    14 hours on the road working and when I get home I find out from my wife that she had to put down my baby.. I know this isn't bowhunting related but I just had to get this off my chest it is so hard. She slept on my pillow every night and greeted at the door when I came home every day. She was 13 years old and had cancer for the second time Man this just sucks.. Miah was just flat out my little girl seeing both of mine are grown now.. RIP baby girl I will miss you..

    Walt,
    There often times is no greater love than the love that a dog gives it's owner, undying, unceasing love and admiration. When your day is nothing short of horrible, that loving animal is always happy to see you and brighten even the darkest days. RIP lil' girl, RIP..... I thought I'd lost both of my "boys" a little over a month ago, and it broke my heart, thankfully, they appeared a couple days later, and my soul was at ease again. Sorry to hear about your loss....as they are never easy to let go....

    I know the feeling Walt. My brother built a house 6 years ago and took our black lab with him when he moved out of my house. The dog was both of ours. She died last Monday at 10 years old.

    It gets better In time big guy. Give It time. Sorry for your loss.

    I feel your loss. I lost my jack russell named Tika last fall. My parents fell in love with her while I was working in Oklahoma so when I moved back I let her stay with them since they are retired and have a huge yard. I checked my email as I got to work one morning and my sister said sorry about Tika. I had no idea. Called up my dad and he said she was hit by a car. I left work. I couldn't sit at my desk and get anything done that day. The bond between a man and his dog is very strong.

    I know what it is like to lose a loved pet. Sometimes the hardest thing to do is to make that decision to end the suffering, but we as responsible pet owners owe that to our animals. Some time ago i ran into this little poem and it has helped me with the sadness that comes with the lose of a pet. I hope it helps you.
