Lost a best friend...

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!

Like how to lift his leg on a pink Flamingo?

Tuff enough when they are old but even worse when they are gone too soon and too fast. Very sorry for you and your sons loss.

Condolances for sure. I am dreading having to have that convirsation with my son in the future. However, when it is such a young dog and child it is very tough.

I am reminded of this article :

I also feel that pets play an important part in a child's life. It teaches the value of life and the permanence of death.

Can we get a NSFW tag on posts like this. Stupid allergies.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry for your loss. I've lost several dogs, but usually to old age. Always hurts.

I have an Aussie AND a Border Collie. Great dogs, especially around kids, and smart too...

I'm really sorry to hear about this. Hard enough to lose the dog as I know they are family, but I can only imagine how tough it was to have that discussion with your son as well. Take care...

I lost my dog to a car late last year as well,,,very hard to deal with and very saddening, very sorry for your loss. I find i like my dog more than i like most human beings,,,,so sorry my friend.

I think it was Mickey Rooney who said every child should see puppies born and have to put an old friend down once in their life. I agree. IMO, it teaches them the cycle of life we all are held too.

From one dog owner / lover to another, I'm so very sorry for you and your family's loss. You are all in my prayers.
