Re: Our dog Cleo
Shawsee, I am sorry for your lose :'(
I had my Dog Merrick since he was 5 weeks old, truely my best friend that I was with every day for the last 11 years. Went through some of the worse and best times of my life with him. damn, I used to cudle with him @ night when we were sleeping. He was fine after my 1st daughter was born but when my 2nd daughter was around 9 months he started chewing there toys.. I was in the kitchen one after noon and herd him growling @ my youngest daughter because she was sitting on his bone. The next day I had to bring him to the pound. Even though I knew he would never hurt either of them, I could not take that chance. That was with out a doubt the hardest thing I have ever had to do.

Re: Our dog Cleo
had a lab for 13 years , and went through the same thing as all above. i don't know if you were with your dog when they gave the shot, but it is quick and not a whimper. i was holding mine in my lap and stroking his head and he just went limp, no noise or struggle. this gave me some peace of mind.

Re: Our dog Cleo
My condolences. Over the weekend I noticed that the grave marker I made for our dog Max had fallen over. Me and the kids made it out of wood when he died. I picked it up and found that it had rotted off at ground level. Made me think about how long it had been. It's over eight years now but I still miss him. I'm getting a little watery eyed as I'm writing this...
Remember the good times. Steve P.

Re: Our dog Cleo
I feel ya! Came home a year ago to find my pepper ( brindle bulldog) laying in the driveway. I/we had just gotten back from my ex wife's house and the girls and I got out and found her there. Not a good way to start the weekend. You're right, they are part of the family and even now, I get a little misty thinking about her.
