Keo took a turn for the worst this morning when I got up, she was rearly confused and in a lot of pain I did,nt think twice and got her to the Vets straight away, the Vet put her down and she died in my arms like Meg did with me telling her that her Daddy loves her, I know that I have made the right
decision but its still pain full and I car,nt stop beating myself up.
take care and God Bless

She is very happy and proud of you Eddie. She was suffering and you did the unselfish thing by letting her go to a place where she will feel no more pain. God bless you and may your own suffering diminish as you think of the fun and good times you had with this friend. dc

Dave my suffing will never deminish, within the last 6 months I have lost the best 2 dogs I have ever had and they got on well together thats why when Meg went I was,nt exspecting Keo to be long behind Her, Because Keo brought Meg up, I know it had to come but its still painfull when the time comes.
take care and God Bless

Eddie,
You made a difficult, but right decision--It was all about Keo's quality of life, and she was suffering.
Just think forward to the new pup, and all of the new memories you will have, along with all of the problems, etc.
God bless, buddy. We who have all had dogs in our lives, share in your grief.

I'm sorry to hear about Keo. I know it was a tough decision but it was the only right one. I've been through it my self, it's not easy. I'm sure Amber will be just what you need.

hey, mate,
If you keep your chin up too high, you might trip over something!! hehehhehhe
Time to redirect your head a bit---Perhaps you can dress warmly, and get into the shop for a bit each day?
Gotta get the body busy to take the mind off the sorrow!\

I can't remember, but I think it was Lee Harker who comforted me with a few words when my Cody died, I'll say the same thing for your dog;

"Good girl Keo, good girl"

Ed;

I am sorry for your loss. It is never easy to go through but know you are not alone. Everyone on this site is with you and you are in our thoughts.

Sorry Eddie and I hope that, in time, you have only happy memories of your two wonderful companions.

sarge

Eddie, I feel your pain and can't imagine what you are going through. I know they were both great dogs. Its so obvious how much you loved them. Keo just wanted to go see his buddy Meg. His heart was empty also. You did the right thing and time will help on the healing process. Prayers to you my friend.

Sorry for your loss, the last lab I lost took two weeks to get over, still miss him but enjoy the two year old I have now working the marsh with me.

sorry for your loss

Eddie - Sorry to hear of your loss brother. Godspeed.

This same performance, in daytime, would have to be looked at, shot at, missed, and then hurriedly fitted with an alibi."
Aldo Leopold in Sand County Almanac

I would like to thank everybody for thier prays and support for me at this difficult time in my life, I had to go to bed early last night has my head was banging, my thoughts turned to my 2 little girls I had just lost, I know this may sound silly because I have still got frances with me but with not having any dogs at this moment in time I feel so lonely. The joy and love that these 2 little girls gave to me was out of this world and I prayed to the Lord that one day we will be reunited .
take care and God Bless

Eddie,

So very sorry to hear of your loss.
I have never been to that place with my hounds (Alex and Ginger) but I know the time is fast approaching.

Know you did the right thing and hang in there.

You are in my thoughts.





Don't just do something, Stand there!

I am very sorry to hear the awful news Eddie, Just remember all that you gave to them as well as what they gave to you. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I would like to thank you for your support at this difficult time, Keo is now in the grave and as I was Digging it the tears was rolling down my eyes,
I think it is one of the hardest things I have had to do in my life, Keo was 13 years 10 months old and I have had her since she was 8 weeks old.
She was not a gundog but the best little house dog I have ever had and everybody love her but when Meg went I think she just gave up, Meg has been gone 6 months today.

Eddie,
Keep hanging in there. Amber is on her way. Thanks for your calls.
Paul

Paul Im hanging in there mate and Amber car,nt come a day to soon, not having any dogs in the house at the moment is weird and to quiet for me, and at the moment, everywhere I look I think to myself, Meg lay there or Keo lay there and this beats me up, so when I get Amber it will take my mind off things and help me with the Grief.
take care and God Bless

Eddie,

Sorry to hear of yet another loss. We lost two pets last year; an 18 year old cat and a 14 year old lab, it is very tough. But as was mentioned in another earlier post, the pain melts into memories. Knowing the day was coming, a few years ago my wife bought a Brittany Spaniel at a DU auction and more recently we got our kids a kitten for Christmas... things are starting to perk up around here.

Soon your new pup will arrive and the cycle will begin again.

My thoughts are with you, Keo and Meg.

Sincerely,

John

Thanks for your support John, we have only got the cat now but she is out of the house more than she is in, and she is still a bit wild and wont let you get to close to her, she is a law unto herself. so I car,nt wait for Amber to come and put some life back into the House.
At the moment theres only Frances and myself living in the house and its so quiet.
take care and God Bless

Hi Eddie,
I'm sorry for your loss as I lost one of my Great dogs last July,Sandy was her name,I will post some pic's in the future,but I went and bought a new pup right away,an impulsive buy maybe,but the new edition keeps me busy with my other lab Audie,like you and the rest of us we all can't forget best friends(our dogs) I never had a bad one but some were better than others! So take a Breath and be Glad she's in a better place and didn't suffer too long.When you go to your hunting spots you can reflect on your "HAPPY TIMES" that you and your dogs had! And when at home "RELAX and HAVE a PINT AND MANY A TOAST"
Its a hard thing but only a dog owner knows that!! Send us pic's when you pick a "NEW PUP!!"
"ALL THE BEST"!!

Capt mitch nee
I have now got a new pup called Amber and she is 12 months old, there was some pictures posted of her on the forum a few months back and very shorly I hope to be making a training DVD of her and I will be posting a couple of clips of it on the forum and then it will be going up for sale with 1/2 the proceeds going the Eric to help him run the forum. Its true I do miss my litlle girls but there is not a night goes by that I dont light candles for them and say a prayer.
Take care and God Bless
