Lost my riding buddy today
Our 9 yr old Maltepoo "Duke" has been in a great deal of pain & hasn't eaten for over a week. He's been at the vets on IV fluids & pain meds since last Wednesday. Today they did an ultrasound and found two large tumors in his lymph nodes as well as liver & pancreas damage. Nothing could be done without putting him through a lot more pain so we decided to put him to sleep. He will be missed...
As a dog lover with 3 little ones of my own, I feel your pain. May Duke run free forever in the green field in the sky. (corny I know, but thats how I imagine animals I've lost and it makes me feel better)Originally Posted by DougTx

Oh man that stinks. My condolences. I had to put down my first dog a few years back and it was very tough on me and my daughter. And he was 14 and had been in tough shape for a while so we knew it was coming. We got another puppy about 2 months later and it helped a lot. Still not the same dog though...

I feel you loss and pain. I have a tree outback with 5 cats buried around it.
All were my buddies. A couple made it to 15 years old. They are all missed.
These little guys really get into our hearts.

I feel your pain..... we adopted a our Maltipoo puppy 'Scout" last year. He invaded our house and our hearts. They are a great and feisty breed. My guy thinks he is a Golden retriever or a German Shephard, quite the character. As soon as the pain eases, go out and find a new pal. It won't erase the pain, but it allows you to move into a good zone in your heart and mind. Sorry for your loss.

Bummer, man. Sorry for your loss. I know I love my dog like a child, I can't imagine not having him around.
Doug, Sorry to hear about Duke. I enjoyed seeing him enjoy your four eye in the game photos. I know how you feel as I have had to put down a few animals that were more a part of me than some of my own family. R.I.P Duke.

It's hard when you lose a good pet. My sister had a dog she got as a puppy as a graduation present in 1995. She went off to college and he buddied up to me. He had to be put down in 2012, that was hard to take. I feel for your loss.
1984 Mustang GT owned since 1991 (first car). Mercury Mountaineer GT-40P engine, some suspension mods, currently undergoing a five lug SN95 brake upgrade and more suspension mods. Some minor body and interior mods have been done as well.

Sorry to hear that. It can be hard to loose a dog. We lost our pom this summer. Kids took it kinda hard for a little while. But it's part of owning pet though, they don't last forever, unless maybe you have a pet tortoise that will live longer than most humans will.

Sorry for your loss. I think that the loss felt in loosing them is the highest price to pay for having a pet, but in the end the joy they bring more then justifies it.
When the pain fades you'll still have all those great memories.
Sorry to hear about your dog Duke. We have lost a few pets as well.
Rob
Lost both my dogs
I lost both of my Yorkies just a couple months apart.................I know the pain
Sorry to hear. We had to put down our dog several years ago. Not fun at all....
They really do become like kids.
