BGA so sad man, sorry to hear about your buddy. We rescued our 1st dog in March of '07. She was 2 months old when we got her, now 2.5 yrs. I try not to think of the day we will have to separate. Just can't imagine. My sister just lost her 1st dog this year. His name was Toot Toot and he was 17 or 18 yrs old. Put it this way, I'm 36 and she got that dog when we were both still living at home....I was 19 and barely out of high school. She found him on the side of the road and blew the horn at him...hence the name "Toot toot". That was very sad since he was always there for so long. She waited a couple months and now has a new addition.
Sorry BGA!

BGA...so sorry to hear of your loss...incredible how attached we become to them, but they EARN every bit of it...there's no animal on earth more loyal than a LAB...the only time my kids saw me cry was on the death of a 14 yr old several years back...he ATTACKED FULL OPEN a Bull Mastiff much larger than him one day in my defense...while I still miss him and will never forget him, this gal here has my heart nowadays...
   My youngest daughter said, "Daddy, I think I know why dogs don't live as long as people...if they lived too long, their people would die and they wouldn't have anybody to take care of them." You'll know when it's time...

Bygracealone, I read you are adopting another good friend from a shelter.
We just adopted a two year old female Golden Ret. Her owner passed away, and the wife of the man could not keep her because she works and did not have much time to play with her and give her the attention she needs. She was kept on a small yard for about six months until the day we adopted her. The day we took her home, she spent a couple of weeks running and playing like crazy with all the energy and happiness of being able to play with our 10 y.o. Retriever Marmol. Now she is a happy and playfull friend. We kept her the same name because we feel this dog still belongs to the man who passed away, we will just take care of his dog until the day she goes and reunites with him "up there". Her name is Lola. Thanks for adopting a dog from a shelter, that is a commendable thing to do and he or she will be your friend forever.

Thanks JJ and Cy. We'll see how it all works out, but we're definitely looking forward to having another pooch in the family. Waiting on the rescue organizations to get in touch with us...

My sympathies to you and your family on your loss. I have gone through that several times with dogs and cats. Never easy and they can never be replaced, but you will know when it is right to bring a new love into your life.
