My sweet sweet puppy has died

[99ss]

Thank you so much all of your for your words of comfort. I really really do appreciate it. Words can not describe the love and comfort Jake brought to my family. If you can picture Gods love then you have an idea of how blessed we were to be in his life. I will have another. He wont be Jake but he will be special in his own way as Jake was. He gave hugs and just looked at you with all the love in the world in his eyes. I am so shattered... But I will move forward and love another Newfy again and be loved by one. It's the only way I will get by this and for my kids as well. If they have another little soul to love and take care of it will help them to recover. They are 12 and 13, he is all they have ever known.

I'll be starting on the Roadrunner soon although at this point I dont have much enthusiasm for it.

Jake was a 10 yr old newfoundland in perfect health. I came home and he never came to see me so I went looking for him and found him laying in the spot he always laid down to wait for us to come home. My kids are heartbroken and I am much the same. He and I have been together for the past 10 yrs everyday. Brave courageous wondferful dog who gave us his love every minute of everyday he was alive.
I've buried a friend from cancer last week and now this. The most unconditional love ever .... I am at a loss.

I'm so sorry to here about both the recent losses, as you probably well know I'm a dog lover too... RIP Jake you will be missed... 99ss you have my deepest heart felt condolences, for your losses to you, your family & friends...

I am so sorry to hear this.I have been through this 3 times with our Golden Retrievers and I can say it never gets any easier.We currently have 3 more Goldens so I know I will have to get through it again.We got 11-12 years out of our dogs before we had to put them all down do to sickness.It is so hard to go through and only true animal lovers can ever understand how loyal,faithful and devoted are buddies are to us every minute of every day.You will meet again some day!

Prayers and condolences sent, man how I dread that day

Sorry for the hole that remains. This is probably hardest on the kids as this is their first close loss. It doesn't matter how bad your day has been. Pull in the driveway, rain or shine (mostly rain) and your best friend is there to greet you with tail waging. Remember how he always tried to get you to play with him when your working under the car. Keep your familly close. Best well wishes.

Sorry to hear it. I had a Black Lab die less than 6 months after being neutered. Prime of life. Right before she was injected to be put down, literally on her death bed, my wife asked her if she wanted to play frisbee. She wagged her tail, started panting and could just about pick her head off the table. Poor girl.

Really sorry for your loss.

99ss,you know what happens when you spell DOG backwards

Sorry for your family`s loss,he will always be with you and your family`s memory`s.

Sorry to hear of your lose. I to am a animal lover and have 2 labs and have lost my best friend this past Christmas. It's still hard, crazy as it sounds I had him cremated cause it just deserved much more then the pet cemetery out back.

Sorry you lost your pal. My condolences to you and your family. I've always loved the big dogs and Newfies are so cool. I'm just now thinking of getting another dog after losing my Akita almost 15 years ago. I miss him every day, but I think God has a special place in heaven for the big dogs.

Sorry to hear of your loss....I have an 8yr old Siberian Husky and I am already dreading just thinking about when his day comes.

Sorry to hear it, 99ss. Pets can really rip your heart out.

It takes a special owner for a newfie. Mine named boo boo slobbered all the time but boy did he love my kids. He rocked the scales around 150. He passed from heart disease. I think about him now 20 years later. Sorry for your loss. They are great dogs.

 

[sdyer233]

condolences from the east coast, and from the son of a vet, i can say i feel you

 

[roadrunnerman]

Chris, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved friend. You can take some comfort that the place where he always greeted you was his place to say good-bye. I still have fond memories of pets I lost when I was a teenager. Both cats and dogs.

 

[hammond472]

Sorry for your loss. It may be too soon but the pound puts down a lot of great dogs daily. I have found that a rescued friend helps curb the pain and I have got some of my best dogs there. Each one is unique and can never be replaced but I just can't imagine life without one or two of them by my side. If there is a heaven I'm sure it is filled with more dogs than people.

 

[pabster]

I'm so sorry for your loss. I can't imagine how I'll deal when my dog passes on. All the best in such a tough time.

What really is killing me is the fact I wasn't there for him when he died. The vet said it wouldn't have made any difference but I feel as though I let him down. Something he would never have done to me. I am calling about a rescue dog right now.. 2 1/2 year old boy that the owner is moving and cant take with. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to go through. I am not sleeping or eating well at all. Jake was the finest person I knew, far better a person than I am. I cant stop crying, my kids haven't been to school for 2 days. I know I haven't been in here much lately and then I come in here to cry about a personal loss. Sorry guys I've been working on my Camaro and know there aren't a lot of fans in here and I just wanted to not have any animosity from myself or anyone else. I can be harsh sometimes and for that I am very sorry as well. I thought as I got older I would harden and crust over.. but it seems I only get softer and mushy. The ignorance of youth has given way to humble and emotional and now I cant handle this. I know time will pass and it will get better but right now it doesn't seem that way and I just want him back.

( this is the only forum I post in though, I dont go on camaro boards) Most of the guys in here are older and more my age and it is a better crowd

I hear ya. Much as I hate to admit it I water up more too. And I used to think I was a badass.I think its more like Einstiens theory of relativity. For every action theres an equal and opposite reaction. So the harder we are the softer we are if you catch my drift.Its gonna hurt a while. I watered up watching this videohttp://news.sky.com/story/1093711/tornado-survivor-finds-dog-during-tv-interview[video]http://news.sky.com/story/1093711/tornado-survivor-finds-dog-during-tv-interview[/video]

Sorry for your loss. A close pet is like family, I cried when my last one passed at the Vet.

R.I.P. to him.
