I'll miss you buddy :( My Bender passed away.

I had to putt my dog down yesterday her name was Remy. She was having bad complications from diabetes. I had her for a little over 9 years. She was a good dog.

Thanks for the advice, I'm sure I'll get a new dog soon. I just don't like coming home to an empty house. Brit has school late. Right now I'm just going to spend my time checking out Breeders, and Breeds, though I think I've made my mind up on another dobie. I haven't met one I didn't like.

Dude I'm so sorry... It's always a tough decision to make when their quality of life isn't what it should be. Good luck! This place has been a great outlet for me. (no one can see the tears on my side of the screen)

My mom currently has a 1 eyed, but blind in the other eye dachshund. But he still wags his tail every time you call for him and he's become great at navigating their house. His quality of life is still good, but he's a silly dog.

Rich, I would sit on the new pet thing for a while. I did that with my Dobie just after having to put my 13 year old rescue Grayhound, Rudolph, down for throat cancer. I loved him dearly and having a new dog so fast caused me to judge her too mych and make unfair comparisons. She suffered for it greatly. Unknowingly, I just didn't give her the attention she needed. It took some time, but I came to my senses and turned around. I was a horrible person for it and she hardly benefited, but all has been good since I snapped out of it. Lucky for me, pets are quite forgiving and can be your best friend as long as you return the favor.

The lesson was learned though. I really should have gotten over my grieving period before I decided on picking up a new best friend. I "thought" she would solve all my sorrows from the loss of Rudy, but she was not the pill for that resolve. My advice though, just on my experience, try giving it some time. You may be a world different than me and it will work out, but this is just one perspective.
