    15 years ago I brought Brooke into my home. I consider her my first born. Today we laid her to rest. I miss you already.

    More photos.

    Never easy.
    Some people won’t get another. No way can I live without one.

    15 years is a good run for a lab. My condolences. I’ll probably lose my older lab in a few years. Always tough.

    I’m sorry for your loss matt, that is never a easy day. I lost my black lab 5 years ago and still think about her often.

    Another good girl goes to the great IDO dog park in the sky.

    I have to say I am tearing up writing this. Coincidentally I opened this thread and the song that reminds me of our Athena started playing. I used to sing it to her before she passed.

    It’s actually probably not a coincidence.

    Sorry for your loss Matt. It’s never easy losing a dog

    Sorry to hear the bad news Matt. Losing a pet is never easy. We ourselves have a 15 year old beagle at home right now who doesn’t have a lot of time left either. Going to miss him when he goes.

    Sorry about the loss of one of your best friends.
    Never easy for sure. We rescue and foster older dogs.

    15 years is good for a Labrador. It’s the memories that last.

    sorry to hear this Matt, they are always with you in spirit and I swear even though my GSP Gracie has been gone for three years now that I can still feel her jump on the bed and lay down beside me some nights.

    I have done it a number of times and it hurts, so much,
    each time. You have many great memories, of 15 years together,
    with your best friend ! May they bring you smiles and peace.

    Sorry man. I still remember very clearly when I lost my first lab too. It will sting for awhile.
