Welcome to all Dog lovers & generally Canine minded Folk. I have started this to enable a Thread to be used-in the Pet section with a title 'I love Dogs' so there will be no problems with attracting the right Posters, and the 'wrong Posters' give it a swerverCool. I am mainly a working Dog Lover, I have had-J/Russells, Retrievers, Lurchers. Currently have 2 White Cockapoo's. Mum & Daughter. Not my kind of Dogs(at first) the OH fell in love with the Breed a year after losing the Retriever. Now I couldn't imagine life without them. You either love Dogs or don't, if you do then life without them really is empty. I feel for the none Dog Folk, not knowing the joys of owning Dogs. But I'm not stupid enough to believe just because I love em everyone should. So if you would like to talk Canine, please be my guestSmile

Thank you for the kind words BT.  As you say they are all special.

All my boy's have been from rescue centers over the years (7 so far) Here's a picture of our old boy and young one we have had for 8 years and 2 years respectively.

We got our first dog a jrt 12 1/2 years ago from the blue cross he fitted into our family like a glove, unfortunately he got doggy dementia 12 months ago not the same dog but still our special boy, last Thursday we took him to the vets as he had gone down hill so much over the past couple of months getting stressed at anything frightened and then started toileting in the house. He didn’t know where he was 1/2 of the time and the other 1/2 he was sleeping. We did the best thing for him and had him put to sleep omg how hard that was, he really touched our hearts and was so very special. Although devastating  we are also pleased he is now at peace.

His favorite place was gwithian sand dunes chasing rabbits so will be scattering his ashes on the dunes so he can chase rabbits forever

RIP my boy

KevinH how heartbreaking. Thoughts and prayers are with you. Be grateful you were allowed to choose for him and not watch his bewilderment and struggle. It will take some time for the pain to ease but don't hold back on the memories, he was a very special part of your life 😢

Very sad to say goodbye to our canine pals isn't it. They bring so much companionship to us.

You’ll never forget him, Kevin, but time will help ease the hurt.

You did the right and best thing for him and Gwithian is a special spot to say your farewells.

Sorry to hear your sad news, It's never easy, we have been there a few times now over the years so know what you are going through. You still have the memories though and can take great comfort in giving him a second chance and a nice life when you adopted him.

Sad news, Kevin,  he looks a real character!

We know exactly how you're feeling. It's the worst (and only bad) thing about sharing our lives with our canine friends.

We'll be thinking of you.
