For over 16 years the main family pet has been this black lab of ours, she has been with me every day of my life. When I was little she was my guardian, my dad never had to worry about me playing outside because she would drag me home by the diper if I went to far. She was always my best friend on those long summer days when I would go play outside, she was my Lassie on more than a few occasions, but I wont get into all the details. Recently she has been slipping away, she is pretty old for a dog, we dont know exactly how old she is because my parents got got her as an adult in 1990, before I was born. She was always like super man, she was run over by a milk truck twice with a total of 3 broken legs between the two, and she jusk continued on. Now old age is starting to settle in and she has a dying loom in her eyes...my dad says she has less than a week. I feel like a real pussy posting this but I dont care, I hope there are a few people here that have something to say. Thanks for reading.
 
you're not a pussy posting this, it really sucks when you lose your pet, especially if you lived with it all your life..

I'm sorry for your dog
 
its rough man, for sure i feel ya.. my little golden retriever was only 3 years old, happiest dog in the world, had a great life and all.. my bro, his college friends and i would always take her on our annual trip/boozefest to jay peak cause everyone loved her and she always had a ball. but this last trip of this january 2nd, we went to our friends condo before leaving town and my friends took her in their car like 10 min before we left and i guess no one put her inside (this condo is on a busy highway). as we pull up to the house, i see roadkill on the left side of the road..then i see golden fur, like my dog's, blood, guts, everything.

it didnt have to happen at all. the worst experience of my life, she was too young to die. but at least she had a great life for what it was worth and i hope she's keeping Teddy company up there.
 
hey man, dont think that you should ever feel like a pussy for loving a dog, especially a black lab, theyre the shit.

Tell the lassie stories, delve right into the memories
 
Whoa, run over twice by a milk truck? I think you should really check into that milk delivering service... Anyways, your dog sounds great and I hope she passes away peacefully in her sleep.
 
wow man i totally feel you..its kind of ironic but my dog had to be euthanized today. ive known her for 11 years..almost my whole life..she was an amazing dog and was always there for all of us. she has had kidney disease her whole life and while i was at school the vet came and put her out of her misery. im totally feeling what you feel dude. in about 10 minutes im going to her grave to say my last goodbyes. later man
 
yeah my dog is dyning too. He has leg cancer and it is spreading........the life exepectency is like a year and he has had it for 4 months
 
It's always hard man, I know what you mean. We had a black lab most of my life that we had to put to sleep and then a few years later we had just adopted this mutt dog that was so awesome and he was about a year old. Well I came home from work one day to find that he had just up and died in the backyard...still don't know why but man...it's tough sometimes.
 
i have a golden and shes 13 and shes on her way. reading this made me relize that i shouldnt be on NS, i should be playing with my dog! so sorry about your dog. i hope hes ok. some advice, get off the computor and sped time with a friend you've known your whole life.
 
that really sucks about your dog. one day in grade four, i woke up and my parents told me my dog wouldnt be there when i got home from school. it was so hard.
 
yeah dude Ive lost three dogs it doest get easier I had a cockerspanel (sp?) he died when I was 6 he was 13 or something simialr to you that dog was my life.

Then my sisters little dog got ran over, it sucked not a pritty site.

Then in October my Bernese Mountine dog had a heart attack while chasing some Rotwhiilers(sp?) that were hurrassing my little dog.I'm 18 and it still tore me apart.

But on better news we got a new puppy two weeks ago I cant wait to get home and meet the guy.
 
definitely not a pussy, and anyone who flames you for this is going to hell.

i can't even imagine losing my dog, but in time i'll be in the same position as you. it's tought no matter what you do, but just appreciate the good times you had with her.

i feel for you 100%
 
That was actually pretty touching. Goddamn. I can't really say anything, no oen can when something's about to die, it's just how life goes...Someone once told me something about how when your winning and everythings goin great it's all about beaches and sunshine, but when your loosin it's all about rainy bullshit etc etc...but at least now you feel like shit, because now that you do, you know there was something to miss, something you put yourself out there for to fall short of. So it was worth it.

not exactly how it was said or in the context and I think it was ripped off by some reporter but that's something I will always remember...remember that if the feeling is truely horrible, then you can be happy that you had something special.
 
hey man, my dog died when i was 14 and it was kind of the same thing for me, i had him my whole life, before i was born and he loved me more than anything but i abused him(i didnt like hit him or beat him or anything, but i didnt appreciate him), and its hard to think about that.. it really is, but you move on. i wish i had treated him better, he was amazing.. im really sorry
 
i got mine in 6th grade but i dont know what i'd do without him, he's a great guy, could be a little more settled down but he's gettin better as he gets older and he's badass as hell so wahtever...

but dude, just spend all the time you can with her, make her last few days good ones
 
Whe I was 12, my family dog was about 15. He had had a number of strokes, and we had to put him down because you could tell that he was suffering by living.

It was absolutely horrible. I had known this dog every single day of my life. From the day I can home from the hospital. And I can distinctly remeber curling up with him the last night he was with us still, and just petting him and crying all night long. And the house was always so empty when we would come home without him there.

We got another dog since then, we've had him for a number of years, but it's still not the smae, and I'll always forget my first dog.

Dogs really are the ebst friends. No matter what, they will always be there by your side. And losing them is like losing an immediate family member.

Hell, I'm getting pretty sad thinking about my first dog right now. But it also makes me want to go play with my current dog.
 
Also, just try your best to remember the great times you've had, and spend lots of time with him right now.
 
damn, i felt the same way when my old dog died. it was one of the more sad moments of my life. i feel you completely on this. you arent a pussy at all for posting it.
 
i had a big st bernard/hound mix named joe he was awesome...he escaped the house and got hit by a car he died when i was like 11 i was sooo sad tho
 
thats sucks man, i feel so bad for you and the dog. but what you gotta do is move on, or this will bring you down untill you do move on. i know it sounds harsh or mean, but its the truth.
 
loosing a dog is one of the hardest things i have ever delt with when its their time to go it makes it a little easier. but man it does really suck u should def. get another if u don't have others i couldn't imagine life with out my dogs
 
Not much of a condolence, but dying of old age is something to be thankful for. Once my mom saw two stray dogs hit at an intersection in broad daylight...she was a little shaken up, to say the least.
