Had to put down my Brittany, Watson, this morning. Thought he just needed an antihistamine or something. X-ray showed an enlarged heart and mass pressing on his airways. He was a great pal. I got him after my divorce and he saved my life.

Those of us who love dogs, understand that the real price we pay for their love & friendship is their passing... Been there, done that... Sorry for your loss.

Sorry there Bill. As I get older, I find that in quiet times, a number of memories creep in, among them old friends, Snort, Maggs, Bugsy, Brock, Troubles, Blitz, [English Jack Russells,] Redd, Hankey, Belle, Amstel, [Foxhounds.] All working dogs.

Bill, Sorry for your loss I had to put down my old Brittany this past summer. I have a new puppy now he just turned 6 months old Monday. He can't replace my others but he sure can make me smile. If I can say I believe you need to be owned by another. Good luck.
I have never lost a friend or even a good friend when losing a dog. usually it's a best friend. really tears me up to lose one of my dog's. Even the one's that give me ulcers!
Hi Bill,sorry for your loss and know what you are feeling. I have wonderful memories of dogs stretching back 50 years. Friend once told me that chances are you will outlive your dog. Strange comfort but true.
Sorry for your loss. I had to put my shorthair down not to long ago. Got a pup coming next week to liven up the place. You did the humane thing for your pal and didn't let him suffer.
