      Thanks all, the sense of loss is just overwhelming, just stunned. This is my fourth dog to pass, but Auggie was pretty special, he loved everybody very much, a real people dog. He was a rescue dog and he lived a very lucky life with no fences and lots of people are touched by his passing. I knew he was getting old fast, and I took him in to get a sense of how to care for him in his last years, I had no idea that i would walk out without him. It is like someone turned down all the lights. They say time heals all wounds, i do not know if there is enough time for this one.

      My wife and I are just lost and wondering around the house, I guess you just have to cry out the loss.

        man that sucks mate. I'm sorry it worked out that way. Try to remember that it may have been much easier on you and your family by it happeneing so fast.

        I had to put our 16 yo minpin down a few months ago. I knew it was comming and I was hopeing she would pass away in her sleep. But she kept hanging on. One day I told my wife that Angel is in alot of pain, blind and deaf and I think its time because of the pain. Rose agreed and we took her to the vet 2 days later. Man is tough without her the first few days but its a relief when you know for certain they aren't in pain anymore.

        If you haven't done so already.......put her in a nice place in the back yard. You will always have her in your memory.
        Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of the people I killed because they were annoying......





        I've been wrong lots of times.  Lots of times I've thought I was wrong only to find out that I was right in the beginning.

          PP he was a freakin big wolf boy, I would need a backhoe! I know we avoided a lot of future pain this way, and that is a comfort. I guess it is well that I outlived him, that was touch and go once too. I had 12 excellent years with him. He was never sick once.

              This is certainly something to hold onto Whalen. Remember this and that you gave him a great life and good home.

                      He had a great dog life! Always an open dog door and no fence, all the deer and turkeys you could chase. That is a great comfort, my wife has taken that as her great comfort too. Auggie was always smilling, every body mentioned that he actually smiled when he saw somebody new.

                            Whalen I know exactly how you feel. Oskar was a rescue dog too, he was our very special little pup, we got him at 9 months after he had been badly beaten and treated by the family who had him. We got 6 years of the perfect company from him, he knew he was safe with us and he repaid us in so man ways. It was me who took him to the vets they did the scan and his liver was completely ****ed, my OH was away in Ireland and I had to call in tears, i didn't know what to do I was distraught. We had one last night with him, then it was done when i was at work, if I was there I couldn't have done it. I still think about Osakr, i could never forget him as he was such an important part of our lives, he was our first dog together, he was so special, I put so much time and effort into him. Even now over a year later, I still think of him every day, I only remember the good times, when he used to come up to me and jump on me for cuddles, his cheeky face, the excitement on his face when he got in the car!

                            It was hard a first, we got another dog, Alfie the English Springer spaniel, who I love to death, he has his own character, he is Alfie not Oskar and we love him to death. So itis hard, i know what you are going through as some just feel more special than others, Oskar was one of those, but I love Alfie and he is a true peoples dog. Now I only remember Oskar with happiness and not sadness, ofc I miss him but Alfie helped grieving and now we have him, but Oskar is always there, he will never go away.

                            You will be ok mate, hang in there

                              Thanks skell18, I can only wish for the time when I can dwell on the great things, there were many! Right now its just the image of him fighting for that last breath while laying in our laps, the vets where super though, just that void right now to get through, my wife is pretty distraught. I have soldiered through some bad times last couple of years, though all the material things lost don't really matter compared to unconditional love. I am amazed at the emotional and physical toll that a great loss can bring.

                              All of you are special to me, I am so sorry for the blowup that has fractured our little group, there have been many over the years here, I know, but this lull has been an especially taxing. I apparently do not have much of a life elsewhere, pity that. I can no longer send up a GN batsignal, damn flesh filters!

                                I know what you are going through mate. It will come trust me, it will take time, its hard but it will come, I have been there. The one thing I always think about though is what my OH went through having to take him to the vets, I wasn't there, but I was there when they found his liver all messed up though, so we have both been there for horrible events.

                                Thinking of you mate.
