I'm sorry to hear that, Pete. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
At least there is no more pain or suffering for him.

<font color="blue"> So sorry for your loss! I know that he was well cared for and happy while he was with you, and who can ask for more than that.
My thoughts are with you. </font>
Ditto. We just buried our 16 year old rescued greyhound out back under the apple tree, next to her sister.. too bad we can't go there too some day.

Weed, now that is hitting too close to home. BUT 16 years ... thats about 6 bonus years methinks for the greys. Our 2 racers are 7 and 5. The 7 y.o. is having seizures though.
The CEO will never be able to deal with his passing.
The Junkster had a racer for 19. We should all be so lucky.

<font color="blue"> surrounded by dozens of smaller stones for dogs.

Pete - Did you make the stones yourself or buy them. Our cocker turns 16 in July. Although she is still in pretty good health, the years are now starting to take their toll. This is my wife's last "baby" and she is dreading it. And I have to admit that I am very attached to her myself. We plan to bury her up on the "farm" where we will eventually move and I would like to come up with a nice marker.

- None -yet. Until then FunBuggy (EZ-Go) will have to do!
Bill,
I've seen pet markers at various flea markets in our area. They have a wide range of them for all kinds of pets. People sell them as out of the home kind of business.
We're going to a local flea market this Sunday that I know I've seen them at in the past. I don't know if these people ship or not, but if I see them there, I'd be happy to get information for you. Might even take a few pics to post if you'd like.
Let me know. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Garry - Thanks. I saw some similar markers/stones at our local flea market last weekend. But my wife was with me and I did not want to stop and ask about a custom made marker for our dog. Even though she knows the time is not far away, she doesn't like to think about it. I will try to discretely slip away and ask them about it next time.
We were discussing it a couple weeks ago and I felt it was the right time to mention that I was considering building a nice box to bury her in (the dog, not my wife). She said to go ahead but just don't let her (my wife) see it.

Sorry to here about the loss of your puppy. They touch our hearts and lives in ways non-animal people would never understand... /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Pete,
I'm sorry to hear about oliver. /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif
Our golden Belle died last November and we all still miss her terribly. We have an eight month old golden now that my wife is finally starting to get attached to.....Skye finally stopped doing all those puppy things, like eating the mail /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif. It just doesn't seem logical to me that we can become so attached to a dog that they affect us this way. All I know is that they are unbelieveably loyal and are always happy to get whatever time they can just to play. Lots of days I just couldn't ask for anything more from a friend.
Our prayers are with you and Tamara and Oliver and all your other goldens.
Kevin

Pete my wife and I feel your pain. We have always had dogs ourselves and can certainly sympathize with your loss.
