I do not think my wife and I will be able to either. We have been married 20 years and 17.5 of those were with Buddy. He is a huge part of who and what we are.

Not my dog but I have never seen a dog that loves snow as much as this one.

This is the worst time of my life everyone. My dog Buddy passed away last Sunday December 14th. The week before Buddy started not acting like himself and would not eat or drink and seemed delusional and off balance. We rushed him to the 24hr Vet Hospital in Tampa. He stayed there all week and we visited him 3-4 times a day all week. Finally on Friday morning he seemed a lot better, giving my wife kisses and able to stand up. The doctor said his liver is failing and there is nothing they could really do. t
The doctor released Buddy back into our care on Saturday afternoon. We got all his med's, special food ect and went home. He would not eat or drink from his bowl so we were hand and srynge feeding him hoping the meds would kick in and we could nurse him back to himself. Late that night things turned for the worse and he could not stand up, nor would eat or drink and he could not control his body functions. Buddy also started groining and moning and yelping. We rushed him back to the 24hr Vet Hospital at around 5am. They tried a few things and he was basically out of it. It was time and the Vet suggested we let him go.
Buddy passed away in our arms at around 8am Sunday moring.

My wife and I are so lost with out our best friend. We hurt so bad from missing him, we are numb and can not focus on anything. Buddy was 17 and a half years old and lived a long happy healthy life. I learned so much from Buddy about how to have a great carefree attitude. I really feel God put him with my wife and I early in our marriage or a reason. My wife and I are having a hard time coping with our loss.
Please pray for us!

Mike, I too feel for what you and your wife are going through. I know this does not make it any easier but 17 is very old for a dog, you guys were extremely lucky to have Buddy for that long and it sounds like you had a lot of great years. After such a long a time it it will take time to heal your hurt. If you are like me some of the hardest times are when you come home, and there is no one to greet you. That's what I hated the most, being the first to arrive and no little tails wagging and dancing around excited. When I would travel I often had friends keep my Yorkies at their house, I would almost demand that the dogs be brought back to the house before I arrived home. Most of the time driving home from the airport we would be excited talking about seeing the dogs. For the little they ask of us they give so much in return. Making the decision to let Buddy go was one of the most unselfish things you will ever be asked to do, you put his comfort above your emotional needs. In the future you might change your mind about another dog, after my first one died I could not stand it and got a new puppy a few weeks later, then when my third one left us I said no more and threw everything out, that lasted a few months and then I realized I wanted the company of another little four legged friend. Life just seems better with a dog. Please tell you wife, I am thinking about her. Donna

Mike,

So sorry for your loss. Life is always better with our dogs in them. They remind us of who we can and should be, and to slow down and smell.... Well you get the picture. Just remember the good times, and know you're a better person for having him in your life.

Sorry for your loss Mike - I know how devastating it is.

At this time, I know you can't even imagine getting another dog, but as has been said, that may change over time. In fact, I'd be surprised if it didn't.

We lost our English Mastiff last year on Valentine's Day. He was only a year old, but we went through a lifetime of ups and downs with him in that short year. After he passed, my wife and I both agreed that we couldn't even think about getting another puppy. A month later, we brought home Roxy, our female Mastiff.

Sorry to hear about Buddy,Mike. 17 + years is a long life for a dog. I bet those were 17+ happy years for the 3 of you. Think about that part,all the good times.I know it's tough now,but on down the road,possibly consider another pup,just a thought. Not a replacement,you could never replace Buddy,but maybe,just maybe,another little ball of fur might make you smile.Take care. Robert and Karen.

 

[Madpoodle]

Sorry to hear that Mike. . My Husky was 16+ yrs old when the time came, and like you, I was there with him until the end. Toughest thing I have ever done, I still get sad when I think about him, but I know he went knowing he was loved, and would be sorely missed. Took me 15 years to get over the loss, but now it looks like we have a new furball in our lives. He's up on the bed at the moment, a place he knows he is not allowed. After reading this, I think I'll let him stay there awhile..
