I had to take my Irish Wolfhound for his last ride today. He wasn't having a good quality of life anymore. His back legs would suddenly collapse while walking. He couldn't hold his bowels anymore even pooping on my bed. I will miss my big boy so much. Riggs was my protector and cuddle bug while my DH is out of the country. The house feels so empty without him here.:bawling:
Oh, Wolfie - so very sorry for this happening.

Just looked up pics of what that breed looks like - was Riggs very big? How old was he?
So sorry for your loss :unlove: I sure wish dogs could live as long as us. It's hard when you're a large dog lover because they have even less years, though they are totally worth the inevidable heartbreak.
So sorry Wolfie. They leave such a big hole in your heart.
He was 39 inches at his shoulder and 11years old. That is almost double the age of the average Wolfhound. Sleeping without him last night was horrible.Quote:

So sorry wolfie. They have such big hearts and we love them so much in return. You were lucky to have him stay so long with you.
Sorry for your loss. It sure has been a tough year for you, hasn't it?
*hugs*
Oh Wolfie! I'm so sorry for your loss of your loving dog! My condolences! Hugs to you!
So sorry to hear this.......

Wolfie, am sooo so sorry to hear your sad news. 11 years old is Awesome. Sounds like he lived longer just to be with You.
There's no words that can ease the hurt right now, but we all certainly empathize in your sadness because we've all been there and know how much it hurts.
Big Hug.
Wolfie I'm so sorry for the loss of Riggs :( Losing a pet is never easy. Hugs.
not again is right....Wolfie you have had one heck of a roller coaster emotional time as of late. You were so selfless really though to let Riggs be relieved of any further suffering, it was probably the toughest choice you had to make. He sounded so lovely and as you say your protector. Hoping your other little pup ( was it Ouija ? ) is able to fill in the emptiness somewhat.
((( hugs always! )))
Sorry for your loss. *hugs*
Oh dear, Wolfie, I'm so terribly sorry for your loss of your companion. I know full well the hurt you're feeling right now, but you know the pain will end and you'll be able to remember him as he was, building the memories of what you and he shared; he may be gone, but not forever...you two will be united again....so sorry.....

It has been too weird around here, the house feels so empty.
and the sad thing is 3 of my other pets are reaching that age ( +13) where I know they may not have many years left.
DH called me from overseas and asked what big breed of dogs I liked. So I have a feeling I could be getting a new puppy someday soon:dog:
A new BIG puppy! Oh I've always loved the larger breeds ( but not the slobbery, fluffy ones), loved our BC, Tammy, but since we downsized, we've had to downsize pups this time, too....hence, Jennifur. :)Quote:

An English Mastiff.......about 200lbs of drooling funQuote:

But I tip my hat to you wolfie....the grown version of any large-ish dbreed I am skittish about.
After dodging some barreling at me that size and larger at the dog park with little or no braking mechanisms in place and their eyes fixated on a tennis ball I am in awe at how some teensy tiny gals can walk beasts that large on a leash without getting dragged. I like my wee guys.
So happy that at least you are open to receiving some new furbaby love again very soon.
Lol! The best thing to do is just bend your knees a little and brace yourself. It helps with the impact. I've learned this the hard way.Quote:

Hugs. Sadness is inevitable. My dog is getting up there..don't know how I will cope. My thoughts are with you.
so sorry for the loss of Riggs.
I just came across this picture of our dear, sweet Tammy when I went to photobucket to put the picture of the knitted baby set I made to post on the Ravelry site...thought I'd post her picture here ... I still miss her and even call Jenny, Tammy sometimes! I know she's still watching over us...:)

OMG, so, so sorry for your loss. I sure know the feeling. We had 2 that we had to let go of them as thei were both 16 years. We too got 2 more dogs. One is a big (huge) Baby German Sheperd almost 120 pounds and the other one is a mixe of a tea cup and a chiwawa 6 pounds. It is so funny to see them playing. The big guy is a big protector off him and us too. We just love them so much. I hope you will post a pic. of yours wen you get it. I know, you will love him as much as you love the other one. Wen you loose one you have to get another one. That is how it is for us. We will always have dogs in our life. We. wish that my DH was not alergic to cats as we both love them. Again, sorry for your lost and hugs your way................:-)
Sorrry for spelling mistake as I am still learning how write in English.:-)
