fruity Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Today the time come to say goodbye to my springer bitch (taz) after nearly 14 years She,s been a great gundog , companion and pet and will be missed so much, its so strange not having her around already the house feels so empty but i know it was the right thing to do and she,s now pain free and in her favorite spot in the garden I know some will say its just a dog, but she was so much more to me and has been by my side no matter what Thanks fruity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kes Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Very sad to hear - good dogs become part of you and its the hardest thing to say goodbye. I've shed a few tears over mine too. She was lovely and looked a peach. Hope it gets easier as time passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDog Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Not good news. I doubt if anyone on this forum would refer to your springer as .........'just a dog'. There is generally heartfelt sorrow when a PW members dog dies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 Sad for your loss Fuity. Lost my old springer last Feb. Broke my heart. Time is the great healer. When the pain has faded, you will be left with happy memories of a great friend. John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Konnie Posted September 23, 2014 Report Share Posted September 23, 2014 don't think any are just dogs, they become a large part of life. I explain to non dog people imagine having a child and it always remains a child and you have to care for it every day of it's life. Then say it's just a dog !! sorry for your loss ATB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mick miller Posted September 27, 2014 Report Share Posted September 27, 2014 Anyone that hasn't had a dog won't understand, even cat people don't get the strong bond that man has with his most trusted companion and partner in the field. They are, without doubt, part of the family. I feel for your loss, but take some comfort in the knowledge that you gave that young pup the love, training and kinship of a good human throughout its life. Every dog deserves the same.
