keypad)
Just lost my best friend Monday... It was devastating. Month ago he was fine, then a cough demanded a vet visit... Found out he had metastatic pancreatic cancer and boy it was moving fast.
Got three weeks with him before I had to put him down.
Most kind and beautiful creature I've ever known. The cat below? Yeah, that's HIS cat... They were very close, she's still looking for him. So intelligent I can't even recall all the different commands he knew, he just seemed to pick 'em up on the fly. Llewellyn's Setter:

Prayers to you my friend. Sorry for your loss
Sorry for your loss!
So sorry. I'm still mourning my girl that I had to have put down just before Christmas.
Just curious - have you?
I have two friends that lost children to suicide. One lost two, a week apart.
We all have our opinions but I can’t say I disagree. For me I’m 47 and have no children. I have however had one particular gsp I spent every day with for 13 years. Not the see you in eight hours everyday when I get home from work either. We were tied at the hip. When I lost him it was harder then even the death of my own father so ya it can be that hard. I now have another gsp who’s in this thread multiple times and as a guy who’s retired and he is my service dog we spend 24/7 with each other, literally. He’s only 3 but I already know his loss will be devastating to me. I liken it will be exactly like losing my child, twice.
If anyone has a lead, I’m looking for a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy from a reputable and reasonable breeder. A breeder that doesn’t require the dog be taken to shows or neutered, etc. A family/working dog. Not the lend/lease type game a lot of breeders play.
They are great setters. Lost my last English Setter to pancreatic cancer. Sorry for your loss.
I have a friend in Tulsa Oklahoma that just had a litter of Burmese mountain dogs. Really nice bloodlines. If anyone wants any contact info pm me. She may have some pups left. There not ready yet though, only 3 weeks old or so now.
Sorry for your loss sir. It’s never easy regardless. Hang in there
Well it's NOT , at all. Not even sort of close. I love my dogs, but this is just ridiculous to say.
Wow. Just wow. How did you get to a point in your life where you find it necessary to belittle the grief of another person?
It's not belittling, and there's no ill intent. This is a serious topic and I would not want to make light of it. I am a lifelong dog lover.
Losing a child is a life shattering experience that never ends. Comparing it to losing a dog is belittling those who know that horrific lifelong disaster, and it's wrong. We have members here who have lost children.
