My English Bulldog died last night

[Living The Dream]

Feeling very depressed. He was 11, which is extremely long for a bulldog. Bums me out though, been through a major relationship change, a marraige and a baby during his life. Have great pictures of him with my older kids when they were young.

It really sucks that we get so close to an animal that will only be there a short time in the scope of everything.

[griz]

RIP to your dog. its crazy how much we love our dogs.

11 years is a great life for a dog. best of luck to you

ill pour out some liquor for him tonight

[EaglesPhan36]

Sorry for your loss.

[Living The Dream]

Really sucks.. RIP Duke

That dog had a good life and didnt miss any meals by the looks of it. I've been through a couple of 10+ great dogs and still think about them. I got a labradoodle about 3 years ago. Another great dog. It's early but my advice is honor him with a puppy that will remind you of your ole buddy.

[Living The Dream]

I am sure we will. My kids were at their moms last night and don't know yet. They are over here this weekend and I have to get through telling them.

Its hard, I am a basketcase right now, hope I get myself together for telling them later after school.

[Ninersnut]

Yea man tough. I havent lost a dog yet but I imagine it's gonna be terrible.

[spencer7]

sorry for you're loss, been through it many times, its always hard. When you're ready check out the local shelter, a lot of great dogs and you will save lives. r.i.p duke

Hang in and be strong for the kids this weekend!

I also lost a pet of 11 years 2 weeks ago,leaves a wound on your soul.

Your dog is in the heaven waiting line, probably getting a few treats from Gary Carter.

Sorry for your loss. Duke was lucky to have you.

[Living The Dream]

Thanks guys. I don't know if its early and the crazies are still in bed, but you guys are class. I have been through a lot with the cancer scare and my surgery, this site believe it or not is another great distraction.

I really do appreciate the words.

Thanks

[crustyme]

i see so many hungry strays around here that i lost count.

so its good to know there are people like you who take good care of them. i am sure he thanks you for being a great owner and friend.

[str]

So sorry .

Many of us know exactly what you are going through.

Be strong for the kids.

Sadness will turn into fond memories in time.

Hang in there.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Hopefully a new puppy will help you get over your loss of Duke. RIP Duke.

[crustyme]

ive lost about 10 pets in past 10 years (illness, hit by cars, owls, coyotes, dissapearances) and getting a new pet has always helped. i mean u never really get over losing them but it does help.

[unluckysob]

Had 3 cats since kittens--- died a year apart----oatmeal at 16, fudge at 17, cupcake at 18---hurts to lose an old friend.

Sorry to hear about your loss...Pets are almost like kids, you fall in love with them just like family...I know it's hard right now but Duke was a lucky guy that had you and yours around him for 11 short years...

I feel your pain, Max my boy chow-chow, 12, we were just told in December has lymphoma cancer, with no cure...he's still holding on, but we know each day we are lucky to still have him...Man o Man it's tough...

Keep up the good fight my man...

[WvGambler]

4 months ago I would've rolled my eyes....but I got my first ever dog this past December. He's a huuuuge 100 pound lab.

I've always disliked dogs, but got one because the wife and kids wanted one. We rescued him from the shelter.

Since he's come home, he's completely become MY dog. Sits at my feet all night, goes on walks with me. Happier than hell to see me everyday.

I would've thought you were nuts, but I understand now. Sorry man. He looks like you took great care of him. Hang in there.

I am sorry to hear about your chow chow. I have been really enjoying him being here especially after he turned 10. Average lifespan for these dogs is 9, so we have been lucky.

Tomorrow is never guaranteed, so enjoy each day with your dog.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

sorry to hear man...I hope the kids will be alright

[Johnnythunder]

God bless your dog man....we know how hard it is.

Sorry for your loss. We certainly do get attached to them. Mine lived to 15, through all the shit in my life he was there everyday wagging his tail at the door when I came home. He was bought as a gift for a girl I thought I was going to marry. Her life changed and she didn't have room for either of us in it. Heartbroken when he died.

Hard to understand till you get a "pet" yourself that really bonds with you.

A year ago I would have said the same thing but sometimes it's like losing a family member.

[hels]

Give him a good burial and plant some flowers wherever he's buried.

[Smoke]

Good lookin dog there

Sorry for your loss

[zam77]

What a neat looking dog... love the all white coat. RIP Dukester. Of course it will be tough on the kids, but it will also make them stronger as time passes.

[bobby heenan]

my girls parents have an old english mastif....hes not quite 2 yet....but the guy is just awesome....drool everywhere...guy runs around the house like a bull in a china shop...doesnt have a clue how big he is.....just one of the best dogs ever.....and my girl loves him more than anything/anyone....the day this guy dies is going to be one of the hardest times ever....my girl still mentions all of her other pets that have died at least once a week

[RyanLeafOfBets]

Really sorry to hear that. Animals become part of the family, always terrible when they die.
Get a new dog in a month or two when you're ready?

[neverstoppers23]

know how tough that is, my cat who i got when i was undergoing cancer treatment died during the summer. he was only four years old and just got really sick.
sometimes it feels harder to lose a pet then a person.

[Jrod124]

love the photo, looks just like my white boxer.

RIP to your pooch, 11 years is a solid life and he looked like he enjoyed it

[Big Bear]
