WyoBC Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 My parents had to put down our old red heeler "Micky" today. He was about 17 years old. He was blind, and couldn't hear much either. We'll really miss him. He was a good dog. Although he was pretty sick the last few months so we kind of knew it was coming. Our other dog knows something happened I think. She has been kind of weird all day. The vet said that he probably had cancer too. Please pray for him to be safe and run free again. Thanks you guys. I love you Micky, rest in peace buddy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bc friend Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 My sympathies to your family - it's always hard to lose an old dog even when their quality of life is deteriorating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beth G Posted November 14, 2006 Report Share Posted November 14, 2006 Aw man I'm so sorry. May your buddy Micky rest in peace, and be pain free and happy, running through the fields and chasing those bunnies on the other side. (There are always plenty of bunnies to chase at the rainbow bridge) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelb'smum Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I am so sorry to hear that. its hard to think that they won't live as long as you at least he is no longer in any pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandra s. Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I'm so sorry . I can't even imagine what it must be like to have known a dog for 17(!) years. Not being a Christian, I can't pray for him (and in my world, he's safe now anyway), but I'm sending my good thoughts to all those who miss him now.

Rolf Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 It is always hard to loose the very loved dog. I am very sorry to hear about it. I wish for your other dog all the very best and send good vibrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KrisK Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 I am sorry to hear about Micky. We all know that our dogs won't be with us forever physically, but in our hearts they are never, ever gone. It sounds like Micky was a much loved fellow. My condolences to all of you. This poem was written by Joyce Stranger Wilson Memories There are shadows in my garden That only I can see The dogs so gaily playing That once belonged to me They run round in sunshine They lie panting in the shade They are racing through the hedges, They are chasing through the glade. They come to me at nightfall They are lying by my chair Yet, to other people, There is only one dog there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allie Oop Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Sorry for your loss. We lost our 14 yr. old GSD/Rough Collie a little over a year ago to Cancer. It's hard to say goodbye to a beloved friend, but you always have the memories. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WyoBC Posted November 15, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Thanks you guys for all the thoughts and prayers. It means a lot. We really did love him (as hard headed as he was) That's funny, when we first moved here he used to chase the bunnies. He wouldn't hurt them but he loved running after them. He had a good life and we have a lot of memories. He was the one that broke my leg when I was little too. But thank you guys again for everything.
