Sorry for your loss. Our little girl dog is 14. She still jumps on the coach and even acts like a pup sometimes. We give her a much love as we can everyday.

This may sound wretched, but I hope that's the way Shiny goes too: on her own, in her own time. She's rapidly declining, but as long as she isn't in any pain - she can go as sideways as she wants; lol I wobble sideways too... and with luck, one day she'll just wake up dead. With luck, me too - but not anytime soon, for either of us, mind you. Just sayin.Next door neighbor up here at the lake just lost their Schnauzer this morning - heart attack at 14.
Todd came out every morning and barked good morning, tail wagging in glee to see me.
Gonna miss you old buddy ...
Gunther is gorgeous!!! How old is he? Dang, I wish we were closer so they could play. On the mountain, Shiny had 2 big dogs & 6 cats for company. Here, just squirrels to chase. I know she's lonely, and we've talked about getting another dog... maybe now that we've settled in a bit, it's time. Not sure if doing so would keep her younger/active - or if it would stress her out too much. As a schnauz-parent - what's your thoughts?My avatar is Scooter, he passed right before we moved here. He did get to make a couple trips down here in the moving van, bringing stuff down. He is still missed
I knew you and @TxPython357 were class acts and the choice of pup proves it!
This one is Gunther

I'm so with you there. I've had her since a pup and Shiny is the last survivor of my previous life (before Texas) and I'll be gutted without her. And then another 4-legged will come into my life, and heal my pain; such seems to be the way, yes? Life with a dog in it is just so much better.We had a 16 year old Pomeranian that finally had to be put down. He got where he tried to get up to pee, but couldnt. So I took him to the doc. He was my wife's dog, and we pretty much hated each other. But danged if I didn't cry when they put him down. Had him 15 years.
We got Gunther in 2014, he was a rescue from the Humane Society. We think he was around two years old when we got him so that would put him around 11 right now. He has never met a person or a lap he did not like. He used to love chasing squirrels when we were in Tennessee, but Since we moved to Texas, there are none.Gunther is gorgeous!!! How old is he?
