Today is one of the saddest days of my life. A big piece of me died today. I feel numb. We had to put down my best friend Major. He was 16 years old in November of 2018. Smartest most well behaved dog I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. I was blessed to be given his charge the last 6 years of his life. We miss you already. Remembered always.

Ooh John! :( I'm so so sorry!:sorrow:

Frame that pic, and name it: Best friends. ♥
I'm sure that Major will miss you too and when you meet again he will tell you it was him that was blessed, not you.
Again, I'm so sorry. I will be thinking of you and I will send you a lot of comforting hugs. ♥

I am very sorry to hear this news John. Your heart must be broken, it is so hard saying good bye to such good friends who have been with us for so long. He was as lucky to have you as you were to have him. Those photos are lovely shots, I hope they bring you many happy memories of Major. He will always be with you in your heart. :sadhug2:

I'm going to drown my spirit in a bottle of Jack Daniels and knock it out for a while. Good night good people of the avian community and bless you all.

I'm so, so sorry, John. Major was a beautiful boy and lived a good old life with you. These pictures are lovely; it's clear to see that Major loved you as much as you loved him.

Rest easy, old fella. :sorrow:

I am so very sorry, John.

You really really loved him too. I remember thinking... A dog? Hmmm, how's he going to do with a dog?
It was like you had him forever in just a few days. I am so very sorry.

I'm so sorry John. :sadhug2:I lost my girlie earlier this year, 6 days before her 11th b-day. It's so difficult when our babies get older.

Your baby clearly had a good life. Mourn his death but also celebrate his life. My thoughts are with both of you :sadhug2:

Oh Gosh John. Ripped my heart out and made me cry with you. There's just something about these once in a life time special companions, so woven into the fabric of our lives. His soul will be with your every heart beat, smile at all the good times, chuckle over the mischievous times and thank your angels for being blessed with such a great dog. Hugs to you buddy... :sadhug2:

Oh John I am so so so sorry for your loss of Major. What a great life he had with you. He knew you loved him with every fiber of your being.

You're the best friend I could ever ask for,
The one I can talk to.
You listen to everything I have to say;
I'm really going to miss you.

You're growing old
And can't walk as fast,
But don't you worry,
I won't forget about our past.

I love the comfort you offer,
Except when you chewed up my shoe.
But it's okay, we all make mistakes.
I'm really going to miss you.

We loved to play ball,
Chasing it down the hill.
You're the hairiest of them all,
But you still get the chills.

It's almost time to go.
Don't worry about me.
Just do it slow,
And forget about all the fleas.

I love you with all my heart,
The best friend I'll ever have.
I'm really going to miss you.
I love you, and that will never change.

Tears are rolling. I've been there. The pain is intense. It's been more years than I can remember but sometimes my buddy will show up in my dreams.

May your memories bring you comfort. I'm so sorry for the anguish.

Dear kind John ,
I'm deeply saddened by the news
on the loss of your wonderful Major.

My heart is heavy with grief as i look through the pictures of your best friend. I can feel the love you have for him.

It opens old wounds how my heart has been torn and bleeding for the loss my canine companions.
Gone to soon...My deepest condolences :darkcloud:
