Bos taken her last ride.

Thats the sad thing about our trusted pets, they can't stay long enough.
oddly enough for some reason they seem to be closer friends than most human ones.

Damn straight.

Poor old lass got a bit crotchetty in her old age but I guess we never see it do we? We tried our best with her but there was nothing more we could reasonably do except let her go while there was still some pride left. Been a tough day and I'm off to bed. Thanks folks - dumb stuff I know but sharing helps and I'm grateful....

Fuck that beach seemed awful big and lonely tonight and my heart shattered at every shadow running at the edge of the light..... Ah shit... Gods speed girl.

G'night

I feel for you Paul & Vicki. RIP Bo.
I'll give my two an extra hug tonight.

[judecatmad]

Paul & Vicki, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. It's a hard decision to make, to have a beloved pet put to sleep. But it's also a very brave decision and allows your pet one last moment of dignity. In my eyes it's the ultimate act of love.

I hope the pain eases quickly. The memories will, of course, always be with you.

love and hugs xx

[elle-f]

A dog for sure is a real family member. We also have a rescue dog and they are the best most loyal things around.

You made a wonderful home for Bo. I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loyal friend. You guys did well

Have the most wonderful day
Elle

ps do you live in Johnsonville paul?

No they live in Raumati...

Paul, Bo was a sweetie, and I enjoyed the games we used to play.... Im sorry to hear about your loss.

Be well my friend... the human pain of their leaving is still a release in the knowledge that they suffer no more.

[apteryx_haasti]

Sorry for your loss. Dogs are fantastic and it always hurts to have to let your pet go.

R I P Bo.

Our sympathies Paul and Vicki, Bo was a neat dog. We went thru this not so long ago ourselves.....I avoided walking the beach for months afterwards.

Thanks folks - dumb stuff I know but sharing helps and I'm grateful....

Not at all, Paul. My condolences - I know Eggs Zachary how you feel, having had to bury our dog a few years ago after he got hit by a car right outside our house, with me watching (and calling to him - the reason he ran across the road).
Having lost my Dad and the dog, I can tell you the dog caused me more anguish.

[Paul in NZ]

Thanks everyone - the kind words and thoughts eased a lumpy night at our place. However, we all agreed this morning that it was the only choice and we are all feeling a bit better about it.

There are some good people here - thanks again - much appreciated

Ahh bugger, sorry to hear about this - I've gone through it twice, Wong our labradour went out at a good age, buried him under the rose bushes at our first home in Mangere. Lucky, a real mutt - dumb as a plank and the opposite of our labbie grew on us as well, suffered in his old age, but still wanted to hang around and fought for his time until we buried him under the plum tree.

Always get a little tear in the eye when I think about our family dogs that have passed on.

My younger brother has our 3rd family dog now, a Samoyed called Oxford who seems to be a combination of both our previous dogs!
