Lost a best friend...

[dorsum]

Sorry to hear.

You explained it to your little guy well. That's something only a DADDY can do!
Sorry for your loss, been there and done that.
When my youngest was 5 the phone company was here running a new line. Asswad service guy leaves the back gate open and our Pomeranian got out. My youngest was trying to catch her when she ran into the street and got hit. He saw it happen and the aftermath which was not pleasant.
As awful as it was I was thankful he wasn't five feet closer to her, I would have lost my son as well. I don't know what was worse, the hurt over losing the dog or the realization just how close he had come.
Condolences.

Sorry for your loss

Hug your kids then hug your dogs. If you can do both at the same time, do it!

Wow. All I can say is Prayers to you guys, brother; prayers.

[Ah Pook]

Sad. Loosing a dog never gets easy. I'm betting he has a great life.

I'm terribly sorry to hear this, my condolences. Losing a dog to age or illness sucks bad enough, no dog deserves to go this way. I'd be devastated to lose one of ours.

[Squeeze]

Thank you again gentlemen. I really appreciate it.

Burt, I'm not sure how I would've handled the situation your son was in. That's just about as bad as it gets. Definitely glad your son didn't get hit by the car. I know everything happens for a reason, whether we know it or not. I just hope the good Lord never makes me go through this again.

Damn...losing a dog is tough. Sorry for your loss.

We all get it, and lots of us are grieving with you. Thanks for posting a pic of your boys. What a pair! I'm so sorry for your loss. Your pup reminds me of JD, my Australian Cattle Dog who passed away not to long ago. I expect the JD is showing Bullet the ropes on the other side!
