Lost my Chocolate Lab "Bailey" in the middle of the night. He was a member of the family for 13 years.


It was time for him to go to the dog forest in the sky with his friends. He will be missed here immensely.


From my two daughters turning 16, graduating HS and going on to College, he was part of our joys.


It is a very sad morning, but he is in a better place than he was for the past few days.

It is really a rough day.

A "RED" wake last night by me in honor of him. :beer:


Long may the memories of his "life" be so happy.

Sorry to hear it, Pete...A family member who is also a friend is a real blessing. He no doubt was a very happy boy being a part of your family.
I'll tilt a glass in his honor tonight.

It's special that he was in your life for so long. I speak for many here I'm sure when I say we feel your and your families pain.
Happy to raise a toast to him.

Glad I got to meet him before he passed. Everytime I read about a cherished pet passing, I look at my chocolate lab and wonder how I'll handle it. I know its gonna hurt real bad.

Sorry for your family's loss Pete.

Very sorry for your loss Pete. We lost our Bruno on Memorial Day so I still feel what you are going through. It is a sad time but just remember all the good times he shared with you and your family.
