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.

Bill,
So sorry to hear about Watson, tough to lose a good friend!

Bill, terrible to lose one, I feel for you. How old was he?

He looks so much like my setter laying there on the leather couch.

My thoughts are with you.

You have my sympathy.

Sorry to hear your bad news.

I know exactly what it feels like to have to put your friend/part of the family down. Wish there was something I could say to help.

Thanks fellas. Watson was 11 1/2. My first Brittany, Molly, made it to 15.

i do believe that the reason god made a dogs life so short is so that we can love more of them

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.

Sorry for your loss. I know how you are feeling.
Take care.
Regards

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.

My sincerest condolences. Been there, done that...and it is one difficult task, for sure.

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.

Bill I'm very sorry for your loss.

I just had to put down my lil girl she never even saw her 2 yr old birthday.

My heart goes out to you.The loss of a pup dog takes alot out of you,but the love they give is well worth it.

God Bless,and take care.

The price we pay for a dogs love and loyalty is that we
bury them over and over again...

I have a friend in Pendleton that has 5 week's old Brittany's pups, very very birdy. He is Wayne York of Oregun smithing, a former Oregon State Police trooper who retired and went into gunsmithing full time.

Sorry Bill, know how you feel.

hate hearing about dogs dying. Best thing for a broken heart is a new puppy.

Sorry to hear the sad news.

Sounds like Mr Watson was a true winner.

I didnt see this post ,sorry my friend ,i know the feeling ,we will hunt again with our friends in the valhalla .Please find a puppie ,i love labs ,but any dog will help you .
