Re: Lost one of the best this evening.......
Sorry to hear that, LT. I lost a pet of 16+ years in this past summer.
I really don't know exactly how old he was because he was a pound cat, and was an adult when I got him. He was the funniest damn cat I ever had though - just used to do all kinds of goofy stuff, like climb up onto my shoulders any time I picked him up. I have no idea where he learned that, because I didn't teach it to him. He was also a wuss who hated any sort of cold weather. Before I got smart and banished the cats to my workshop (yeah, they're wusses there too, because its heated), he used to get in my bed and "nose his way" under the covers. As soon as he started that, of course, the other two learned it, and I spent for than a few nights with three furballs crowding me more than any dang GF that I've ever had!
In some ways, its funny how we get so attached to pets, Then again, they definately have personalities and they are sort of like kids with the unconditional love thing. Heck, in some ways they are better than kids, because you only have to take them to the doc once a year, and they don't need new clothes and shoes every five minutes!
I know your dog was your buddy and you will miss him, but remember all the good times and funny mannerisms that he had. Like our human loved ones, that's the way to bid them farewell!
