So sorry to hear. I know how you feel. Had my dog Skye PTS on Weds she would have been 17 in Sept. I'd had her since she was 8 weeks old. The house is v empty.

So sorry but you’re one of the lucky ones, not everyone gets to experience the utter joy of letting a mutt into their lives.

I’m dreading the day, thoughts and all that.

So sorry for both of you

You will get through it but it hurts like hell

Sorry for your loss.

13 years is a good age for a large dog. My GSD is just about to turn 10 and looks remarkably well, barely a grey hair but this year he's started with the random lumps and bumps that older dogs seem to get. Does make you conscious of how limit the time we have with them is.

Sorry to hear of your loss.

Sorry to hear about Ben and Skye

Words are pretty useless right now, nothing but pixels on a screen really but you have my thoughts during a horrible time O/P.

My condolences to both of you; a horrible time. Thinking of you x

[Heaveho]

Sorry to read that. It’s an awful experience. Try and take comfort in knowing how good a life he was able to have thanks to you. All the best.

I also, am sorry for your loss.
Ben was a beautiful Akita.
