very sorry and sad to hear that jack...

my beagle and my parent's beagle (chump, who I've grown up with) are my 2 best friends in this world.

makes me sad knowing that chump is now 11 and not doing real good but he's doing better than he was around xmas...

Sorry Jack.
I used to have 2 dogs some years ago. Lost them both? :shrug:

 

[RAZ]

Sorry Jack, have 3 myself, have had dogs my entire life., can definitely relate. Condolences to your family as well, just picture Gracie crossing the rainbow bridge running and playing without a care or ailment in the world, biting some rottie in the ass and giving you a wink. It's worked for me when I lost a dog or had to put one down. They are just as unique as we are.
sorry
Raz

I am very sorry for your loss. I know just how you feel. Pets become part of the family and they are always there for you no matter what. They truly give you "UNCONDITIONAL LOVE".

Any pet is same as family (sometimes even more - at least they stay loyal to ya)

Cheers !!!

I am sorry to hear bout Gracie. I recently lost a pet and it was hard on my whole family. Pets are a big part of a household. I am sure she enjoyed the time she was with u and ur family. She will remain with u always in ur heart and memories.

I am saddened about your loss, Jack. We had two Schi-Tsus die about 6 months apart a few years ago.Had them since they were puppies.they were around 12 when they died.We got another Schi-tzu who was a rescue shortly after that.She did not deserve her former owners.We love her so much, as I know you did yours.
They give us so much pleasure and love, then they have to leave us.Really heart-wrenching.

 

[mercury]

Meant to say her former owners, whoever you are you creeps, did not deserve her.

jack,

at one time i thought that dog owners were ridiculous about how they treated their dogs. but 5 years ago we got a dog, who is now part of our family. we would be heart broken if something happened to her.
so now jack i fully understand the loss you are feeling & you have our heart felt sympathies for your loss.

 

[macavoy]

My condolences Jack. I have a chocolate lab, Judd,who is my best friend in the world. My thoughts are with you. Gracies in doggie heaven...not a bad place from what I hear.....

 

[EXTRAPOLATER]

sorry to hear it, Jack
death is always in bad taste

 

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Hmmm Must admit I prefer animals to most adults. Always in a great mood,always glad to see ya,and 100% loyal to the end,no questions asked. Excluding children whose traits are similiar adults are just about the extreme in all catagories.
While most say I don't want another pet and go through this again,the best thing you can do is buy a puppy just like her and the pain will subside quickly. Trust me on this one,Jack.

 

[TJBELL]

Jack, sorry to hear about your loss. (It's the ONLY bad part of having a pet/loyal family member)

Time will heal!!!!

 

[TORONTO-VIGILANTE]

my sympathies Jack....

yeah, i had a yellow lab that i grew up with for 12 years.....my dad had him put down about 3 years ago....

damn near ripped my heart out.....

haven't owned another dog since.

don't wanna go through that kinda heart break again.

 

[msdee]

Jack, Gracie has crosssed over the bridge to a wonderful dog heaven, where she will be so happy and healthy. Sorry for your loss. I have been there, I know what you feel.

 

[Penguinfan]

My condolences as well Jack, certainly you gave her a good life though.

Jack, so sorry to hear about Gracie ....... remember other posts you have made about her, and even hearing you speak so highly of her at the SB parties.


some people may think this is sick and warped, but there is not much difference at all in losing a child and losing a long time pet...they are both family, and it hurts like hell.

hang tough darlin', and hopefully will be seeing you and your *troops* in Jan./Feb.
