bicykillgaz Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 I'm really sorry to hear about your dog, you've done what's best for him though and hopefully can take some comfort from knowing it. He was clearly loved and no doubt has had a great life both working and as part of your family so you've done everything you could for him.

steve_b_wales Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Sad news mate. I'm still grieving a having to have my Jack Russell put to sleep last December, and she was 16 years old. You did the right thing, especially as he had no quality of life during his last few months. R.I.P. Marco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Topgunners Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Sorry to hear of your loss hawkeye. We have spoke many times and have both been on this site for many years. It must be an awful feeling to have, to lose your shooting buddy. Remember all the good days and fun times you had. Those memories will never die. I dread the day I will lose Munty, my faithful dog. He is 11 now. He is with me 24/7. At work and at home. You need to get another dog as soon as you can. It might just take away some of the pain.

welshwizard Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know the feeling very well as I have had dogs for sixty years now and as you can imagine lost a lot of faithful companions in that time , one of my Springers was only six years old when she collapsed with a heart attack one morning just before I was going to work , I have a four year old Whippet now probably my last dog due to my age and I am already dreading the time when we have to part company they are our closest companions (I spend more time with mine than with any person) they become a huge part of our lives , I always worked my gundogs ,lurchers and terriers so they became closer to me than any other member of the family , deepest sympathy for the loss of yours .

Cranfield Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 I am sorry to read about your loss hawkeye, although its happened to most of us, nothing makes it easier when you lose a dog. The sadness you feel makes you wonder why you go out and get another one.............., but most of the time you do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mag357 Posted February 26, 2014 Report Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Hawkeye and I have been shooting together now for a number of years and even went to Wrexham to pick marco up with Mike.Wont be the same with hides next to each other with my lab Meg and Marco together,dogs got on well and shared endless retrieves.Next to Meg, Marco was my best pal and I went over to Mikes when he had him put to sleep, sad day spent over endless cups of coffee. RIP Marco old pal...... sad day. I know what its like to have your best companion put down as I had to have my last lab 'Moss' put to sleep and it took me 9 months to get another one,but with hindsight I should have got one sooner.
