Sad dad Lost my Dog and friend Titus

Sorry about your lost. Till this day I have hard time even thinking about owning another dog due to the passing of my last dog, he still lives vividly in my memories 15 years on. The emptiness can never be filled, he was just special and I’m sure you feel the same with Titus.

This was my best friend Doggie. She only lived about two years but I loved her more than anything in that time. She was the only dog I ever had that seemed to know what I was saying and it seemed like she could read my mind. She's also the only one to ever make me cry when I buried her. I'd give everything I own to have her back.

Sorry to hear about Titus. It is for the best when they are suffering.
Tomorrow will be three years since I lost my pup to valley fever. It never seems they live long enough.

I think dogs don’t live long for a reason. If loosing them after 10-14 years is rough, losing them after 25-30 would be completely unbearable. I had to have 3 put down in my life. Last one was in 2018. I’m probably going to wait until dementia starts to set in before I get another one. Just can’t deal with the pain of losing them anymore.

The Rainbow Bridge Poem
“Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together….”

Very emotional for me; we have an aging dog that has surprised the vets and is still around because he gets lots of love and support for his developing disabilities. I taught him to sniff out and retrieve squirrels. He's going blind now and needs lots of guidance; he waits for us to grab his collar or tail to descend/ascend stairs. He can still sniff them out once I lead him out into the yard and get him close.
He still gets excited when he hears the air rifle action working and the suppressed shots. I helped him fulfill his canine instincts, as you did with your dog. I will always console myself with memories of kindness and togetherness.

Lou, we have a pet same as Titus when I was in my grade school, I remember when he first arrive to our home, first night with us, he slept beside me bec he was looking for his mom and siblings, and kept on making noise, so I put him beside me and slept after, middle of the night he woke me up and he was pulling my shirt, then he was fine after that. We grew up at the same time, I remember he got run over by a car and he was injured really bad, we thought that he wont survive and he did, after that he survive for probably between 15 to 20 yrs, and the only regret about it is we didn't have any pictures of him, bec we don't have any camera that time. my brothers and sister still remember him to these days bec he is really a character by himself and he is really a part of our family.

Sorry for your loss, Lou. We just put down our 6th dog, four of those German shepherds, about three months ago. It never gets easier, so reading this post of yours I can truly relate and feel bad for you at what you and your wife are going thru.
A dog truly is a man’s best friend. All they want to do is be with you, no matter what’s going on inside of them or whatever ailments they have.

There are very few things that hurt as much as losing your dog. I have two that are 12 years old and I know the time is coming soon. RIP.
Heres my young dog, she’s 7.
