I didn't know you'd lost your dog, Randy. Our little guy is one of the family. I can't imagine losing him. I'm truly sorry for your loss.

I didn't think a lot about it.....at first. Then I just kept getting in a darker and darker mood. I realized I had to take some time and talk about it.
Honestly, sometimes you take them for granted but when you lose them, it's like losing a best friend or family member. When I lost my dog a few years ago, I was kinda in denial at first, but after a few days it really hit me. For about a week, not a day went by that I didn't have a painful moment in which I shed tears for my fallen friend. She was my #1. Being a bachelor at the time, she was the warm friend I came home to. When she died, I was really lonely and ended up spending a lot more time at my families place because it was hard to be alone.
No shame in taking the time to mourn the loss of a faithful friend. They never judge you, they unfailingly loyal, and live to serve you. A good dog is more worthy of salvation than many people if you ask me. They are an inspired gift given to man to keep us company, teach us selfless service, loyalty, forgiveness, hard work, and friendship. Dogs are better teachers of these Christlike qualities than any human. Friends indeed.
My advice randy?
Get yourself a new puppy.
God bless and merry Christmas

Sorry for your loss.
Im not trying to offend you in any way........ but you know Im a "Dog Man"...... which one was it? Redbone, little mix, or the little beauty yall kept inside? I understand if you dont want to say. Loosing a dog is a horrible experience, I've buried many "best" friends. Never gets easy. My condolences.

Lost Cocoa, Baron's sister about this time last year. She was the only creature on earth he feared, which only proves further how wise he is. I just prayed for you and yours Randy.

One of my least favorite jobs as "Daddy" is my responsibility to take pets to the vet to be put to sleep. My 4 kids collect dogs and cats like crazy, and when it is their time I take them to the vet to be put down. I always cry like a six year old (even when I didn't think I liked the animal), then people make fun of me, which hurts my feelings and makes me cry even more

Takes time,
For months I would walk in the door and realize the hair ball wasn't there to greet me.

Sorry about your loss. I too lost a dear friend; my Bluetick Coonhound; Anney. She loved coonhunting, riding the hay wagon when feeding the cows, and going to the farm feed store in the back of the truck. I buried her on a hill overlooking the ranch, way back near the woods where she loved to hunt.

Our very oldest dog just a few days ago completely lost the ability to walk. It has been hit or miss over the past year or so, but lately mostly miss. I just carried her out to the yard to lay in the grass now that it has stopped raining. She can't move at all to do her business now.
Old white lab, was my late sisters dog she had a long time before us, the dog was a retired service dog of some type and I am not sure how old she is. Fairly good shape until this last year though.
And yesterday had to retire an old Charolais cow, again, real old, she went down, got her up twice with the help of the hayfork on the tractor, but after overnight, not again.
For everything, there is a season, and that's it.

Steven, it was the old black dog......"Blackjack" He just disappeared. I looked for him for days, but we never found him. It would be better if I would have able to give the old guy a proper burial.
When he was younger, he went everywhere with me. Rode on the four wheeler, boat, dozer.....

Sorry for all those mourning there pet loss. As a kid on the farm we had many pets. My dad always took care of the sick or severely injured ones. The pet would suddenly go missing then I'd figure it out when my dad would come back in the house with gun in hand and a sad look on his face. My dad cried with me the day we buried our blue border Collie. He was a part of the family and an awesome cow herder that we mourned for weeks

Sometimes the dogs natural instinct drives them to disappear before they expire. A sick pup will often avoid human contact as much as possible. Even in their final moments they love us too much to cause us pain. My condolences to Randy and anybody else suffering the loss of a friend.

I remember you sharing some stories about him on one of my first trips (probably the first one) when I brought Elle Mae (Kari) with me.

I've also found this to be true. If give the freedom, many old and ailing dogs which have been loyal companions, will suddenly disappear on their own, never to be seen again.
