Farewell to a dear friend....

[blacklab]

Hey man, very sorry to hear about Jazzy. As you can see from my screen name, I am very attached to my dog.

My parents just had to put down their 16 year old friend, and are having a tough time. It really made me look at my 10 year old black lab, Lucy, and think about the future. She's been with me through a lot and it's tough to think about not having her around.

Tonight when I crack a homebrew, I'll tip a glass to Jazzy.

My condolences. I'm fighting the watery eyes as my 8 year old golden retriever relaxes next to me as I type. It's going to be hard when he goes. I feel for you.

I think a new puppy will help (maybe not with the carpet and furniture )

Also, what about a high gravity Jazzy Barleywine or something else that could age until Jazzy's birthday or a day you choose to celebrate his time on earth?

Good luck to you and your wife.

Terribly sorry for your loss of Jazzy.

Happy for the joy she gave you all these years.

Doubly happy for the joy and love she must have felt in your home.

It’s early, but rest assured, there’s another life-long pal waiting for you out there…when you’re ready. Jazzy would want it that way.

Oh…and you owe me a new keyboard. Mine shorted out whilst reading your post.

Cheers Jazzy.

I've rarely read a better eulogy, for man or a dog. I am so sorry for your loss.

RIP Jazzy.

Thanks for the post. I had to put down TWO dogs within six months about five years ago and one of my greyhounds died in January. I hope you plan on getting another dog in a couple months. They can never be replacements, but each will grow a new place in your heart.

We're pretty much all the same when losing a pet.

I'm so sorry for the loss of your sweet Jazzy. Your post had me crying, Pete. Time will bring some relief to the void she's left behind...Take care. I'll lift my glass to Jazzy tonight.
