    RIP to the original FryDog. I always wanted some square-boned, rugged hunting dog but got a Terrier due to the allergies of my kids. The dog and I always got along ok, but I wasn’t around much. Then one day the recession forced me to my knees and consulting work out of my basement. The kids I bought the dog for went off to college, and all of a sudden, I was around every day … just me and her – let her out, feed her, play ball, etc. She imprinted to me…

    An acquired taste, yet quite a bond was formed. Put her down today after 15 years and a diagnosis of bone cancer. What a companion she turned out to be … proved me wrong.

    Never forget you Girl —

    sorry for your loss,its tough I know too well,I have had several dogs over the years and it gets tougher each time one of them parts ways with us.

    if this helps any,I feel honored each time the Good Lord trusts me with one of his pets.
    lets do our best to honor that trust!!

    My heart goes out to you and the family. She’s a cutie.

    Another best friend goes to the IDO dog park in the sky. We shall play again.

    Be thankful for 15 years. Growing up never had a dog make it past 8. My dog turns 8 in February and I’m silently building anxiety about it. Doesn’t help my kids (4&2) have really taken to him. I’m hoping for 10+.

    Sorry for your loss.
