Show Us Your Pets

Thanks for all the condolences on our loss of Abby our 15 year old yellow lab. She was an ever-present huge part of our lives and it sure does seem empty around here without her.

When we lost our first Golden I simply could not handle coming home from work each day to an empty/quiet house and no wet nose with a wagging tale to greet me at the front door. 3 months later we got another Golden........

What a cutie. I was the same way after I lost my Golden in Feb of 2019, so in Nov. We picked up a goldendoodle.


This is her now at 2, she gets a haircut on Sat.

Our beloved Abby passed away at 9:25 last night, just one month short of her 15th birthday. We enjoyed every minute of the 15 years of joy she gave us. She was a fantastic pet loved by everyone who had the opportunity to meet her.

It took me some time to express my sorrow. I am in the same place currently as our pet is also 15 and is getting more feeble weekly. And the ones I have lost in the past I still carry with me. I would tell you it gets better with time, but that's not true. You only learn to accept it.

I’d like to introduce you to Jazzy, my beloved Yellow Lab - she passed on May 13, 2021. She was an amazing friend and companion. The best dog I’ve ever had the privilege of sharing a few years with.

This dog and I logged over 15k miles hiking, backpacking, running, walking and scrambling all over Montana. She was with me when I summited Montana’s highest peak, Granite Peak and with me when I summited Montana’s 4th highest peak, Whitetail Peak. She was a real treasure. Even how, it’s hard for me to not to tear up thinking about the life we shared over her 14 years.

This week, I boarded a plane from Seattle, carrying her ashes. I made the determination many years ago that I would spread her ashes at September Morn Lake in the Beartooth Mountains in Southeast Montana. We hiked to that lake and beyond a couple dozen times and she loved that lake. I knew that some September morning I would spread her ashes at that lake. This was the week.

It was an emotional sixteen mile round trip to the lake that will ever be treasured in my heart. I’m counting the first eight miles as her being with me.

Sounds like both of you shared many wonderful experiences over the years.

You definitely had a wonderful companion there, Crush - as did Jazzy. Thanks for sharing - and for making me tear up.

BTW, my wife snapped the shot. I didn't do a selfie while driving.

Our dear Molly May who left us this past Monday after 14-1/2 great years of companionship. First pic is the day we got her and second is her last day with us

 

[ibglowin]

@montanarick , so very sorry for your loss so happy you all got to spend 14.5 years together though.

 

[cmason1957]

@montanarick - So sorry to hear of your loss. 14.5 years a good long life for a Golden, but we always want more. It's such a hard decision to make.

 

[montanarick]

Thanks for the kind thoughts

Sorry for your loss, montanarick. Losing a pet is like losing a member of the family. They're there every day giving all they've got and asking almost nothing in return. It's not until the day they're no longer with us that we realize just what a significant part of our life they were. We lost our yellow lab in September after 15 absolutely wonderful years with her. The house has never seemed so empty!

Molly is so effing cute in all of those pics ! Condolences to her whole family

Our Eko is a troublemaker and had a ruff nite.
