    Sorry for your loss

    We lost both of your dogs 3 years ago within months of each other. It is a huge bummer. At least we have a vet who would come to the house to put them to sleep. Both dogs hated the vets office, for what reason we don't know because they were a friendly, gentle and caring staff. Their last moments were spent in the yard they loved to play in. I can only hope for the same.

    If we've done business together, please leave me feedback. Thank You!:

    My favorite pet died about two weeks ago, he was a bass that I went through hell and back to get him. I had to run a mile
    with him in a bucket to get him to the house. Everyone thought he wouldn't live, but he ended up living two years with me. He used to watch me when I walked into the room, he got exited when he saw that I had a worm container in my hand. I
    loved him so much, his name was bill. RIP buddy!

    4 wheels? Sounds to safe.

    I know your pain , I've included a little text that pertains to dogs but maybe you can adapt it a bit , hope you feel better.


    A Dog's Purpose?
    (from a 6-year-old).

    Being a veterinarian, I had been called to examine a ten-year-old Irish Wolfhound named Belker. The dog's owners, Ron, his wife Lisa, and their little boy Shane, were all very attached to Belker, and they were hoping for a miracle.

    I examined Belker and found he was dying of cancer. I told the family we couldn't do anything for Belker, and offered to perform the euthanasia procedure for the old dog in their home.

    As we made arrangements, Ron and Lisa told me they thought it would be good for six-year-old Shane to observe the procedure. They felt as though Shane might learn something from the experience.

    The next day, I felt the familiar catch in my throat as Belker 's family surrounded him. Shane seemed so calm, petting the old dog for the last time, that I wondered if he understood what was going on. Within a few minutes, Belker slipped peacefully away.

    The little boy seemed to accept Belker's transition without any difficulty or confusion. We sat together for a while after Belker's Death, wondering aloud about the sad fact that animal lives are shorter than human lives.
    Shane, who had been listening quietly, piped up, ''I know why.''

    Startled, we all turned to him. What came out of his mouth next stunned me. I'd never heard a more comforting explanation. It has changed the way I try and live.

    He said,''People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life -- like loving everybody all the time and being nice, right?'' The Six-year-old continued,

    ''Well, dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.''

    Live simply.

    Love generously.

    Care deeply.

    Speak kindly.

    Remember, if a dog was the teacher you would learn things like:

    When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

    Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

    Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure Ecstasy.

    Take naps.

    Stretch before rising.

    Run, romp, and play daily.

    Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

    Avoid biting when a simple growl will do.

    On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

    On hot days, drink lots of water and lie under a shady tree.

    When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

    Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

    Be loyal.

    Never pretend to be something you're not.

    If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

    When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by, and nuzzle them gently.

    There comes a time in life, when you walk away from all the drama
    and people who create it. You surround yourself with people who
    make you laugh, forget the bad, and focus on the good. So, love
    the people who treat you right. Think good thoughts for the ones
    who don't. Life is too short to be anything but happy. Falling down
    is part of LIFE...Getting back up is LIVING...

    Honestly you would have not even known he was sick, unless we said he was, and we knew he was from actions and weight loss from a solid 115 to a recent 75 pounds.
    Heard tell from a few friends that have stopped by when we was not around that he truly did what was expected of him ~ guard the house.
    These are the same friends that when over with us around Max is all over them with tail wagging wanting petted.
    Many darn good memories of him + I getting a little tipsy drinking together to out right wrestling in the kitchen or yard. Chasing me around in the yard on a trike to sneaking off with wrenches or parts,,,,
    Definitely got checked out early at just about 6 years old.
    Gonna be burying him at first light tomorrow, dam.
    Damn John Sorry to hear that. Max was a very cool dog, glad I got to meet him while I was up there.
