[backwoodsbob]

5. he died 8 years ago today

I'll never get over him.He wasn't a pet..he was my best friend.

I got him when he was about 14 weeks old...a friend had him and was warned the game warden was coming for him so he was my x-mas present.

He was amazing.People think wolves are dangerous and have NO IDEA.He would sit with a piece of steak on his nose and not move till told.He would be told to lay if the neighbors kids came over and they could lay on his stomach and watch movies using him as a pillow.He Would guard the whole neighborhood as he could.

I once got mad at him and told him to stay upstairs...he stayed at the top of the stairs waiting for like 5 hours without moving.

He had a stroke and couldn't walk.For a month I carried him out to pee and poop and help him up so he could eat.......He never recovered.

He used to hang in the office at my shop...when I put him down half the shop was there with him.

Sorry for rambling...I just miss him SO MUCH

[Tuesday Afternoon]

10. What a loving tribute to a wonderful creature

:hug:

[fortyfeetunder]

25. I am so sorry you lost a wonderful companion

He was a special dog, and I can understand, having walked in your shoes.
My condolences on this sad anniversary.

6. I miss my baby too-I know how you feel.

It's been 4 years almost. He woke me up about 3 AM and wanted a scritching. I went back to sleep after that and when I got up at 7 he was dead, laying on the floor next to my bed. R.I.P. BB The Moosedog.

[backwoodsbob]

7. I'm so sorry

he was beautiful.Was he a retriever or something along that line?

[hobbit709]

8. Lab-Chow mix

But if he got near water he was all lab. That's him surfing at Port Aransas. I was surf fishing out at the second sandbar cut and he was swimming around me. when it was time to leave I had to drag him away from the water. He didn't want to leave.

[backwoodsbob]

15. he was having fun

wish every dog could be as lucky as to have an owner like you.

I hate abuse so much

On a somewhat happy note...ant DU'ers in the SW Virginia area who need dog work..PAWS is awesome.I Take them some food as I can...please donate to PAWS or any local shelter.

My shelter dropped my baby when it came time and they were great about it.Half my shop was there...there were literally like 20 people there petting him while they injected him.

Support your shelters.

[amitten]

9. I understand, and I'm sorry.

Hurts so much to lose a beloved pet and close friend.

Pets are family. You have every right to grieve, even still.

[Whoa_Nelly]

11. I know what you mean

:hug: :hug: :hug:




I still miss my Flip






He died in 1977

[Shell Beau]

12. One of my boogers died almost a year ago and I still cry like a baby too.

You never get over them. :hug:

[Flaxbee]

14. I'm sorry; good friends of mine also had a large white wolf...

he came to them secondhand, after growing up in someone's apartment dining room. My friends had two malamutes and a huge yard. The wolf settled in just fine; he was a magnificent creature. I didn't meet him until he was quite old, and he was a gentle and peaceful and soulful creature. He only bit once, it was his owner, and she accepted that it was her fault: the wolf was quite old and hard of hearing and there was a black bear in the yard. My friend (who knew the bear was out there) startled him - was foolish of her to bend down near the face of a wolf to kiss him goodnight when he was watching a bear in his yard.

Anyway, she got stitched up and got plastic surgery, and the wolf lived another few years. She said he apologized to her in so many ways... and they're good people, not the kind of people to punish a creature for acting on instinct.

Anyway, gave you a heart. I'm sorry you're hurting. My beloved cat is probably going to the great beyond this weekend, and the pain in intense. I think I understand.

16. i know what you are going through. you have so much love, and perhaps you should share that again..

there are beautiful dogs just waiting for you to show up in their lives. needing that love.

why not give another a chance? please visit a shelter if you can.

[backwoodsbob]

21. Oh I have

I have two beautiful shepperds puppies of a rescue...A parson russel terrier we picked up at the shelter...A shih-tsu we rescued 6 months ago...and the two pups she had after we were told she had just went out of heat :) The pups are half Jack Russel and half Shih-tsu

Want a Jack_shiht puppy?...or two?

