Lost a Best Friend Today

[msbhammer]

Lisa and I would like to thank you all for all the kind words. This isnt something you post on a boating forurm, but Lisa and I consider you all close friends and almost family. I'm holding up good. Lisa on the other hand is a total mess. Zoey was a great loving pet that had a great life at the beach. She's home now burried under a nice shaded tree. I'd like to share a few more pics. of Zoey just before she pasted on.
Thanks again guys.
Mike and Lisa.

I know what it's like. I was in your shoes almost a year ago to the day. Mine was 13 and got a brain tumor. She went down hill so fast I didn't know what to do. I took the loss of her harder than I do when I lose a family member. Family loves you because there family, but our 4 legged companions love us for us.

I've been sitting here looking at this screen for five minutes and I can't think what to say. The situation just brings back a lot of memories. Stinky is right you are doing the right thing for your friend. My thoughts are with you and your family.

So sorry to hear about this. Been there recently myself. I still haven't gotten used to walking in the front door. I keep expecting a friendly greeting from the old mutt. The only comfort comes from knowing I did the best thing for her.

Hammer,

I was once told by somebody that when you bring a pet into your home you're inviting a small tragedy into your life. Indeed, this is true. You're at the tragic part of it now. Knowing this why do we do it? Well, you have 10 years full of reasons why.

We had to put down a dog a couple years ago and we only had her a short while, but it still tore us up. We have a 10 year old lab now and I'm dreading the day we have to put him down. That day will come (Lord willing, I will outlive him) but until then I'm going to make a special effort to enjoy every moment we have with him so that I will have plenty of memories to bring to mind when he does finally go.

Hang in there buddy. This is something that only time will heal.

My heart goes out to you and the Mrs.
