It seems that in the last year or so many have lost their family pets.

It is so tough - been just over a year for me losing my dog and still not really over it. 22 years is amazing but it’s still sad. He always talked about Hadji.

Held my buddy in my arms as the vet put him down a couple of months ago, he was just 11. Just read through Keith's twitter and it made me cry all over again.
I know you'll think she's a crazy cat lady, you would be right.

As someone who grew up not having a dog or cat i never understood people getting so upset when they died. When my girls were little we got them a puppy and then I totally got it. Had her for 15 years until she got sick. It was a weird day. Long story short but after many trips to the vet that week my wife was on the phone with the vet and doc said I think it’s time, she’s in too much pain. Bring her in. On the way to the vet she got energized and had her head out the window enjoying the breeze. We get to the office and she actually died in my arms as I’m walking across the parking lot

You gave her a great last ride. Glad she went out on her own terms.

Such a great way for you to remember that day. We love our pets so much and they trust us 100%.

I never had a pet growing up and well into adulthood. Then my ex-wife’s cat (much to her dismay) adopted me and became my buddy. But after only a few short years she got sick and after months of treatment we had to finally put her down. That was twenty years ago. I am weeping as I type this.

RIP Hadji - I had a t-shirt with Keith and Hadji on it.

We got our dog when she was 4 years old. She lived with us 13 years and last month we put her down at age 17. The worst part is coming home from work. For 13 years, that dog was always so glad to see me walk through the door. I miss that. But now that my children are adults living elsewhere, I'm not getting another one. I miss the love but not the responsibility.
