My Fred

[sunbunny]

Our Fred just died. I feel like I've lost a member of the family. We're all crying. He's better off now and not in any pain. He had several tumors. We've been expecting it, but it still hurts.

Fred was old when we found him whining under one of my aunt's bushes. He was a hunting dog that got lost. He was with us for 12 years.

The best picture I have is one of him and chico that we had made.

Ah, sorry to hear that. At least you gave him 12 great years -- that's pretty amazing, considering you said he was already old when you found him.

I'm very sorry for your loss. When they are in pain and you have done all you can it's just an awful feeling. Again very sorry.

He appears to be a beagle ??

[sunbunny]

We think he was a beagle/basset mix.

Sorry to hear about your lose Sunbunny. 12 years is a pretty good long life for a beagle, especially if he wasn't a pup to start with. Best to let them go sometimes. We as owners at times tend to drag out a pets life not because we care about the pet but because WE don't want to deal with the loss. A large portion of the time though, it is usually the right thing to just let them go to the "Great Cat Chasing Field" in the sky.

If you are interested in getting another beagle, a friend of mine has one that he would probably give away for free. It has issues though, everytime it hears someone whistle it shits, a lot too. God forbid you are inside with him and Andy Griffith comes on.

that could be a useful trick for getting back at someone

Sorry to hear that. Dogs are the best (and cats are horrible, disgusting rodents).

[Matt Foley]

Sorry, Sunbunny. Wish I had more than words to offer.

I've been working temporarily for a vet right up the street. We had a dog that could barely breathe or move and I knew he was going to be put down that night so I sat with him and petted him for a good half an hour. In those moments you wonder why we are given 80 years on this planet while dogs and other loyal animals only get 10-15. Then you realize that it's people like you who make those 10-15 years so much better than what any other animal is getting. You lost a good friend, SB, but you made his life SO much better than it would have been.

Sorry to hear.

Keep your head up, he is in a better place now.

[The Saltman]

So sorry about this Sunbunny, I'm sure you gave him a better life than anyone else could have.
