Said goodbye to my baby this morning

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.

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.

Sorry for your loss, rockman. As dog owners, we all must face the loss of our most loyal companions one day frown 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.

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      Problems with Yetti

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.

      I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
