Lost my loyal friend Kojak this evening

[Jerry V]

Many of us on the Hide have lost a loyal canine member of the family. For my family it was Kojak's number that came up. He was with us for 10 plus years and that damn cancer came for him and took him. He had been a constant companion for my wife during the last two years while she had been having her own health issues. Those issues for her are in the rear view mirror as of just a few days ago, so I guess he figured he had done his job and knew it was his time to rest. Attached is a poem that I have found to be comforting for me and I have shared with others while dealing with the same sense of loss. Everyone give their loyal companion an extra hug as Kojak loved his.

Dogs are amazing. Sounds like you gave Kojak a good life. RIP

Well, fuck, that’s a bummer. Glad your bride is on the mend though. IME, dogs are way better than people.

Sorry about your pup, I lost my favorite dog many years ago and still remember her fondly. A good dog is a treasure, always.

Pets in many ways can be more loyal than people and during times of sickness they do know when something's wrong with their owners and will stick by their side. While it may seem like Kojak is gone, he will be waiting for you when your number is up just like how all dogs wait with extreme patience for their owners to return home. RIP

Do you have a pic or two of Kojak that you would be willing to post up ?

When the time is right for you of course.......

Sorry for your loss... Pets are better than people... unconditional love. I cried when I have had to put a couple to sleep , and I will do so again on the next one. Never easy, and they ARE family.

Sorry to hear about the loss of Kojak. It’s a great blessing to have a loyal dog in your life and a harsh reminder of mortality when the leave you. Hold onto the wonderful memories of Kojak and know that someday you’ll see him again.

Sorry to hear brother, it super sucks.
Get a new pup soon

RIP Kojak! Glad to hear the Wife is better.

So sorry to hear that. Love the dogs you have even more. I lost my Best Canine Friend this year too. Rescued an American Mutt from the reservation. He's not the same, but he makes me smile every moment I spend with him. I hope you find room for another one in your heart and family.

Sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear.

We said goodbye to the Sons dog this morning, 8 weeks after his other left us,
First time in his life to be without a hairy mate.

Thankyou for the poem, it couldn't have come at a better time.

 

[Cowpokey]

Friday evenings are supposed to be fun...losing a family member is the opposite. Love our dogs more than most of the people I know. Sorry to hear you lost a one. R.I.P.

 

[SilentStalkr]

Damn. Sorry to hear that man. Lost both mine in 2020! Still can’t seem to replace them.

 

[Expert684]

Sorry for your loss, went through the same as you two years ago. I’m a firm believer that dogs make our life better, in turn most of us hopefully make theirs better. We both win.

Dogs are the animals humans should strive to be like.

Sorry for your loss, RIP Kojak.

Thanks for sharing the poem.

Rest in peace Kojak.

I lost my best friend and companion Hades 6 months ago and I'm still grieving. I hope you're handling it better than I did.

You have my sincere condolences for your loss.

When my previous GSD passed I was inconsolable. I felt like a piece of my soul had left me and even now, 10 years later I still tear up when I think of him.

I’m saddened by you loss of Kojak. My sincere condolences.

Sucks to lose a pet for sure. Lost our Golden Retriever two years ago, she was 14 and had a great life.

Get back into another dog sooner than later. A good pet does more for the human soul than anything else in the world.

 

[ggmanning]

Hate it for you. My dog is a best friend.

Sorry for the loss of your canine buddy.

Lost mine 6 years ago and seeing posts like yours brings back the memories.

Love ya Luke.

Heartfelt condolences bro,

Worst gut wrenching feeling in the world.

Prayers up for you and him
