Broken Hearted
 

The day we have feared for a long time came today. Our beautiful Brindle Boxer Barney has left us. It was very respectful the way that The Florida Veterinary Hospital treated our sweet big boy. He was a big guy and weighed 95 lbs several weeks ago but he lost his power and 20 lbs very quickly. It was not fair to keep him going as he was to weak to survive any surgery and at almost 11 years old we felt it would not be right to put him through the procedure.

We were so so lucky to be given the chance to have this beautiful gift from God our Dog Mr. Barney in our lives for so long, he will certainly be missed. We are lost without him already. He loved The Villages and we worried about him making the trip from N.J. to Florida and as it turned out he handled it better than we did.

Sorry Nuc.

Never easy.

So so sorry. I am dreading losing my Little Gracie Girl. She turned 112 this year.

Oh Nucky, I am so sorry for both you and Priscilla. These pets become such an integral part of the family and when it's their time it hurts as badly as with any family member. Hope you both are able to fill the void.

Our heart felt condolences on your loss. It's been several years since we lost ours and I still hear and see her in the house!

So so sorry. There are no words......

So sorry for your loss. They quickly become a significant part of the family.

Sad news.
 

I am truly saddened by news of your loss.

It is a decision that I have had to make more than once. Our beloved pets are indeed members of our families.

Condolences.

Very sorry to hear. Pets become such a part of us.

I'm so sorry. I hope you can take some comfort that you did the right thing.

So sorry
 

Like many dog owners, I have been there and done that.

No matter how many times it never gets easier. They are part of the family...

So sorry for you loss...

My condolences Nucky. Barefoot was talking about meeting Barney at the Lake Paradise Park area. But I then heard that he had been ill. Also from her and then from you. We put down Sport around April 2014 and the people on here and friends like Joyce and many others at Doggie Doo Run Run were so supportive. Each dog seems to take a piece of your heart but the new one often fills that void. We got Beau five days after losing Sport but many people seem to have different ways of coping with the loss of a family people of the fur variety. You should go look at Pet Smart if so inclined. My sister-in-law got a boxer pit bull mix named Terra around August 2017 from there. Very sweet pooch.

I am so sad for you. I wish I could send words to comfort you both. I know how much you loved him and made every day of his life good and happy.

Sending love and prayers to you both.

Very sorry to hear of your loss Nucky. It's always very hard when our furbabies cross over the rainbow bridge.

One thing that helped me when I lost my little buddy Jax in May....pick a star in the sky tonight and name it after your beloved pet. Look for the star each night and know that he is healthy and happy chasing balls or chewing bones in heaven. All dogs go to heaven, people....not so much.
