I miss my Buck so much I am incredibly sad. I had to have him euthanized on Tuesday. He was 17 1/2 and lived a wonderful, long, happy life. I had tried to prepare myself for this but I am feeling his loss so much and it hurts.

I'm so sorry to hear about Buck. I'm sure that he was very happy well taken care of.

This must be a really hard time for you. I'm so sorry, I hope remembering the wonderful years you had together eases your pain.

I am so sorry for your loss. I don't think you can ever prepare for the hole in your heart that occurs when you lose one of these dogs. It takes a long time to get over the hurt. You go through the same process as you do in the loss of a human loved one - shock, grief, anger and finally acceptance. Please give yourself time to mourn the loss of this special dog. Perhaps assemble some photos in a collage or find a way to celebrate his life. He will always be with you in spirit and memories.

I too am sorry for the pain you are going through. Loss is hard and hurts as tho we've been pierced through the heart. I am forever changed since losing my Lab 4 yrs ago. He'll always have a part of me. Try to focus on the positive memories that will forever live on in your mind and warm your heart.

Just noticed this thread for the first time today. Age 17 1/2 is when I lost my dear Holdsworth. You're right...it hurts horribly and there's not much you can do to prepare for it. I'm glad you could come here and share with us.

Take care and God Bless

Tara, Olie and Teddy's Mom (and Holdsworth and Shadow's Mom forever.)

I too am just now seeing this thread. I am so sorry for your loss. Please find comfort in knowing that you gave Buck a wonderful life. He will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Bucksmom,
I dont think we can ever prepare ourselves. When we lose one of our furkids, we are losing a much loved family member. Never ever easy.

I lost my dear Missy last November at age 17. Missy passed on to Rainbow Bridge due to liver failure. It has been over a year now and the hole in my heart is still empty. Life with Missy for 17 years was such a joy. I have and hold on to her memories. I cherish those great memories of such a little wonderful Cairn terrier that gave me so much joy and made my life complete.

There will never be another Missy and nothing can ever come close. All I could do is except she is in a better place waiting until I meet her one day. Life goes on we learn to live in a different way as we did when they were with us.

The pain eases but the heartache and empty feeling stays. When a pet means so much to us, it is only natural to miss them so much. There loss hits so hard as they never talk back, never argue, there just such loving creatures.

They give us there ALL. There the best! Hold on tight to bucks memories and getting 17 1/2 wonderful years with him is such a blessing. I know there life span is short but Buck gave you more than the average life span.
Just like my Missy 17 years but I wish I could of had another 17 but life dont work that way.

Take care, god bless and I will light a candle for Buck.
