Well, the time has come to say goodbye to our faithful friend, tomorrow at Noon. She has an appointment with the vet, and she won't be coming home 
Well, she will eventually in an urn....
She has loved us and been loved for close to 18 years, and is just finally used up. She lost one of her hind legs nearly 5 years ago to a blood clot, her hearing over 3 years ago, her ability to control her bowels and bladder about 4 months ago, and finally this morning, she started wandering around like she didn't know where she was, or where she was going.
I guess the bright side is now we can replace the carpets that she has ruined, the screens she seemed to think didn't need to be on the doors and windows, and I can replant the spots in the yard that she destroyed by urinating on and digging up.
She will be missed VERY much, as we have no children, and she has been like a child to us.

I'm sorry to hear that, although she will be better off. This is the hardest part of owning pets. Screens can be repaired, holes can be filled, grass can be replanted, but no truly loved pet can be replaced.

Yeah, I would gladly take another 5 years of holes and rips if she could stay with us and be happy and healthy
I don't think we will be looking for another one soon. If we did, it would seem like a "Replacement" and as you stated, that just can't be done....

This is my other dog Ivy, on our move to NC. She was pure pit bull, died about a year ago. Great dog, we got her from a breeder outside Austin Tx. Chain gang kennels. She was returned to the breeder because of a divorce. We had her for 11 years.

My dog is extremely afraid of cameras. Even if you pick up a cell phone and point it as if you were taking a picture he takes off. We have very few picture of him most are with his head turned.

Second pic of Bruno on his Mommy's lap is telling...!
We have had three dogs so far --a Maltese and a Bichon, departed friends, and now a Cockapoo and they all made a job of always following my SWMBO around, and generally expressed more affection towards her (treats, maybe?).
I seem to be the poop-picking, flea-and-tick manager, but also the very important play person...!
Do you folks find that pattern to be true..?

Fail!
These are my two: Otto and Goodman. Both are rescues. Otto is a boxer and came from a puppy mill, where he'd been burned pretty badly aound his hindquarters. Goodman is a lab mix who had only a few days left at the pound before he was to be euthanized.
Here's an action photo I took this morning:
Nom!

Here is our Dexter Dog (named the brewery after him Double D Brewer, or DDB).
We also foster dogs, we've had seven so far, so I won't post them all. We're on break now until after the wedding (seven more weeks!).

OK, twist my arm :cross:
I was mistaken, however. We've had six fosters, it just feels like seven.
This is Mona, she was our first. She was very shy, but extremely sweet.
Annabelle - super hyper-hypo! Tons of energy, and a complete spaz.

Foster dogs pt 2/3
Smokey - my favorite, it was hard giving him up. He had the best personality ever, and was so calm and playful. You can't tell from the pic, but he's a bassadore (basset-lab mix). He had the stumpy, short body of a basset, and the giant head of lab. We called him Giant Head!
Spirit - another spaz monster with explosive poop (got on the walls )

Foster Dogs pt 3/3
Billie - Very shy, but pretty sweet, she grew on me after the first two weeks. She loved to cuddle.
Mya - uch, this was a tough one. I loved her to death because she was absolutely adorable, and had a pretty good overall spirit. She trained great in the house, but on walks she was total ADD and didn't care what kind of treat you had. Sadly, we had to give her back because she put a couple nasty scars on Dexter (we draw the line at drawing blood on our dog).
This is not easy stuff. Sometimes you love em, sometimes you hate em. But you know you're doing them good in the long run.

My good buddie, Bailey. Three year old black lab. We rescued him when he was two. I couldnt be happier with this dog. He is absolutely FETCH CRAZY. He will chase anything, anytime, with anyone, and return it PROMPTLY. Here we are playing fetch last spring.
I had a dog once that LOVED to fetch anything in the water... and would swim happily for hours. When my ex-boyfriend and I broke up he took the dog. My heart breaks every single time i think about him. That was 6 years ago and I miss him still.
