Lost my best friend today, my Black Lab, Jake. He was 1 week shy of 14 years old. Cancer got him. He's been through everything with me, even 2 Wives. I'm gonna miss him alot!
Sorry about losing your best friend. I wish you comfort while dealing with the loss. Man, I remember when I lost my lab that I grew up with. Got him when I was 13 and he too lasted 14 years. Great dogs and super loyal friends.
Thanks everybody, all the thoughts mean a lot. Its amazing how attatched you can be to a ball of hair! I know everybody says this, but he really was a special dog. My 18 month old Daughter just got home from Daycare, and she's looking all over the house for him. Breaks my Heart!
It saddens me to know someone is experiencing the loss and grief that I once faced myself, and will inevitably someday face a second time.
My best friend at this moment is snuggling with me in my recliner. She is laying on the footstool between my legs, happy knowing her daddy is home from work.
I know the day I loose her, I will become an inconsolable wreck.
