sheep_herder ★ Posted February 21, 2018 Share #1 Posted February 21, 2018 Thank you for making our lives better for 13 years 8 months. We'll miss you!! He began suffering from DM a while back, and his quality of life diminished rapidly the last two days. This last photo was taken earlier in the week with one of his favorite beds, a garbage can lid. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JerrySTL ★ Posted February 21, 2018 Share #5 Posted February 21, 2018 Our dog Max has DM. Started a couple of months ago. I bought him some doggie shoes so that he doesn't slip and fall on our hardwood floors as much. He'll be 12 YO in April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airehead Posted February 21, 2018 Share #13 Posted February 21, 2018 My heart hurts with you this morning. What a special friend--- one we all knew and loved. As you well know, it is hard to lose a loved one, but take comfort in the fact that those we love deeply are never truly gone. Thinking of you and Mrs. Sheep Herder today. Take the puppy for a romp for such is the circle of life and love. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post 2Far ★ Posted February 21, 2018 Popular Post Share #14 Posted February 21, 2018 A kindly old man died peacefully and found himself resurrected in the middle of a country road. And behold! Running toward him was his favorite dog! He knelt and embraced his long lost pet in tearful reunion. After some time, the dog seemed anxious to walk the road in what seemed to be the direction of the rising sun. The man followed. Before long, they came to a fence of wrought gold, with pearly gates, behind which there stood mansion upon mansion. The gatekeeper, a tall man in flowing white robes, greeted the man, and welcomed him to enter. "But what exactly is this place?" said the man, who had been a lifelong believer. "This," said the gatekeeper, is Heaven. But you'll have to leave him outside. We have a strict no-pets policy." The man stood in confusion for some moments. His face became grim. "No thanks," he said. "I'll take my chances with my dog." For a long time, the man and his dog wandered down the road. At last they came to an unpretentious farming community with no fences or gates of any kind. What appeared to be a contented old farmer was sitting on a stool next to an old-fashioned hand operated water pump. The dog ran up to the farmer, who petted him, and gave him some water. "Where is this place?" asked the man. "This is Heaven," answered the farmer. "It's all around you. You've been in it, or at least the outskirts of it ever since you died." "But that fellow back yonder behind the pearly gates said that place was Heaven." replied the man. "Nah, that's Hell," replied the farmer. "We leave the entrance there to weed out the hypocrites who'd leave their best friend behind." 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razors Edge ★ Posted February 21, 2018 Share #16 Posted February 21, 2018 The loss of a pet is always a hard one, but you can take comfort knowing his time on earth was full of love and happiness. Since they (and we) can't live forever, it is our responsibility to help them have the best life they can in their short time with us while they are making our lives immeasurably better. They are angels when on earth, and they become angels in heaven. Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirby Posted February 21, 2018 Share #17 Posted February 21, 2018 I am so sorry, SH. The loss of a loved animal companion is never easy. On the plus side, that dog lived the life for over 13 years! He was well loved and had space to run around in, and important jobs to do on the ranch. Still, I'm sorry that you have to go through the sadness.
