thanks monica....yeah, i couldn't come home and sit down to relax without duffy first climing up on my lap and getting stroked for about 15 minutes. ..every single night for the past 6 1/2 years!!.and if i didn't stroke her constantly, she would grab my arm in her mouth and make me stroke her!!! . . .and if it was dinner time and i hadn't fed her yet, she would stand at the entrance to the kitchen, turn and look at me and "talk" to me until i got my lazy ass up and came out there and fed her. ...yep, needy in deed. ...god, i'm gonna miss this one. ...

What a beautiful animal, Max. Very sorry to hear. I've been through it a few times myself, but of course, it never gets easier.

Judy Mayberry · June 2011

Max, my heart goes out to you, sincerely. A few weeks ago our family's 13-year-old golden retriever went in a similar fashion, and I still do some sobbing now and then.

Putting aside whether you believe in heaven or not, and I already know what you believe, a short children's book called Up in Heaven by Emma Chichester Clark was recommended to us. IT IS WONDERFUL!!! It applies to all who have lost their beloved doggies. Got it at the library. It's a gem.

So sorry Max, we know it's for the best but it's never easy.

Grandpas Grub · June 2011

Sure sorry to hear the news, Duffy was a beautiful dog and I would have to think a big part of the family.

I had to have our German Shepherd put down several years ago and it still bothers me to this day.

Cory430 · June 2011

Damn dawgs...they become so much a part of us. My thoughts are with you my friend.

Woodbutcher · June 2011

Aw Max I'm so sorry to hear about Duffy. My little girl has cancer too and I know it's just a matter of time. I feel your pain.

Frank from Houma · June 2011

We understand Max - went through this a couple times

More than a pet - a companion and family member

As a person with an 8 year old dog that has a "9 to 11 year lifespan" you have my condolences. I don't want to imagine it but I'm sure you made the right choice.

Howdy, Stranger!
