Default My dog died last night

I just got a call from my mom that our dog Kareem died. She is right at 13 yrs old now. She has been losing weight for a little while and my parents and I had discussed having her put down but couldn't do it as she didn't ever seem in much pain. Well last night after licking the peanut butter out of a jar that my dad gave her, she passed sometime in the middle of the night.
She was half yellow lab and half white shepard.
She was a wonderful dog and I will miss her greatly.

RIP Kareem

I'm sorry for your loss. I know how it feels when you lose a dog like that. My dog Junior passed away recently at 15 years old.

Sorry for your loss. I recently had to put my Blue Heeler down so I can understand your pain.

I'm sorry man. I went through this with our family dog back around Thanksgiving as well. Things just aren't the same when they leave.

I am sorry for your loss. I had to put my dog down a few years ago from cancer. It was the hardest thing I ever did. Dogs are such great/loyal companions.

condolences, losing a pet is just as hard as losing family. Too bad dogs don't live longer and cats don't live shorter.

Thanks for your kind words everyone. My dad buried her this morning in the front yard next to my old dog that died right before we got Kareem.

I don't know if my parents will be getting another one, I assume they will as my dad likes having a dog on the porch to let him know when someone pulls up.

Thanks again
