That’s always a tough time. IP Boone. About the only thing I have done that was tougher was pulling the plug on my Mother.
I’ve read other people’s posts on this but still wasn’t in anyway prepared for just how hard it was and has been the last 24 hours.
I will say that as a person goes through life you get a lot of well-wishes from friends, co-workers, and acquaintances who mean well, but when people respond to threads like this it’s truly felt.
It absolutely sucks. The one thing I keep telling others who go through this since I went through it about a year ago is to feel whatever way you want to feel and you’re not wrong for doing so. Anyone who would react with “dude, it’s a dog, get over it” can go &*$% themselves. There’s plenty that have felt what you’re feeling right now so don’t fight it, let it all out and let it all go, most of us on here have too.
RIP Boone, good boy!
I know too well exactly how you feel Man.
I dread the day when I have to go through it again with my current buddy named “Bentley”. A GSP
RIP Boone
Boone has joined a bunch of great pals from this site alone.
Sorry for your loss Poomunk, I still havent replaced my GSP Gracie and I dont know if I can as the older I get the harder it is to part with such a great friend.
RIP Boone, Good boy !!
We feel your pain Poomunk, them dang dogs are something special.
RIP Boone.
Sorry to hear that Poomunk thats a tough road to go down.
RIP BOONE.
Nothing more I can say that hasn’t been already. Been threw it more than I care. My condolences poomunk.
RIP Boone!!!
We have few “True Friends” in Life. Most have 4 Paws. RIP Boone. Peace to You & Your Family. Boone was as Lucky to have You, as You were to have Him…
Sounds like the perfect companion. Never an easy time losing a pet. Sorry for your loss.
I put my 5 year old lab down 2 months ago. It’s hard and it’s sad and I’m sorry you find yourself in the middle of it.
My buddy calls owning a dog the best example of a Faustian Bargain. He’s right
Sorry to hear of your family’s loss. Nice touch with the various pictures. The one with Boone in the kitchen is great. That “look” is precious. I may have to start tracking down some old pics of my oldest lab. We may “part ways” this next year.
So sorry to hear this. RIP Boone. Sounds like he lived a great life with you and your family! 🥰🐶
The one with Boone in the kitchen is great. That “look” is precious.
That was one (of many) of his favorite squirrels and thats about what they looked like after a couple days. He would be so proud after disembowling them and getting the squeaker out of the tail. His last one was the only one he didn’t completely destroy, almost like he knew he wanted it (mostly) intact to go with him.
Thanks everyone, I did find the picture I took of the real squirrel he did catch in his younger days. He really wanted to bring him in the house. He could out run them back in the day, he just couldn’t turn and cut like they could.
They really are a member of the family. Sorry for your loss. RIP Boone.

The pain you feel proves how much love there was and how real the connection was both ways….
Went through it in February, and it still hurts. Nothing is ever easy about the loss.
Sorry for your loss. Like others I also went through this last year with my lab. They really take a part of your heart and we all think we are tough enough to where it won’t bother us like it does, but it does. RIP Boone.
So sorry for your lost. I’ve been through it and it always hurts 😞
We had this made for her yard. It helped us a lot and still does.
Sorry for your loss. Get a new pup, you will never forget, but it gets easier.
Cherish the memories. Sorry for your loss. It’s tough for a long while.
