Lost a great friend today

[MacGyver]

Had to say goodbye to a great friend this afternoon after almost 14 years. Daisy was the most loyal dog I've ever known.  My wife and I got her a week after we got married, and she's been everywhere and through everything with us since.

She really should have been a working dog. She took absolute joy in performing the jobs you gave her. She would retrieve until you were the one who was worn out.  

The second picture below on the paddle board was the only way she'd let my kids swim in the lake   If she wasn't out on the board right beside them, she'd jump in, grab the strap on the back of their life jackets and tow them back to shore.

Man, we're going to miss this dog.

I was telling the AO Boss about this earlier and she was greatly saddened by it.

Sorry to hear. Ones like that are hard to come by and even harder to lose.

She was such a loyal dog.  I'm pretty sure she could have been gravely injured and she'd still be checking on you to make sure you were okay.  

Unlike a lot of labs, she was able to be really active her whole life up until about Thanksgiving.  

I know that we made the right choice today as she basically went as soon as she got the sedative shot.  Her body relaxed and she was gone.

Sorry to hear this news.  I lost a dog in April, 2016 and know how it hurts.  And yes, you made the right decision.

Hey, - so sorry.  Those pictures feel like great memories to me, and I wasn't even there.

So sorry to hear this. I'm still hurting from having to put our lab Buddy down a couple of years ago. He was 15 and extremely loyal as well. Miss him everyday and my heart aches for you.

So sorry, to many of us they are more than family. As I told my daughter when she lost her Yorkie of 15 years, we can mark the best years of our lives by the dogs we have. Remember the good times and the blessings.

She was a dog whose story was bigger than her life.  

She loved that paddleboard. Primarily I think it was because she could stand in the end of it and I could paddle silently up into a bunch of ducks where she could jump into the middle of them.  If I left in the board without her, she would swim after me until I turned around.  Ocean, lake, creek, river or farm pond - she didn't care - she would go. 

And, Lord help you if you were standing on the edge of a dock and someone threw a decoy or a tennis ball past you

Our furry friends are so special. I've had to say goodbye to many, but I always give them the best life I can. I also always move to the next one and do the same. I'm sorry for your pain and loss. There is no love like a pet's love.

My condolences. Words fail me as I consider the friend you've lost and how it reminds me of my little Molly.

It sounds like Daisy had a awesome life. So sorry for your loss, though.

[mikegideon]

Sorry to hear this. Dogs become such a big part of your life.

[Grand Torino]

Sorry...I've been there. I know it doesn't make it any easier for you though.
