    Sorry to hear of your loss, I really am. I don't know if you remember me posting a picture of my chow but it could of been a twin to yours.

      Sorry for your loss, really.

      Our own Charlie-the-Incredible-Velcro-Lab died 3 years ago, and I still miss her sometimes.

        I had to put my 13 year old Lab down last Dec. It really sucked. I feel your loss.

            You have to face what a lot of us and to step-up and make a LOUSY decision. I had to let the "Tizzy" go.

            Presently,in process to acquire a new 5 month pup, hopefully by the 28th.

            The following was copied from the "Pet Show" by Warren Ekstein:[its' a tear jerker]

            THE RAINBOW BRIDGE
            There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth. It is called the Rainbow Bridge because of its many colors.
            Just this side of the Rainbow Bridge there is a land of meadows, hills and valleys with lush green grass. When a beloved pet dies, the pet goes to this place.
            There is always food and water and warm spring weather. The old and frail animals are young again. Those who are maimed are made whole again. They play all day with each other.
            There is only one thing missing. They are not with their special person who loved them on Earth.
            So, each day they run and play until the day comes when, one suddenly stops playing and looks up! The nose twitches! The ears are up! The eyes are staring! And this one suddenly runs from the group!
            You have been seen, and when you and your special friend meet, you take him or her in your arms and embrace,
            Your face is kissed again and again and again, and you look once more into the eyes of your trusting pet.
            Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together, never again to be separated...

              My short hair got pretty sick just two days ago. He has insulanoma. It's a tumor on the pancreous(excuse the spelling). He's fine most of the time. When he has a bout it makes me a little sick. Tonight he's back on top. At my age, I've had my share of dogs put down. It's part of it.
              If I should die before I wake...great,a little more sleep.

                Condolences for the loss of your friend and family member. We lost our 13 year old Rottweiler 3 months ago and it still hurts a lot. So many wonderful memories are generated by our canine friends. Find solace in those....

                    It's difficult to lose one who has been with you for many good years. I got Annisette (Annie) as a year old turn-in to the animal shelter. She was rescued by another organization, since she was on the kill list for being "too shy". As a spotted Ocicat (Siamese + Abysinian blend) their temperament seems to be subdued relative to other cats. Her place at nite for the next 15 years was on a mat next to my pillow. She helped raise several kitten newcomers to my home, and although quiet, when she wanted space at the food bowl, everyone backed away to give her room. She loved to herd toothbrushes, and rounded up every one she could find that were used for other household and hobby cleaning chores. The stash of 6 would migrate from closet to closet, to behind the couch and other secluded areas. While looking for something else, I found #6 hidden behind some luggage in a closet - she's been gone nearly 5 years now.

                    Her end came quickly and decisively, one day she was still energetic and able to jump up to the opening above the bathroom door, to stretch out & survey her realm, and the next, she was curled up in the closet. She quit eating and moving around, but would still purr when I came to sit with her and scratch her ears. Late in the evening, there was only a weak purr, and she went limp under my hand, and was forever gone.

                    Circumstances were just right - I gave her 14 more years free from the kill list, and she did a great job raising several more kittens.
