PrincessNana 15 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 I don't usually share , but I'm so sad today that I can't stop crying and I just need to put my thoughts down. I know everyone has been here at one time or another, but My precious George who is my 95 lb., 14 year old lab is going to a better place tomorrow. He can no longer pick himself up or hold his body up to take care of business. Yesterday he started refusing all food and water. I should have taken him to the vet on Friday, but I wasn't ready to say goodbye. He has been the sweetest, most gentle but also protective pet there ever was. He came to live with us in 2010 when my father in law died. He has been my protector, even when I didn't realize I needed it and he has been a gentle friend to every bird and squirrel in our neighborhood. I'm having a hard time saying goodbye to my gentle giant. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Very sorry for your loss. I have lost a couple of my camping buddies, too, and know the pain you feel. It is my hope to be reunited with them someday. I like to remember the good times and believe they made me a better human being. God bless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PrincessNana 15 Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Thank you all for your kind words and thoughts. It's always hard to lose a pet, as most of us know, they are such an integral part of our lives. It helps to have a place to journal my thoughts. But, on an up note, we will be raising a toast to George on Wednesday with my Mah Jongg group. I can't even tell you how many times he cleared all of our side tables, full of wine and snacks, with a happy wag of his tail. But the girls would never hear of me putting him up during our game. RIP George....we will miss you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

caveat lector 181 Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 Dogs are so great. It is unfair that their lifespan does not match ours. Hope you are ok Quote Link to post Share on other sites
