This afternoon was a day I knew was coming... but wasn't looking forward to at all. We rescued a pit bull named Buster about 12 years ago, and he's been a good dog. He was about 4 when we rescued him, and he was as gentle as you could want to our then-4 year old. Loved to fetch a ball, and go for hikes. But -- he was 16, ancient for a big dog. The last few months, he's been going downhill, and today was finally the day to say good bye.

I'm so very sorry for your loss that's hard.. but yes you did such a service to him and enriched his life for sure

So sorry, my friend.
Last summer I lost my 15+ year old cat. She showed up one day and demanded entry, and never left.

The great ones leave a big hole.
Great eulogy to a great friend. |Here's to Buster!

(sadly, we know the day will come when we first take them into our hearts. Unfortunately, the only way to avoid that is by getting a turtle or an elephant.)

My heart to you, my brother. It’s so damn hard.

It seems like I got a seven week old puppy just the other day, and now she’s over four years old. It goes by so quickly.

Buster had a good family, you gave him a good life and a house he could call his home.

That was great. I just sent that to every dog person I know.
