Missing a pet LIF

OP, my condolences.

I could not imagine loosing my cat. Sadly she doesn't have long, recently found out that she has diabetes and needs insulin shots twice a day

 

Sorry, that's so sad. I'm not eligible thankfully but I can share something I found one day that kind of makes me hope it'll help make me feel better when the day comes that my puppy dog has to move on.

I tear up just reading that every time I do.

 

This is Jarvis, our 13 yo White Boxer on Sunday May 6th at the vet when we had to put him down. He had been suffering siezures since Thanksgiving, progressivly getting worse. He was totally deaf but whas the best dog I have every had. Obeyed through hand signals and in my wifes case her facial expressions. BUT if you posed a threat to one of us or the other puppies he would tear you up.
We will miss him.

 

This is THOR, he is a 16 month old white boxer , he misses Jar too. He is perfectly healthy. Just dumb dumb dumb

 

You my friend are a SOB, you have me a 6'4 350lb man sitting at my desk sobbing like, well a 6 yo.

Very nice way to put things, smarth 6yo IMO. I thank you for the post/link

 

I lost my dog back in 1988 and I still have his dog tags on my keys. I do not want to go through that again. When I met my wife she had a little white dog that has now become my "daughter" as well. It will be very bad if we lose her. No beer will be able to subside that pain. So sorry for your loss. Keep your head up.

 

I appreciate it, thanks for the oportunity to share his picture and story.

I am also very sorry for your loss, it is a sick, sinking feeling when you look around for your beloved pet when you come home and then you realize they are not there.

 

This is all too familiar bro. Had to put my 11yr old boxer Muggsy down this past March and saying goodbye to a friend is never easy. Sometimes I still expect that ol slobberin' Mugglebutt to come running when I get home or enter the yard.

Good on you for sharing your story and some good beers. I thought about starting my own LIF but have had some real downs lately including job loss so my heart goes out.

Cheers!

 

saddest thread ever.... All i hear in the back of my head is Sarah McLauchlin.... Im sorry for your loss.

 

Sad to say I am a qualifier for this. My brother and I had to put down our girl Sidney earlier this week.

She was a great dog and will be sorely missed.

Thanks for the gesture OP and if my name gets pulled you can be sure I will be sharing with my brother and raising our glasses for Sid.

 

That phrase holds special meaning to me personally. I'd like to see the Bruery make a provisions beer called that. I'd max out my allocations for sure, regardless of price and style of beer.

 

And just like BigGene said above my buddy Chachi misses his buddy too.

My condolences to every person in this LIF... I have lost two Rottweilers in the past few years and they were both really tough on me. So much so, I haven't been able to bring myself to get another one.

 

echoing others, my condolences to everyone in the thread. OP, good thread idea, i know it's devastating to lose a pet and it's good to get a little support from BAs (or anyone).

myself, it's been years since i've had a dog, but you don't really forget how shitty it is when they go.

 

This is my bullmastiff Bindy, we had to put her down last weekend, she was 10 years old suffered from seizures near the end it such a sad thing to see she wouldnt even eat ........Im sorry for your loss though sir, its a hard thing to do its like loosing a member of the family
