Lost my bus companion

[happycamperbrat]

Im so sorry to hear of your loss.... It's sad but dogs dont have near the life expetency as we do. All we can do is take care of them and love them as they (and we) pass thru this world. When I had to put my Winnie down, I took time to heal my heart and then rescued another from a kill shelter. Good luck in whatever you do and (((hugs))) to you and your family

We are sorry to hear of your loss. We just had to put Bayer down this year also. He loved going in the bus, no mater where it went. We're leaving on our first trip without him in 18 years, and it's difficult. His memories are every where. We have a small container for his ashes that will travel with us this year...Cable

David,

I am sorry to hear that. I know exactly how it feels. Six months ago we had to do the same. We had the sweetest Golden Retriever. She was 13, when she started to get bad seizures. I still miss her. She was a great family dog.

It is like losing a family member. Even though they are dogs, they are still loved, VERY much.

Take care, my friend.

   Ive felt greater loss, and shed more tears over some dogs, than I have over some Family members. I can still get choked up thinking about one dog in particular, and hes been gone since 1991. I still cant read Rainbow Bridge without getting emotional, so I avoid it.

Sorry to hear that, David.

One of the hardest things I've ever had to do was put my dog down. That was in 2003. I still miss her. My website and board name are a tribute to her. Gumpydog was one of the many pet names we had for her. She was our first child.

You don't get over it, but it gets easier with time.

Thinking of you this evening...

It's hard letting go of a friend that loves you with no conditions. It's hard to do but ending their suffering is one way we can repay them for all they have given us. I've had to do it 3 times now and it never gets any easier.

Dogs are family and I hate to hear of anyone loosing a family member. Sorry about your loss.

I got my dog at a very hard time in my life and he helped me thru it. No matter what is going on it seams like a dog will be there for you when you need them. They are trully the best friend that anyone can have.

My dog is now 13 and I know that his time with me is running out.  Everytime that I leave without him I worry that he wont be able to go on a bus ride with me the next time.
