Sorry to hear of your loss. They have a way of owning your heart and leaving too, too soon. My condolences to you and your family.

Sorry for your loss,

 It hurts like hell, don't it?.......

I've been thru it twice and each time I swore I'd never get another dog,

We've got a Chocolate Lab called Theo at the minute.

Lovely dog -(mad as a box of frogs.......goes upstairs backwards!!,)  but he's lovely).

Get another dog mate....it does help.

 

Yours JT/Chris.

Soo sorry for your loss. They come into our lives and always leave us way too soon, but when we cherish the memories we have with them they stay with us forever. He looks like such a big teddy bear and I'm sure he appreciated all the love you and your family gave,as I am sure you enjoyed all he gave as well. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

    I have been down this road many times. It will always hurt. Last May I had to put my Billy down after he was bleeding internally. He was 11. I was with his mother when he and all his siblings were born in my Garage. He was an English pointer. He and I drove from eastern Canada 5 times to hunt pheasants in Iowa. As with you and your dog he never let me out of his site. At my fishing camp he never let me sleep alone. He even managed to chase Mrs Weed to the other bed lol, She loved him as much as I did.

   After 2 weeks I couldn't take the going to look out the window to check on him any more. I started looking for the Titan's Little BooBoo you see in my avatar. I love her lots, she is not Bill or Dolly or Dan or Ricky or Ginger or any of the others but she is BooBoo and I love her more every day. I wake up early every morning and she is waiting for me.

   We dog owners love our dogs because they give us their unconditional love. If you leave the house and come back in 10 min or 10 hours it makes no difference to them they are just happy we are back.

 

Weed and BooBoo!

So sorry to hear of your loss.  These type of friends who ask nothing of us are so special.  In a few weeks it will be the 4th anniversary of the day I had to have my Lab, Patches put down after 15 years.  I will never forget because it was 2 days before the birth of my youngest daughter.  We adopted another Lab a year later, but I still come home after work, grab the leash, and accidently call out the wrong name every now and then.  The pain has gotten less, but the memories are strong as ever.  I wish you the strength to get thru this, and hope that you find another dog to fill, but not replace, this hole in your life.  He can never be replaced, but another dog would love to give and receive the love that you have to give.

We had to put our xena down 2 years ago and I still cant look at her pic without my eyes leaking.

Labs are incredible and more lovable than many humans and I can see from the tribute you posted that yours was loved as much as humanly possible.

For my family rescuing another pup from a bad situation and providing her with a new home helped us . . not to forget . . but to fill the emptiness. 

She sleeps next to my bed and I thank the good lord for letting me borrow her.

I am sorry about your family's loss.

Shamu beat me to it. Here is a printed version of The Rainbow Bridge. 

 

I'm sorry for your loss.

 

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. 

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. 
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. 
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. 

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. 
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. 

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. 

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. 

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

Very sorry for your loss LOM  :sorry:  . I have a black lab and know that they are a fantastic breed and I know Ozzy will be missed terribly by you and your family. Don't know what it is about the connection I have with animals but breaks my heart to hear about the loss of any pet. My heart goes out to ya bud

It's always a rough time when a family pet is lost. They can become as much part of the family as anyone else.

Thank you all for the condolences and well wishes. My wife sat here reading each and every one with tears streaming down her face.

 

For those who were wondering, a couple years ago we got another yellow lab to help keep Ozzy active and from getting bored. She was 2 when we got her and her name is Moe. For the moment we're a one Lab family, but Moe is a handful and loves to play. She's still trying to figure out where Ozzy went but we're keeping her busy.

 

Here is Moe and Ozzy a couple months ago.

I didn't realize it until a couple hours ago, but my wife snapped a picture of my daughter and me saying our final goodbye to Ozzy just after the vet administered the sedative. By the time the final injection came a few minutes later, he was sound asleep and no longer in pain. I wish all humans could leave this world as dignified and loved as some of our K-9 companions do.

I am so sorry for your loss.  Pets are as much a part of a family as humans are and it's devastating to lose one.  Personally, I believe that God creates them for no other reason except to bring love and joy to us.  That's what Ozzy did for you.............and you did that for him.  What a lucky dog he was!  I'm praying for your family during this difficult time.
