The 2yr old Cattle Dog named Drover. A BIG baby.
Still one of my fav pics taken of the pups. RIP to Quest (on the right)
Here's my wife's dog. I bought the pup but she is not my dog. The wife has complete and total control of the mutt. Not to mention she's a digger. She's a good pup.
One of our rescue bullies. 4 year old female.
Thanks so much to everyone who has posted on this thread and helped console those who have lost their best friend. I read something on here months ago about how to deal with things when that sad day comes. One of the posters said something that really stuck with me and was basically that you need to do what is best for the animal, not try to make them suffer any longer or artificially extend their lives for your own purposes. That advice and all the great posts on here (I literally read all 19 pages) really helped my wife and I get through the last few very difficult days.
After 16 wonderful years, our beloved Siberian Husky Katya told us it was her time. She was with me on so many exciting hunts, fishing, camping trips, daily runs/walks, and just life in general. Although it is terribly difficult saying goodbye, having a dog truly does enrich your life. I take comfort in knowing animals are destined for Heaven. Humans however have free will and must choose. I miss her so badly that someday getting to Heaven and seeing her again is all I want. Tremendous motivation to live a good life and be the best person I can be.
BTW, take lots of pictures of you furry friend while you can . . . they come in handy after they're gone.

Wyliecoyote nailed it in the last 3 sentences of his post.
Take comfort in knowing that you are not alone. Many of us have been through that day, many of us are well aware we will face that day. You gave Katya a loving home. Recognizing when we have to finally say goodbye is a difficult decision and I personally prayed for guidance. I continue to pray with a special intention that St. Francis help owners and their pets now and forever. Thank you for sharing those great photos and your thoughts. Take care, be well & stay safe.

Thanks! I used to pray to St. Francis as a kid when I lost things (toys and such), something my Grandma taught me. Much better to pray to him for a lost dog and probably what my Grandma actually meant. Be good for me to do some reading on St. Francis!

crazy how these furry children of ours can carry us through some of our darkest hours

I picked up this little monster a few weeks ago, she'll be 12 weeks Saturday , she's a Shiba Inu and her name is Saki.
Awesome little puppy, cool name too! I’m guessing it has no clue how to fetch a ball or stick? My husky was that way too. Something about those breeds that makes playing fetch a mystery. I’ll skip on fetching any day for all their other wonderful traits: rarely bark, great family loyalty, non-greasy coat, love running . . .
Yeah she's great, my first Shiba, past dogs have all been in the terrier family, Wire Hair Fox Terrier and Airedales.. She does fetch but only if she is in the mood for it.. Rarely barks, unless talking smack, which is funny - she makes noise that's not barking, not sure how to describe it. Only thing is that Shiba scream is as bad as they say it is, damn bone chilling.. surprise they don't use it as sound effects for horror movies.
Sit and down. These are smart dogs. 11 weeks old two days ago.
I told my wife she called Shotgun....There was a little argument.
This is my wife’s little hobbit of a Corgi, Mr Frodo. I wasn’t super stoked to get him initially, but, like all dogs do, he eventually found a soft place in my heart and is the coolest little dog
Mila learning engineering skills. If I can train her to do my job then I can go hunting more. Not sure why the forum is getting creative with the pic but I guess it looks cool.
No dogs here, just attack rabbits....
Today is Molly's Birthday

She got a companion a week ago for a birthday present.........
Maggie..........9 weeks old today......

I believe here in the city its a creek, but it turns into a crick once it makes it out of town. Im lucky to have 10 miles of trails plus some good swim spots for them just a few minutes from my house. Tired pups are well behaved pups!

One of the best dogs we ever had was a mini weinerdog. I taught him how to pretend he was shot and roll over to die. All in a matter of 10 minutes. He was a great pup!
Betcha that child is the most protected person on the face of the earth.
Shelter dog, got him when he was a year old. Jethro
Duke is on the right he's my buddy's dog
In Michigan he's a handful and not
Much hunting yet, Nukem (not his real name) is the neighbors two doors down.
They are pals.
Very intelligent and have a mind of their own.
Sorry didn't see your reply til now...This is Ares and Spot. Spot is the son of our first Decker. She was an awesome dog! Spot is an awesome dog too!
My wolf dogs, Nikita the mother and Cloud the blackphase daughter. I watched her being born Christmas day, will be 5 years this year. Two years ago Cloud got a weird liver fungus and near died. I gave her 5 antibiotics twice a day for 20 months. Today shes healthy and mean as a snake...a very sweet snake.
This is Colbe. He was sort of a rescue. The lady next door kept him chained in a 6x8 kennel and never walked him. I talked her into letting me take him for walks one day, then after a few months she said I could not do that any more because he howled every time he heard me. Eventually I talked her into giving him to me. He was never house trained before I got him, but he never had an accident in the house and never destroyed my stuff. My wife said when I left for work he would sit by the door until I came home every day. He was the smartest dog I have had and one of the most athletic.
That's terrible after only six years. I've never heard of Addisons disease, scary how fast it took her. In the months leading up to my dog passing, I often thought it would be better and easier for me if it just happened unexpectedly, like if she just tipped over one day. Can't say it's any easier though whether there's a big build up to it, like with putting them down, or if it happens suddenly. Loosing a dog is the hardest damn thing.
I've put two down and it's never easy. First was a 9 year old Border Collie that developed a brain tumor. The second was a lab that made it all the way to 15 years. Sorry for your loss.

Teddy. I rescued him from my ex-wife. She was gonna give him away or something, and probably blame me for not taking him when my daughter got upset about it. To be honest, I didn’t want a dog. But now, I wouldn’t trade the lil feller for anything.

My best friend and me. Hard to believe that some douche put him to the road a long time ago. Whoever they are they don't deserve the unconditional love of a dog.
