We had a Rhodesian Ridgeback for 15 years. The day we had to put her down was as difficult as the day my Dad died. We put her down 3 years ago.
Time will help, but the loss will be felt for a long time.
After about 6 months, we got another dog. She is great and have grown equally attached to her. But we still call her by the Ridgeback's name on occasion. You can't have a member of the family for that long and just forget.
Hang in there, man.

Had to put my 8 year old boxer to sleep today due to a infection no one knows how to cure. My dog was fine yesterday woke up this morning and she would not come out of her dog house hardly had any energy and was breathing heavily like she couldnt get no air to her. Took her to the vet and did blood work come to find out she was inemick how ever you spell it and that her white blood cells were over taking the red blood cells. And after finding that out my heart dropped cause he said 90% of dogs that get to this stage will not survive even if you spent 10's of thousands of dollars to do test and antibiotics to cure it. And let me tell you thats the hardest descition to make when shes staring at you asking you to help her and having to sign a paper to have her put to sleep it just killed me. Goes to show you one day your here the next gone. Just had to share that with yall
boxer are the best ... then labs to me but i miss mine too !!!!

SOOOO sorry for your loss brother

^^ ya i had to put our pit down 2 months ago... she mauled my mom and almost killed her... and even after that and my mom being scared for life she said she missed the dog.. poor thing had been abused when we got her, had her for 2 years and it slept with my mom every night.. my mom fell and knocked herself out and was bleeding and the dog did what its instincts told it (from what ive read they maul their injured pups.. survival of the fittest they think).. now every one ofcourse blames the breed.. really sucks she was by far the sweetest dog i have ever met.. still miss that dog so much
and do not turn this into a pitbull bashing thread.. the dog did not attack her.. didnt go for throat or arms or anything.. just chewed where the blood was unfortunately her entire scalp :/..

I feel your sorrow. I have a 3 1/2 y/o female Boxer, her name is Phoenix. My dog has more personality and is smarter than half the people I know, lol. As someone else has already said all dogs go to heaven and she'll be there waiting for you with that stub going a million miles an hour. Hang in there.

Sorry for your loss. I know how you're feeling. Hopefully, time will heal your wounds.
We lost our dog Sunday.
She was only 2 years old. She never had any problems. I let her out Sunday morning (she slept in the house in her bed by our bed) and she seemed just fine as usual. My wife and daughter dropped me off at the aiport at 10:00am, went shopping for a while and when my wife went to let her in when it was starting to get dark, she did not come. My wife went outside and found her laying in the yard. No evidence of anything...no vomit (from eating anything toxic), nothing. We can only guess she may have had some undiagnosed heart condition or something. It tears me up I was not there to take care of things, but my dad took care of everything.
She was a great dog. She was amazing with kids...so loving with everyone. I'm so glad she was a part of our family for 2 years.
RIP, Hannah
