| Cherish every second.  Give the sumb**** the best life he could ever have.  Treats, roadtrips, down pillows, and adventures.  Hug the f-er, and try not to cry when you do. Mine's been gone 9 years, and your picture made me cry.  Dogs teach us how short life is, how precious love is, and how horrible reality can be.

  | People without dogs will never be able to understand that bond. My Bullet has been gone a year now , I have another puppy, she is adorable. Everyday I still dream of my Bully, everyday.

  | I miss my little dog so much. I stole her from a family that abused her. Every day she looked at me with such love. When I first got her she wouldn't even wag her tail. That changed. She was only in my life for a year before she got cancer. I had to put her down.She died in my arms. I will never forget my little granny, old lady dog. As a matter of fact, I'm going to the pound Wenesday to rescue another one. Not as a replacement, just because I have so much love to give.

  | Why cry now before he's gone? Dont you think he senses your sadness, in return it makes him sad. Just enjoy and soak in the moment for lasting memories.

  | This one touched me.  This guy looks just like our "Bo".  He was a big part of our lives and we had to put him down earlier this year after 13 years.  Enjoy the hell out of him while he's alive.  Looks like a fine dog.