[1]

23. bless you, friend. your arctic wolf spins in happiness about your kindness across the bridge...

and ha! i would love to see what a jack-shiht puppy looks like.

do you have any pictures?

[backwoodsbob]

27. I'll post some

having the brood from hell is fun.I'm happy and know my baby lived good.Just hard today.My babies have literally unlimited woods to run in.

Taking the two pups in for their shots and spay/neuter next week.

ALL my dogs are fixed once the pups are done.

Just a really bad night for me but it will be ok...my 100lb shepperd keeps begging to get on my lap.He knows I'm having a bad night.He's a baby too :)

[Jamastiene]

17. It's been almost a year since Little Domino died.

She was the greatest cat. She was so smart and I was the only one she loved. She didn't like for anyone else to touch her. Stupid cancer.

[LeftyFingerPop]

18. Man, I am really sorry you are feeling bad tonight...

What a beautiful animal....what a beautiful friend. :hug:

[undeterred]

19. I know what you mean. I miss my dog too.

Harry dog died July 27 last year, almost 16 years old. I think about him every day.

[Bryn]

20. He must have been a gorgeous wolf

You were lucky to have him, so rare. I am so sorry for your loss.

I completely understand what you're going through. I lost my beloved hearing/signal assistance dog a year/two months ago. She was only 6 and could read over 100 words in sign language. Her "trusted" vet gave her a combination of two drugs that I learned later was a deadly combination...Dexamethasone and Rimadyl on same day which is a big NO NO. I took her in for her shoulder limp and she was gone two days later. I was devastated, couldn't talk to anyone, not even post here for nearly one year. Her name was Shane. She was a Rottie and German Shepherd mix. So sweet, so smart. She was my partner, my best friend..went everywhere with me. I still cry for her to this day, don't think I will get over her. I have filed a compliant against this vet 3 months ago so it will take a while before I know the outcome.

Here's pix of me and Shane.



Here's Shane wearing her orange service dog jacket

[backwoodsbob]

24. my god I'm so sorry

Words cant express the loss of A loved companion.She was beautiful.She looks like she enjoyed the horses.Did she learn that dogs and horses dont QUITE greet each other the same way?

She lookes like a doll

[Bryn]

33. She loved horses and cats and other animals..even birds!

Shane was amazing. For some reason horses seemed to like her. They'd come to her. My cats would lay close to her even slept with her. They looked up to her as if she was their leader, their protector.

I still think it's so amazing that you had a majestic animal like a white wolf..truly amazing and so rare. I had always wanted a pure wolf, but learned that they don't make a good pet. You were truly blessed to have one in your life that was your best friend. I know you will always miss him. I wish I had met him and gave him a big hug.

I have a statue standing outside. It's Native American woman with 4 wolves.

Here's a big hug for you :hug:

[backwoodsbob]

44. not sure who told you they dont make good pets

...he would do his thing...but was the very essence of a companion.


I wouldn't reccomend them for everyone....but....I would take of a wolf rescue without a second tought

[Bryn]

45. Via internet

Anyway, when my current dog named Shania, a purebred beauceron, was in heat last November. She's training to be my next assistance dog .. hearing/signal. Anyway, Rocky, the dog I got from rescue group, went out on the deck, was growing with teeth showing so I ran and grabbed my flashlight to see what was going on there. To my surprise, there's an animal looking like wolf coming up on stairs to deck because Shania was in heat. He ran off. I watched him running...stunned. He looked like Arctic wolf, was nearly white in color. He was BIG, running with brushy tail straight..running up the hill. I did a research over the internet. No wolves in Arkansas since they were all killed off (yeah...stupid stupid humans!) Native wolves of Arkansas were Red Wolves, small. The one I saw was white and large. Found that there were several Arctic wolf puppies taken away from someone here to a rescue wildlife guy so maybe one of them was loose.

I have seen foxes and coyotes around here. This animal is unlikely them. It looked so much like a wolf. Tried to get to Shania! It's possible that this animal was a mixed of fox and dog or coyote and dog, but I highly doubt it because it looked so perfect..like a wolf!

