Another one waiting for me up there

Lost my 4 legged best friend of 17 years today ! It was time to not be selfish!
Let the healing begin and a replacement search started .

It is always sad when we lose a furry friend. Condolences. Pics when the replacement arrives will help with healing. (so I hear.)

I am so sorry for your loss. Our good boys and girls are never easy to lose.

R.I.P woofer. MY condolences to you Bronco.

My condolences about your old friend.

But I'm happy for the next little (or big) dog which will have a nice home.

My ex daughter-in-law is a supervisor at the Memphis Animal Shelter, and the flood of animals which need even (just) foster homes is so constant.
My son has helped her take care of two or three foster dogs awaiting new owners.

Sorry to hear that. Hope you find another one just as good.

I picked up a Siamese rescue kitten last year. Her and her sister were dropped off. Semi ferrel. She’s a blast and loves the labs. It hard when you loose a pet. We become very close to them.

You may want to give yourself time before you look for a replacement. You will not replace that dog. I went through the same thing a few months ago and realized it was like being on the rebound from a relationship. I immediately started looking to get another dog but after months realized I will never replace that dog and I was trying to fill that hole in my heart. Maybe that's why I never found a suitable replacement. It's only been a couple weeks since I quit looking for a new dog.
You are a different person so maybe different needs and maybe I am way off base. I understand your pain completely and my deepest condolences. The dog I still have I don't believe wants a replacement dog brought in at this time. It's been a few months and I still miss that dog every day and I know my living dog also misses him.

Bronco - sorry for your loss as it never is "easy". Seventeen years is a good long time. Do you have a picture of your buddy?

I lost my last two just three years apart - 2/07 and 2/10. The first was a GSH that was 14-7 (kidney failure) and the other was a mutt that looked like a miniature Golden at 15-7. Her mother was a Springer that got "caught" by a local shorthair stray. We tried to keep her from getting pregnant but one slipped through. I wasn't going to keep her but at 8 weeks, she was already retrieving.

We tragically lost our last Brittany three years ago...I stumble across pics of her on my phone occasionally and the memories come flooding back.
I surely feel your pain @Bronco72.

Hate to be the turd in the swimming pool, but this is a gun forum. And I lost $100 bucks, because I bet this thread wouldn't last two hours before the Mods chopped it off at the knees for being off topic.

tark: That could happen.

Synthetic digital "space' is so hard for websites to contain. Maybe there is a weight and balance issue preventing "takeoff" unless ramp guys first shift lots of (digital) bags in the lower cargo compartments.....calculated by Dispatch.

But one of the dogs depicted was a retriever = gun.

Very sorry to hear that. Been through it a few times and it never gets easier. I hope you can think of the good times more than the bad.

...this is a gun forum...

Correct.
