my old man called me this morning

to tell me that smokey died

this isnt an april fools joke either, I wish it was

he was crying on the phone.

I just wish I could have seen smokey one more time

 

RYAN!!! I'm so sorry to hear that. I know you've had fears of that for a while and even recently talked about a dream.

Well, Ry, you had good times with that dog and I know it hurts.... ((big hugs))

 

Awww, I'm really sorry.

{{{Hugs}}}

 

Losing a pet sucks. I had to have one put down a couple years ago. It wasn't easy.

 

sorry to hear man

 

I'm sorry to hear that...When I left the country quite recently, I left my two beloved guinea pigs with one of my friends and apparently she sold them today to someone who I dont know...I hope it was a joke, but it was very upsetting to hear...

 

sorry MC, hugs to you... even though it still sucks.

 

I'm sorry too

 

last time I had seen that dog, I dont remember if I wrote about it here or not, he wasnt doin too well......... he would walk for a bit, then fall down....... but then he learned to lean up against the wall and he could walk to his bed, and to the back door and to his food..... my dad and myself had to carry him outside so he could go to the bathroom, you know........ and carry him back in, because there are steps, and there was no way in hell he could get up and down those things....... I just had a feeling he didnt have much longer.....

he got pills from the vet the day before....... which we thought would help, cuz we thought it was arthritis...... and the vet checked out his heart and said it was the strongest heart he ever heard on a 17 year old dog.... so, we thought he still had some fight in him........

but a day or two ago, my mom said that she didnt think smokey would make it much longer, he hadnt eaten anything lately..........

and I said, will he make it to easter, she said that she really doubted it, and that my dad was going to take smokey to the vet on monday to see what to do........ so he probably would have been put to sleep on monday anyways....... so IM just glad he died at home, than at some vets office

 

Sorry to hear that, man. I know how it feels after losing my dog 2 years ago. I was pretty torn up about it for at least a week. But damn, 17 years is a long life for a dog. My dog was already ailing at 13 when my dad accidently backed into her with his truck.

 

yeah, I know what you mean, matt........

people dont realize how connected you can get with a pet....
