I remember reading this thread awhile back and i'm so sorry for you loss, while i have just gotten my own.
On Monday, my twelve year and 11 month old Rottweiler, Cheyan, had broken her leg. We did what we could to comfort her until the Vet could come in on Emergency Call. Once he got there and we took her to the clinic, she looked her over and affirmed that she had indeed broken her leg. At her age as a Rottweiler, regrowing the bone would take a good amount of time, and having not been used to injury, i don't think she would have been able to cope very well seeing it was her front left leg. The vet looked her over and she had been beginning to get some tumor-like growths so that made him believe even more that she had a bone cancer in which Rottweilers are predisposed to getting. At 9:05, July 3rd, we had to put down the only stable thing in my life since i was five. When i come home from work and my father is gone, the house seems so empty. I miss her dearly. If you need someone to talk to, you can always PM me. I know where your heart and mind are at.

K9, I am sorry to hear about the loss of your beloved family member. When I was in college I rescued two pit-bulls who were abused as puppies. I raised them for four years until I graduated. The bond we shared was incredible. They broke every stereotype possible and I will always remember the bond that we shared. They were my two best friends....whenever I was down I could come home and they would tackle me(literally) with happiness. When it came time for us to part ways, I cried for weeks. But even though they were only with me for a short time, they made those five years so much fun.
It's ok to mourn the loss of your dogs....but it feels so much better to reflect on the happiness you shared together. That happiness will carry over now and help you get over the loss of your loved one. And while your pet gave, think of the good you brought to them as well. You saved them from a life of potential misery...you can't do anymore than that. Just look up and smile...knowing that somewhere, they are looking down at you with their tongue hanging out giving you a big smile.
I want to thank ya all for letting me know it's Ok to be so hurt. I'm very sorry to hear about everyones losses also. I am not going to lie to ya, they say with time it hurts less but for me it's not true. I have found is that the hurt is just as strong but the way it comes out in us is not something that I can explain. One continues to carry on but things are different some how, you look at many things different. It sure does make ya feel Human. This is the first time since may I have been here, so many things have changed. I want my 636 so very bad but realize I have to spend a year being with my puppy full time to train her and get her used to being in my home. One of my friends went out and bought an R1 so I really want my bike but i have to wait another year, and that really stinks. As my puppy grue and took form I realized she was not a lab mix. After much research it turns out she is a Vizsla; the only thing lab about her is her web feet. That makes lots of sence because as it turns out she is a Hungarian Hunting Dog, a bird dog, a swimmer. We are not going to kill any thing but her energy is there for the hunt and i spend lots of time exercising her so she will be happy. The energy she has is off the wall, she doubled in size in 60 days- now at 61 lbs and when stands on her rear legs reaches my eyes. I was not ready for this let me tell you, but adopting is for life and she is very lucky because not many would put up with i am putting up with. She is a big clumsy, strong, mouthy, dumb puppy. We have bonded pretty good so far and i think we will have a very tight bond in time. All in all she is pretty cool, but next summer ( my God next summer ? ) I get my 636. My head is not ready any way to have all the ware with all one needs to be on the road so waiting is a good idea any way. I will continue to take the dirt bike out to the track now and then but that will be it for now. I understand what you TeamONEinc are saying, i just can not do that yet. I have all those memories but the loss of making those memories is to much right now. So we go on, waiting and growing and learning more about life every day-month and year. I will stay on top of the sport bike scene and continue to get my mags. My friend let me ride his R1 two weeks ago. MY GOD how sweet that was. I can not tell you how great that machine is and how easy it was to handle that 1000. I know I could handle a 1000 machine but i can not afford it or the insurance. I will stick with what my heart fell for- the Kawi 636 and go for it next summer. So every body ride as much as ya can, be cool, be safe and have fun. I will get there one day soon. Good things take a wile to get and are worth the wait. It will be so so sweet when i pull away from the bike shop, i will just think about that and try to be happy. Later All...
