Super User TOXIC Posted February 9, 2022 Super User Posted February 9, 2022 Loading up and leaving for Okeechobee tomorrow but as fate would have it, we had to put our dog down last night. I am not sad. It was done here at home and he went very peacefully. He was the most you could ask for in a dog. He has been slowly failing over the last few months. He is our second Weimaraner and both have been fantastic dogs. The first was really my dog and he bonded 100% with me. This dog I got for my wife for when I was traveling and out of town a lot. Through his training, I made sure he bonded with her first. He was 120 pounds of protection for my wife and house. He did his job well and was also a very loving pet to my daughter who basically grew up with him. The house seemed a little empty this morning having my coffee and him not laying at my feet. Rest In Peace Cobey. 17 12 Quote

Super User Bird Posted February 9, 2022 Super User Posted February 9, 2022 Beautiful dog and happy to hear your dealing with it well. I on the other hand come completely unglued when a family dog passes, kinda embarrassing but it really stings. 2 Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted February 9, 2022 Super User Posted February 9, 2022 I really hate these posts as I know how much a dog can mean to someone. Your kids and wife can all be mad at you and act like they don't love you but your dog will always love you at anytime. Even after I scold my dog for doing something wrong, I can call her and she will lay her head in my lap to show me she still loves me. 4 Quote
Super User Darren. Posted February 9, 2022 Super User Posted February 9, 2022 He was beautiful. I feel for your loss. We're a lab family, had to put Jake down the summer my mother died. That was a rough year. All the best to you and your wife. 2 Quote

As a dog owner all my life, you “know” when it’s time. I was totally at peace with it and I really think he knew as well. He was ready. He was 14 years old and for a big dog, that’s a long life. 1 Quote

Super User A-Jay Posted February 9, 2022 Super User Posted February 9, 2022 Totally understand 'when it's time'. Still take a little piece of me - each of them. He knows he was loved. Hope the Mrs can feel better soon. A-Jay 3 Quote

Global Moderator 12poundbass Posted February 10, 2022 Global Moderator Posted February 10, 2022 Sorry for your loss. We’ve been there a few times having lost two in less than ten days and a third a little over a year from the other two. We have another one we’ve started having the discussion so it’s coming sooner than later again. Quote
