Friday the 13th has never been neither here nor there for me.....until today.
Now, for the rest of my days I will absolutely HATE, DESPISE, LOATHE, DREAD every Friday the 13th and April 13th in particular.
I know many of you have dogs of your own and I mean no disrespect, but my best friend Grizzly has been THE BEST DOG EVER IN THE ENTIRE EXISTANCE OF TIME!!!!
This morning, I had the saddest day in a very long time. I had to let my best buddy go.
I still have Hunter, who I do not consider my dog but I am "keeping" for a deceased friend/neighbor until Hunter goes to be with his dad Kieth.
Hunter will always be Kieth's dog.
I am sure I will have another dog in time because I love dogs, and there are way too many that need rescuing.
But....there will never be another dog like my Grizzly Bear
Since I have many friends here on the site that know Grizzly well, I just wanted to post this to let them know.
As can be expected, I am not in the mood for phone calls so please respect that for the time being.
I will not be available anyhow....I have decided to go for a hike until my leg pain feels nice and excruciating....so that will be all day.
It was either go for the hike or open a new case of beer and try to find the bottom of it...I decided that will be for another day in the very near future.
Rest In Peace Grizzly :'( :'( :'(

Tony,
I'm really sorry to hear this news I have been to your House's many times and I not only
looked forward to seeing you but also Griz. on how he would have to walk between your
legs and stop half way and look up at you. This first Bud is for him and the second is for
you my freind :(

Sorry for your your loss Tony.

My heart goes out to ya Tony, I hate that feeling, too.
That's the only thing I hate about having a big dog, is they're not around for as long as the little whippets. Rotties are great dogs, it just sucks that they live a dozen years if you're fortunate.
-
I'm glad I got to meet him.
Condolences from, Me, Kim and The Fur Face Gang

Tony...It is with tears in my eyes that I write this. I wish I had not read this. It has brought back a flood of memories I would rather not remember, only you know what I mean.
I will simply say I am sorry and will miss Grizzers greatly as will Val. I dread telling her.

Sorry for your loss man...

Tony---Real sorry for your loss buddy. Hard to lose a special animal like him.
-
RIP Grizzley glad you had a buddy to play with in the last part of your life will miss you and I know your dad will too.( tears in my eyes know what its like to loose your best freind)
-
Losing your best friend is the worst thing in the world.(expecially the one that doesnt talk) Sorry for your loss.
-
Thank you everyone...it has been a pretty rotten last few days. I deeply miss my big bear every minute.
I was worried that I would unintentionally resent Hunter being around me but he misses his buddy too I think.
Again, thank you all for your kind words.

I know your pain man, I put my best friend Sam AKA "Bubba" down in early February. I could deal with it if he would have died in his sleep but I had to make the call and wait 1 1/2 hrs until the appointment. I literally could not talk. I have watched men die in violent ways and once held a 9 year old until he died in my arms and although they were not pleasant experiences and affected me deeply, putting my canine friend down didn't even compare. It was much much worse. In fact to date it was the worse day of my life. I was very surprised at the effect it had on me. I am a tough guy yet I cried for days everytime I thought about it. Some friends felt my pain, some thought I was nuts to be so attached to a dog. Just wanted to let you know you weren't alone and are not nuts. Be good to Hunter he is likely lost without Grizzly as well and doesnt understand anything other than his friend left. I would also like to get another but just can't do it right at the moment as I'd still feel like I was replacing him and as all dog owners know, they all have to move on to the happy hunting grounds too soon and I am not sure I could do that again. After a couple months I am getting over it but still miss him to no end as I am sure you will also always miss Grizzlybut it heals with time. Just think more about the good ole days with him.
Good Luck Man!!
