A dear member of my family has passed. We just had to put Jellybean, my American bulldog, to sleep this evening. Many of you might associate his face with me as his ugly mug is my avatar on here... He was my best friend for the last 11+ years.
He had cancer and had lost a lot of weight recently. Fortunately, he did not suffer much pain with all he had lost (at least not that he let on, tough bastard that he was). We did the humane thing in not letting his condition worsen and I was able to stay with him right to his very peaceful end...
Needless to say, I'm going to miss him like crazy. So everybody who has a pet, please make sure to give them some extra attention and love tonight in honor of my big bean.

Losing a pet (friend) is never easy.

She had been slowing down considerably, but she finally told us it was time. Sashsa was with us since the month we bought our first house....before we were married, and several years before we had "real" kids.
There is no friend more absolute than our fuzzy friends, and I will be thinking about you and yours tonight. |

So sorry to hear about your loss, it's devastating
I'm gonna go give my boy a hug, he's 16-17 (stray so we dont know for sure), practically blind and deaf, but still loves human company and being part of the family. Quote:
