I still get dust in my eye from a dog gone 22 years ago.
Drank a bottle of Jack Daniel's the day I put him down...didn't help, but seemed like the thing to do at the time.
No fun.
Gawd I don't envy you. One of the hardest, most brutal things a man can endure. It rips your heart out and stomps it. Those little buddies are truly crafted by our Creator for the benefit of man. They demonstrate loyalty, love, contentment, happiness and patience and teach us lessons every day.
Sorry to hear that Ken. Unfortunately we're doing the same thing Friday. My daughter is not doing very well with it either. 14 years is a great run though.
