so sorry man that sucks
I'm sorry for your loss, Yusuf. I had a dog for 12 years as a child and young man, and when it came time to put him down I couldn't do it. My grandfather offered to take him to the vet for me. I wept like a baby. I really is like losing a family member. It's nice that you have pictures to remember him by. God bless you.
A very nice tribute. I love my pug Bogey so much it hurts to ever think about losing him because of what he gives me in return, unconditional love.
I have had to deal with beloved dogs of the family passing and the only solace I can take is that I (we) gave them such a good life and that it meant the world to them that they were loved.
It is obvious Sinbad had a good life and he was loved and cherished and still is.

My Dad just called me to tell me that this morning my Mama Bear died due to spine failure. She was the most amazing beast I've ever met and the reason I got into dog rescue work. I'm an absolute wreck right now.
I remembered this beautiful thread.

Very sad to hear about that kb. Think about how great a life the dog had though. Focus on that
The soldiers gave three cheers as they urged their tired horses north across the uneven hills. Some of the mounts, exhausted after a week of almost continual marching, began to lag behind; others, spurred on by their enthusiastic riders, began to edge past the regiment's commander. "Boys, hold your horses," Custer cautioned; "there are plenty of them down there for us all."
I'm trying. That dog saved my life and changed me as a person. Nothing else has influenced me like she did.

Yusuf, and KB, I am sorry to hear this, and I know that grief. It's a special love and a painful loss.

Sorry for your loss. Dogs bring so much to our lives. Clearly you loved this dog with such a great & heartfelt website in his honor. I just recently pound-rescued a wonderful puppy & it's brought back for me all the great memories of my past pooches. Just recall all the great times your dog brought to you thru the years....

Sorry to hear about your loss it's though. My dog recently passed away in August he was a rescue as well, my wife actually found him on New Year's Eve six years ago so I think this New year's Eve will be pretty tough for her and I.
We got a new dog love him to death but it's just not the same.

Sorry to hear about your loss, KB. That stinks. Just remember that your dog probably led a very good life, more than many dogs, and your dog obviously loved you very much.
I definitely know how important dogs can be in one's life: I picked up my current doggie from the Humane Society a couple years back and he's incredible. Been with me and brought me so much joy through this past year which has been the most trying year of my life. I love him to death and can only imagine the sadness I'll go through when he eventually passes.
Anyway, hang in there and remembe all the good times you had with your dog. Best wishes.![]()

Yusuf, buddy, I feel your pain. A year and a half ago I lost my buddy Kazoo, who used to sleep every night cuddled up next to my shoulder. Your memorial is beautiful - a very touching and pertinent tribute. My condolences man.
Edit: Didn't realize this was a bump...Koolblue, sorry for your loss dude. That is one gorgeous pooch.

Yeah, I thought of this when I got the news today. She was a special dog for sure. I posted it on FB and the thread has over 130 comments from her friends.
I just got sent home from work, because it was slow and nobody cares for a crying bartender.

Uggh, I hate this. I dread the day when I have to face this myself. My dogs are getting old now. I can't watch dog movies, because I know how they always end and it depresses the hell out of me.
