For over 16 years the main family pet has been this black lab of ours, she has been with me every day of my life. When I was little she was my guardian, my dad never had to worry about me playing outside because she would drag me home by the diper if I went to far. She was always my best friend on those long summer days when I would go play outside, she was my Lassie on more than a few occasions, but I wont get into all the details. Recently she has been slipping away, she is pretty old for a dog, we dont know exactly how old she is because my parents got got her as an adult in 1990, before I was born. She was always like super man, she was run over by a milk truck twice with a total of 3 broken legs between the two, and she jusk continued on. Now old age is starting to settle in and she has a dying loom in her eyes...my dad says she has less than a week. I feel like a real pussy posting this but I dont care, I hope there are a few people here that have something to say. Thanks for reading.

its rough man, for sure i feel ya.. my little golden retriever was only 3 years old, happiest dog in the world, had a great life and all.. my bro, his college friends and i would always take her on our annual trip/boozefest to jay peak cause everyone loved her and she always had a ball. but this last trip of this january 2nd, we went to our friends condo before leaving town and my friends took her in their car like 10 min before we left and i guess no one put her inside (this condo is on a busy highway). as we pull up to the house, i see roadkill on the left side of the road..then i see golden fur, like my dog's, blood, guts, everything.

it didnt have to happen at all. the worst experience of my life, she was too young to die. but at least she had a great life for what it was worth and i hope she's keeping Teddy company up there.

Whoa, run over twice by a milk truck? I think you should really check into that milk delivering service... Anyways, your dog sounds great and I hope she passes away peacefully in her sleep.

It's always hard man, I know what you mean. We had a black lab most of my life that we had to put to sleep and then a few years later we had just adopted this mutt dog that was so awesome and he was about a year old. Well I came home from work one day to find that he had just up and died in the backyard...still don't know why but man...it's tough sometimes.

That was actually pretty touching. Goddamn. I can't really say anything, no oen can when something's about to die, it's just how life goes...Someone once told me something about how when your winning and everythings goin great it's all about beaches and sunshine, but when your loosin it's all about rainy bullshit etc etc...but at least now you feel like shit, because now that you do, you know there was something to miss, something you put yourself out there for to fall short of. So it was worth it.

not exactly how it was said or in the context and I think it was ripped off by some reporter but that's something I will always remember...remember that if the feeling is truely horrible, then you can be happy that you had something special.

if you don't talk to your dog, it should be taken away from you and given to a more loving owner.

Whe I was 12, my family dog was about 15. He had had a number of strokes, and we had to put him down because you could tell that he was suffering by living.

It was absolutely horrible. I had known this dog every single day of my life. From the day I can home from the hospital. And I can distinctly remeber curling up with him the last night he was with us still, and just petting him and crying all night long. And the house was always so empty when we would come home without him there.

We got another dog since then, we've had him for a number of years, but it's still not the smae, and I'll always forget my first dog.

Dogs really are the ebst friends. No matter what, they will always be there by your side. And losing them is like losing an immediate family member.

Hell, I'm getting pretty sad thinking about my first dog right now. But it also makes me want to go play with my current dog.
