Said goodbye to my baby this morning

[rockman]

The day we all hope will never come, came today, for me. I had to put down my 13.5 yr.old GSP female named Heidi this morning. Her rapidly deteriorating health left me no choice. It was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do. My last words to her were, "Say Hi, to Major and Roscoe." and then I kissed her goodbye. I lost the other two dogs, two years ago. It never gets easier, but my other two 'boys'-Skyler(GSP) & Bailey(ESS), will fill the void. I miss you, baby. RIP Heidi. December 27, 1999 - June 29,2013.

You were given the chance to do one more nice thing for your girl today and you did it. They just don't live long enough. Sorry about your loss.

sorry for your loss. it's something that we all know we will have to do, one of the hardest things we'll ever do, but it is something we all owe our pets. when life becomes a challenge for them, we owe it to them to make the decision. remember the good times, and know you did right by her and she is better off.

Brought a tear to my eye as my Lobo will be 5 on the 4th of july. Hopefully we get 13 yrs out of him, He lays at my feet or at least within an eyeshot. On my foot now. No words can ever ease the pain, know all of us are saying an extra prayer tonight.

I remember every one of my friends; they are still with me, some of them fifty years later. And let me share this: My beautiful Annie, who we lost last fall to cancer,had a habit when riding in the passenger seat of my truck, of reaching over with a paw and pulling my hand over to her..just some affection. She is the only dog that has done that.

Two days ago Abby, six months of age, was sitting in the passenger seat and out of the blue she reaches over with a paw and takes my hand. I about fell out of the truck-it was Annie and I said aloud "Annie! I will not foreget you." Sorta spooky isn't it. I just KNOW they are out there somewhere, waiting.

Go ahead, call me a goofy old man. What the hell, it makes ME feel good.

I know how you feel tonight. But she will be with you.

Thank you all for your condolences, and thoughts. Bailey is 11 weeks old, and he is keeping Skyler, who 1.5 yrs. old, and the rest of the family, pretty busy. Having a puppy around certainly helps us get through this. Again, thank you all. It is greatly appreciated.

All hail a life well spent!

Godspeed Heidi!

Good luck!

Sorry for your loss, rockman. As dog owners, we all must face the loss of our most loyal companions one day I have been through a couple of good dogs in my life, it sucks for quite a while after... I have a feeling the puppy will help ease your families pain somewhat.

[Heidi]

Sorry for your loss. I will pay special attention to my Heidi brittany

tonight in honor of your baby.

[Pherris]

Sorry for your loss. We make them a promise; I will never let you suffer. Still breaks my heart every time.

Peace
