Saying goodbye to an old friend….

I'm so sorry you lost your buddy. May he RIP. These threads always tear me up.

Feel free to tell us a bit about who he was and what he was like. I did whenever one of mine passed (4 times now) and it seemed to help, at least I thought so. RIP.

Bud was a very sweet and charismatic old fellow. He was found abandoned and desheveled with matted hair and stickies all over him. The girl who found him cleaned him up and gave him to my son the first day of his freshman year in high school. Bud was the therapist through the decline of Shari’s previous marriage, the death of Jamey’s paternal grandparents, an aunt who loved him and spoiled him, AND his dad within 3 years time, and through Jamey’s injury, amputation, and recovery…

Bud was THE emotional support dog to beat all others….

And guarded his food bowl from the other 3 dogs almost to his last breath!! It was funny….Bud KNEW I would move him along from the bowl (there’s 4 bowl) if wasn’t eating, so he would lick the food and the bowl to try and fool us!!

Te extrañaré viejo, mi querido perro….
I’ll miss you old man. My beloved dog…

He was truly one in a million, but then again….
Aren’t they all?

We had one with a similar story, 56 we found almost starved to death wandering along route 56 (hence the name). She became a fierce defender of her newfound home and was so happy she had a place it took about a year to convince her to go on walks with the others since she was afraid we would not take her back home. RIP crazy girl.

Sounds like you had a very good friend for a good long time, cherish the memories. It's a sad fact of life that dogs don't usually outlive us.
 
Making me well up. So sorry for you!

We did the same for our Goldie in July. He was 11, too soon. No one expected it that soon. He was our third Goldie but he was the most perfect ever. My daughter took it the hardest. She's dealt with depression for years and he was always there for her. We had him euthanized at home. We were all with him, and all my daughter's friends came by to tell him bye too. We buried him in our backyard next to our previous boy.

We now have a new pup, half Goldie half Samoyed. He's a wild puppy but is even more affectionate than our previous. It's still hard, it's like losing a family member, a very close family member.
 
Sorry for your loss. Dogs are unconditional, they just want to be with you.
 
Whew, I know that is tough! It's heart breaking anytime we lose something that loves us unconditionally!
I lost my little buddy about 5 years ago and it absolutely broke my heart.
