A moment of Silence...

Hang tough. Nothing hurts worse losing an innocent.

My condolences on your loss. We lost Caledonia, our Cairn terrier, about 6 months ago. She was 17 1/2 but it seemed like only yesterday that we brought her home as a little puppy.

My condolences as well.

blackshirt, be glad that you had your dog for nine years. You had a friend who held you in awe, and had a wonderful sense of fun. Try to remember Murphy's life, not his death.

Be well.

I agree on the memories, man;
I just wish the dog hadn't been so happy-looking about it, when my father pulled out the leash she got up all excited, looked like she didn't even realize that she was going off to die, happy, tail wagging...

Actually, I think that is how I'd prefer to remember her.

Dogs are innocents. I doubt she knew what was going on. Not really. It was another chance to go out with someone she loved. Why not be happy?

For her it was a sharp jab, then sleep. Then...

Any sadness she felt was because daddy was sad. With a very small child it's better that way.
