Lost my best Friend the Family Pet tonight.

[SASKFARMER]

Darn, the little bugger was with me from spring till fall.

Went to Florida and Northern Sask.

Boating and off to the sled shack.

Dogs they become part of your family, This one ran the house and we all had our jobs. She could ring a bell when she wanted to go outside. Rabbits at the front window in Regina got an ear full every time they came on our lawn, and when her favourite people came to visit it was like they were the number one place in her heart. She had a fondness for my dad that was second to none.

Yes, it's a farm forum I know and yes some hate dogs I know but some times we all just need someplace to vent.

Will we get another you bet were dog people, will it ever replace our Carley not a chance, some dogs you remember and some well they just fade away.

Sorry Sask, it’s rough losing a beloved pet.

At the beginning of the year I lost a cat. I constantly hear “he was just a cat” but, just like dogs, some touch you more than others. Doesn’t matter if they’re dog, cat, cow, horse.... Some just crawl into your life and heart more than others.

How old?

Dogs are such good companions.

We've had Heelers for a while and each definitely had their own personality unlike the others.
They all had common traits for the breed but were as individual as humans are.

11 years in Dec. My youngest is 18 it was his little girl, she would go sleep with him in the morning when we woke up.

Yea Dogs who knew could make a big guy a little sad.

Always a sad day. Sorry to hear

[SASKFARMER]

Yea I forgot about that when both dad and you got up quick to shake hands and she wasn’t happy.

SF I feel for ya.

Lost our Max unexpectedly last week.

He’s the brown guy and the black/white one was Skooby who I personally put down two years ago. Bawled my eyes out over losing both of them. I spend more time with them than anyone else in my family while I’m feeding all winter and they guard the place 24 hours a day. Got a new pup (Bubba) in the spring and he’s got big shoes to fill.

They truly are part of the family here. Hell they made the front page of our annual calendar this year.
RIP

Sorry to hear this
Never easy loosing a dog
They are part of the family

[SASKFARMER]

Yea some days when you have no one around you have your trusty dog to talk to. She didn't argue back.

2020 has been one interesting year.

Sorry for your loss, I know your pain right now, enough said.

Sorry to hear Sask
Kind of know the feeling of losing a good friend. I lost mine a couple springs ago. She followed me everywhere for 13 years and was a good friend when I spend most days alone. Sure miss her still.
She was a tough old mongrel that slept outside every night of the year no matter what the weather guarding the house!
