nita,
Yowza... that's one hairball story..So happy you didn't get hurt.
My friend and I talked about it yesterday. We didn't feel post-traumatized, but when driving now we both find ourselves watching out for that 18-wheeler coming around the bend at us.
eKat,
I hope this story doesn't get lost in a doggie thread
This doggie thread seemed just the right place to lose it. After all, there was a dog.

I know this sounds harsh to our deceased little buddies, but the second thought that crosses my mind when I hear of Taco pets passing on is...
Get another one.
The first thought is the obvious remorse. But as all dog lovers know, there are more out there waiting for a good home and a good buddy. And while we regret the passing of our little buddies, it doesn't mean you disrespect them or loved them less by getting a new buddy.
Life is a series of dogs. I don't say that lightly or to cheapen our love for them, but to exemplify our compassion to always want those furry little balls of glee around.
Cheers, dog-lovers. And rest in peace, Lucy. Say Hi to my Lucy (last dog), Rocky, Maverick, Pumpkin, Summit, Skadi, and all the other Taco Dogs. They romp together now.

Get another one.
I don't disagree with you Bluey, its just that the period of mourning is different for all of us. I lost my Lab a year ago this month and I'm just maybe starting to scratch the surface of thinking about....an adoptee. I did not want to do an injustice to a new adoptee by adopting too soon and perhaps inadvertenly comparing him/her to the pet I lost. I'm considering fostering through Golden Gate Lab Rescue first to make sure I am ready to become a full time "people" again. We shall see. Susan

You will know when you are ready for a new friend. I shall never have a dog like my first but that's the beauty of it. My dear pup Loki has her own specialness and... If I had her too soon, I would be blind to it.

Hanna's at least 14, but she's not too old to catch herself a gopher.
Apparently, she's getting too old to eat them on the spot, she carried this one into the garage before eating it, otherwise I never would have seen it.

14 is old for a lab, Chaz. She looks good!

She's been "14" for about five years now. I'm not really sure how old she is.
I found her about ten years ago, and the vet figured she was at least five then.

That look on Hanna's face appears to say,"My gopher...back off".
I'm sure she's a sweetheart like all labs, but you gotta let dogs have their prey. They get defensive.
Awesome looking dog.

Even a 3-legged dog needs exercise. Sophie on her third ascent of Mt. Baldy in the month of February.

Dogs can't count to four, so a three-legged-dog doesn't even know he's short a stick.