22. Great. Now I'm blubbering, too.

I lost mine just under three weeks ago and should've known better than to look past the subject line. I'm sorry it still hurts so much. :hug:

[Bryn]

31. So sorry

Your dog looks so beautiful. Hurt is still raw for you since you lost yours recently. I wish I were there to give you a hug. I know there are no words to comfort you, but know this that you are not alone and we understand.

:hug:

[backwoodsbob]

37. is that a pure terrier or am I missing something?

he/she was georgous....he's a doll...beautiful.

I'm so sorry for your loss.They aren't pets..they are family and it hurts damned bad.I CAN tell you something..I know it wont help now....I have picked up multiple rescue dogs...it's not the same but it feels good.

[buzzycrumbhunger]

46. Yes, she was a Westie

We were inseparable and with my kids now out of the nest, they tease me about spoiling the furbabies more than I ever did them (hey, I breastfed them for a year, so they're special in their own way :P).

I know a new dog will help when I'm ready and will definitely go the rescue route. Already looked at the local shelter's website in a fit of masochism and it's a heartbreaker.

[Dystopian]

28. I feel your sorrow....

I'm so very sorry...My heart is with you...I'm also missing my best friend, Maxi. She's been gone about 15 years, and only recently have had the yearning for another dog.

A moment in any given time will spark a memory.....
Your beautiful friend was loved....:hug:

peace~

[InvisibleTouch]

30. He must have been amazing.

It's so sad to lose them, but you were lucky to have shared part of your life with such a special being. Not everyone can accomodate a wolf as a pet, so you've had a unique experience with an animal who probably wouldn't trust just anyone. Doesn't make it any easier to lose them, of course. :/

[backwoodsbob]

35. it doesn't

it hurts so much tonight.

I cant even explain why...have two beautiful shepperds...a total of 6 dogs and looking to add two more if the shelter still wants me to take in two BIG (there words) dogs till they can find a home for them.

He was just so special my 100 lb shepperd is on my lap as I post this and I love him but he wont replace my baby

[applegrove]

32. Sorry for your loss. There are pets we can just not forget.

[Flying Dream Blues]

34. I'm there with you...just had to put my 15 year old sweet girl to sleep yesterday.

What a rough day, but am so happy she has left her tired old body behind and is playing and having fun today. I just miss her.
:hug:

[buzzycrumbhunger]

47. Ohhhh

:hug:

[Sheltiemama]

49. I'm so sorry.

I've been there twice. I know.

[Withywindle]

36. What a gorgeous creature!

I know. It hurts so much. I still mourn sometimes for my "sister," the German Shepherd my folks had when I was little. They got her as a puppy when I was three years old and we grew up together. She died when I was in junior high (nearly, er, 25 years ago), and my dad and I buried her together in the yard and didn't speak the whole day, just wept. She looked a little bit like your woofie, only pure black instead of pure white.


Where are you in SW VA? My folks are still in Carroll County - they have Bull Mastiffs now. They just got a puppy a few months ago--she's like a toddler. An 80-pound toddler with big teeth, that is.

[backwoodsbob]

40. I'm in Bluefield

well..just outside Bluefield on Warren Valley road.Have a PO in Bluefield

[Withywindle]

41. Yup, I know Bluefield.

Usually catch the train back to Chicago in Prince.

I grew up in Fancy Gap, right on the NC line, my parents are still there. :toast:

[Corgigal]

39. I'm so sorry about your furry friend

I just found out yesterday that corgi dog does have cancer. However it's only stage one , so that is going to buy us around 2 years and with that I'm grateful we caught it early. I'm already fearful of losing her, but we bring them into our homes and hearts aware that they will probably be with us for too short a time. We should all feel lucky to be loved by any furry friend.

[backwoodsbob]

42. yes sir

**. We should all feel lucky to be loved by any furry friend. ***

I was damned lucky to have such a special friend for so many years.It hurts bad but it's ok.


I have TWO shepperds on the couch now and a 5 pound bundle on my lap.

They are all babies in there own way and I love them all

[GoddessOfGuinness]

43. ...

:hug::hug::hug:
He must have been magnificent...

[backwoodsbob]

48. RIP major

you will always have my love baby
