Lost another one this morning UPDATED

[BigTex]

Updated in post 50

Last Thursday my weimaraners got out of the house by accident and it was about 45 minutes before I realized they were gone. I found my 13 year old female, Val, in the alley behind my house. I didn't find my 4 year old male Geist. I looked for him from around 0740 until dark, driving 300+miles of residential streets to no avail. He got hit by a car and killed right after dark about a mile from the house. I had driven that road 15 times that day. What a kick in the balls.

Val, has been getting toward the end of life for a while now. She's 13 and had some tumors that I assume has invaded her gut. She hadn't eaten in 3 days and started throwing up blood last night. I put her down this morning and buried her next to Geist.

Its been a shitty week for me and the wife, sorry to vent, but I needed to write it down somewhere. Today is the first day we haven't had a dog in the house in over 13 years. It feels weird.

I'm very sorry for your losses. I've lost three is the last 20 years, and it's always tough.

 

[theLBC]

our condolences

 

[Mwalex]

So sorry for your loss. Our critters are family. For the last couple of months I have been animal-less for the first time in 19 years and it sucks.

 

[powdahound76]

Sorry buddy. Thats a rough week.

 

[Sean the Nailer]

Yeah, our condolences from here, too.

 

[AGrizz]

I feel sorry for your loss. I always pick up a pup and the affection and sense of loss is somewhat relieved with the new character.

 

[amcardon]

Sorry man. We lost our 4yr old GSP in November and it hit me way harder than I expected. As much as she drove me nuts it was hard to swallow. It hit my kids much, much harder. This past weekend we got two new puppies and it's been awesome to have dogs in the house again. I was worried this was going to be too soon, but I was wrong.

Good luck.

 

[TexPatriot]

Looking for a missing pet can be frightening and horrific. I'm sorry it turned out this way.

I've suffered that loss, more than once, and think about it every day.

 

[MDof2]

Ughh... Goddamn that sucks.
We've had pairs of weims for 25+ years and took in several rescue weims along the way.
Been there, done that, got that t-shirt.
Hang tough man. Flowing some good juju your way.

 

[fanninland]

Sorry man, that just plain sucks. Had to put down our 14 yr old border collie right at a year ago and although we recently got an awesome young black lab I still think about ole’ Bud every day. Hopefully the hurt recedes and the good memories shine through for y’all.

 

[Davo308]

Damn when it rains it pours.

I'm going to read up on that breed, they are nice looking.

We aren't going to wait long to get a pup. We need one in the house.

 

[BLKWLFK9]

Put my old man to rest this week too. Very hard to do, especially when we are forced to do it ourselves. I feel you brother.

 

[STUKA]

So sorry for your loss, I don't know that anything hurts as much as losing a dog.

 

[BigTex]

So sorry for your loss, I don't know that anything hurts as much as losing a dog.

It sucks when they're old, but its somewhat expected. This is the first time I've lost a young'n. It has taken a huge toll.

 

[bigbuckslayer3]

Never easy to lose a dog let alone two in one week. Sorry for your loss.

 

[DarnYankeeUSMC]

Those are some really cool looking dogs. They bring us joy and happiness and a lifetime of memories. The hurt when they are gone is proof of their love.

 

[supercorndogs]

Put my old man to rest this week too. Very hard to do, especially when we are forced to do it ourselves. I feel you brother.

Its bullshit. Only 5 of us could go to my Grandma's funeral, but a trash bag that O.D'ed could have a million.

 

[Stevo86]

Very sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. God speed.

 

[memtb]

Very sorry for your loses! One is very bad, two would be unimaginable! My condolences! memtb

 

[neeltburn]

Sorry Bro! Losing a dog just sucks not to mention losing 2, and nothing makes it easier in the short term. Condolences.

 

[hollowoutadime]

Beautiful dogs, love that pic of them on the couch. YOu're a good man, searching as you did. I'm sorry for your loss.

 

[Porksboy]

My dad got a weimaraner when he retired, she was his constant companion for twelve years. She was the first dog that was all his. She died before him and as cremated. When he passed two years ago he too was cremated. I put her ashes in his urn and interred them together per his wishes.

My condolences to you and your family, must really suck loosing both so close together.

 

[oneshot86]

I'm very sorry

 

[Expert684]

In your other post, I did break down and tell the wife about Geist. As predicted she did cry, I'll tell her about Val when we get home, she will cry for Val. We are both sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how bad it must be. Prayers for you and both of your loved ones.

 

[clubstrump]

Sorry for your loss. May your hearts heal quickly

I'd still be out there if there was a chance to get him back. He was the best dog I've ever had, even though I only had him a few years. Both of them were truly part of the family. They lived in our house and slept in our bed. The house feels empty and is eerily quiet. I never noticed the ambient noise they created until now.

 

[Gommer]

Prayers for y'all. I just can't imagine.

 

[BLEE]

I'm sorry you're going through this. You've lost family members and it's tough.
I recognize the mast cell tumors, on Val. My Maximus had them. I spent a small fortune on having a dozen, or so removed. He lasted four more years, until they caused his spleen to rupture and I had to put him down. Hang in there.

 

[BLKWLFK9]

Its bullshit. Only 5 of us could go to my Grandma's funeral, but a trash bag that O.D'ed could have a million.

I hear you but I was talking about putting my dog down myself. Sorry about your grandma. I know what you're saying though.

 

[vh20]

So sorry for your loss, Big Tex. Both in one week is unthinkable.

 

[Do-nothing]

There are no words to describe what you are feeling. I am so sorry for your loss. Coming up on a year since I lost my best buddy. Cherish the good times you had with them. Dogs are gifts from God.

 

[zeroz]

The worst. Losing dogs will rip you up like nothing else. Feel for ya.

 

[MarshallDodge]

So sorry

 

[W54/XM-388]

I'm very sorry to hear about your loss.
That's got to be really tough to loose them like that.

 

[BytorJr]

Sorry to hear this. I'm always disturbed when a pet is killed. Pets are much better than people so I understand your loss.

 

[Strykervet]

Here I am pissed about a rifle getting lost in the mail...

It could be a lot worse.

A buddy on here had a similar situation last week, it's never easy. I feel for you man, I really do.

 

[Sgt47]

I'm sorry for your loss. Dogs just don't live long enough. My Gordon Setter is going downhill fast and I dread making that gut wrenching decision. Hang in there, grieve for a while and then get a new pup. Prayers for you and your family.

 

[Unknown]

I'm really sorry to hear about your loss. They were beautiful dogs. The pain of loosing a beloved dog is indeed staggering. An owl killed my 18.5 year old small terrier about ten days ago..the pain of loss like that is staggering.

 

[Snipe260]

Sorry Buddy! I’ve been there! It’s tough!

 

[Longhorn in Utah]

Sorry for your loss! They are family, so it is heartbreaking for quite a while.

 

[sharpshot50]

Sorry friend. I hope you find peace. Thoughts are with ya.

 

[winniedonkey]

That's just damn horrible. Wish better days for you and your family.

 

[Lil Casino]

So sorry for your loss!

Sorry he had to go like that...hang on to the good memories. The older one must be missing him a lot. Can't imagine

 

[emastrich]

So sorry for your loss. Memories of them will help you thru this. Adopt a new pup('s) when you guys feel it is right. Hang in there bud.

 

[BigTex]

I posted in the Mans Best Friend thread but I wanted to update everyone here.

This is Krieger, we picked him up last Saturday. He is not a replacement for our other weims, but he is sure nice to have around. The house felt empty without a dog.

 

[MarshallDodge]

Handsome pup!
