I got an email from my dad that they had to put one of our childhood dogs down yesterday.
He was SUCH a sweet boy (black lab) and I am so sad that he's gone, although I know that he's in a better place & no longer in pain.
I worry my mom is really going to miss him (my dad is a pilot & is gone from home quite a bit, so our lab was my mom's buddy when she was home alone). My dad said the vet was wonderful with them but it still breaks my heart. I keep tearing up everytime I think about it...good thing I woke up late & forgot to put mascara on today! lol
Our sweet lab, Jet, has joined all of the other beloved nestie pets who are running & playing together over the rainbow bridge ![]()
Re: Sad news (pet related)
(((hugs)))
Even when it's rationally for the best, losing a pet is so, so hard. I'm sorry, sweetie, for all of you. I hope your mom does ok!

((hugs)) I'm so sorry. My parents had to put down my childhood dog last year, and it still makes me sad.

RIP sweet Jet.... Big hugs to your family.
When she is ready, there are some really great dogs in rescue here. Our own posey volunteers with a lab rescue.
Hugs. I am so very sorry. It is terribly sad to lose a pet, especially one who was with you growing up.
Like Winecat says, when your parents feel ready for a new pet, there are so many great dogs in rescue and at shelters like Maxfund and Denver Dumb Friends League. DH and I volunteer with American Brittany Rescue (link in siggy).
