My Rocky is gone

[fishwidow]

Long tough day today. We had to make the tough decision to put our handsome 15 1/2 year old Gordon Setter down. We have dreaded the day for several years as his ability to navigate stairs and other health problems have showed up.
Never hunted him although he has ancestry that includes both field and bench champions. 
Deaf for the last several years, and suffering from the struggle of mobility, but still maintained a great attitude. He was the happiest dog I’ve ever owned, even through this morning.
That’s what made it really hard, because he  looked up as if to say it was ok, even as the anesthesia was setting in.
Hug your pups for me.

So sorry to hear. Pets give us so much love and it's so hard when we have to let them go. I'm snuggling with my boys right now and giving them extra kisses. 🥲

Sorry. It hurts now but you have some great memories.

Sorry for your loss, dang critters can leave paw prints all over our hearts.
I have lost many over the years and it never gets any easier but the love they give carries on forever.

Only thing wrong with dogs is they don't live long enough.  They are a part of our lives but we are their lives.  Sorry for your loss.

[Scenic]

Sorry for your loss.  Never easy to lose a member of the family.   

[Cooperman]

Sorry to hear about you pup fishwidow, very sad.

[LPS]

So sorry FW.  He had a great life with you.  You did the right thing.  Each one hurts a little more than the last one I think.  That is a sign that you loved them so much.  I feel for you and I too have a tear for him. 

[Steve-o]

Sorry to hear about that FW.  I know how tough those last moments can be.

[Rodwork]

Sorry to hear about you pup.

[fishwidow]

Thanks, everyone. I really appreciate your thoughts. Goes a long way to helping.
My other pal, Bosco, knows something is up because of the difference in the regular daily routine, and probably because of the mood in the house right now. He’ll get over it, and I’m sure he will help us in the next few days, too.
Thanks again, everybody.

[mike89]

Bosco will help you all for sure!!!
