Sad day...(canine)

My constant companion of 11 years, Max, lost his cancer battle this afternoon. He had a couple of seizures and we lay on the floor together for his last breath. Best damn bird dog I've ever had. House is really empty.

Miss you buddy...

So sorry for your loss. We have gone thru the same thing twice over the years. Not pleasant.

Prayers for you. They are such great companions. My Candy is over 15 years old and aging rapidly. It makes us very sad....

Very sorry for your loss. Some of life's treasures are being loved by, an owned by a dog.

Thank you all so much for your compassion. After spending last night and waking up this morning alone, one thing is clear; I don't do well without a dog. So much of my routine was centered around him, I found myself wandering around the house thinking I forgot something. This needs to be corrected quickly or I will be batshit crazy in no time.
