Thanks guys, talking about it does help. But I had a wonderful 14 years with Rusty, sadly his insides caved in.

I know how you feeling, they start of as a pet, then become a friend and end up being a member of the family.

Sorry to hear about you loss a sad day indeed.

Condolences on your loss Eric, not an easy task by any means. Although it's more often the most humane route, it always seems so unfair that a lifetime of faithful companionship is 'rewarded' with such a vet trip.

Been there too many times as I'm sure you have too. I feel for you at this time and I know Rusty was close to your heart but on the upside, 14 years is a long time of good memories to be cherished.

Hang in there, old friend.

Man's best friend indeed. Always ready to welcome you home, will just be with you when you need a friend to listen, always up for fun and games, alerts you when danger is around the corner, loves you no matter what! A friend indeed.

My sincere condolences Eric. I know how much your family means to you.

Condolences Eric
I know he had a good life as he had you as his friend.
One of toughest things I know is going to the vet and doing the right thing.....
It was time, and you did the right thing.

Bretton summed it up well: "loves you no matter what! A friend indeed."

I am sure that Rusty was proud to have you as his owner, caretaker and FRIEND...
May Rusty RIP...

Only unfair if the companion was in perfect health...

Sad sad news, if it was someone I know in parliament

Post by **Family_Dog** » Wed Sep 09, 2015 4:23 pm

Thanks guys.

It's sad coming home in the evening and not having him lying outside on the grass waiting for me to come home. I miss that excited look and sparkle in his eyes as he used to jump up and run toward me, wagging his little stump of a tail. Having the other two dogs certainly makes it easier, but I still have that lump in my throat when I thinkl of little Rusty.
