Hi Joe,

Sorry to hear about your dog. We had to have our yellow lab, Boomer, put down about a year and a half ago. He was 11 yrs old and still a pup. He developed cancer in his front shoulder. The vet said we could amputate but didn't know whether the cancer spread further so it could be a lost cause anyway. We couldn't wrap our heads around the thought of that, even though he was in terrible pain and just dragged his front leg. The vet came to our house the following week and we put him down under his favorite maple tree in the back yard. Hardest thing we ever had to do.

Nothing I can say to make you feel better, but felt compelled to share.

sorry to hear that, but wasn't anything wrong with Roo, only 10 and just gave up the ghost, was running around the day before

Sorry to hear that, I understand and feel your pain.

Some days I feel all rung out...

That is sad, especially since he wasn't sick and you had no idea.
I have a black lab and they are such wonderful creatures.
So sorry that Roo is gone.

Dude-
I was wondering where you were, and hoping I did not piss you off so much in my last reply to your 'pity party' post that you split....

I am sorry to hear of the passing ot the roo dog, labs are so cool, it must be hard....

I guess you never know with pets....they will surprise us right up until the end...and many will live longer than we think when we first get them as puppies...or kittens...or ferrets....or rabbits....

something about labs and goldens....they just seem to love people and the outdoors...

Here's to the Roo Dog...

Peace

Hi Joe,

Sorry to hear about poor Roo. I've had to have a couple of dogs put down. It's never easy when you lose a pet. They become almost like family.

Sorry to hear about the death in your family, it's always so heartbreaking and difficult to lose a pet no matter the circumstances, but to lose one who appears to be happy and healthy one day and gone the next must be overwhelmingly difficult! We've always had at least two dogs in the house so have had our share of funerals so I know how you must be feeling. Sincere condolences.

Dogs don't care if the house is messy
