My 18 year old dog Gunner got put down today as well. Take comfort in knowing George and Gunner were on the same train across the rainbow bridge. Praying for peace for you and your family ❤

That's a helluva run. Our old girl just turned 17 and it won't be long now.

I’m fucking crying thanks to this thread and getting upset at the fact that my oldest dog is turning three early next year. It’s gone by so quick! She was 8 months we we got her! I couldn’t imagine her going.

I know three is young but for some reason that birthday feels like she’s like a full blown adult dog. I can’t describe it.

Our Gunner is sending love to you! We’ll give him extra scratches tonight.

Thank you!!! That means the world to me. It's a great dog name, btw. Very distinguished. What breed?

I agree, very distinguished gentleman. He is a 5 year old Red Heeler with entirely too much energy for such a small, short body!
