Always sucks when that happens, I'm dreading the day that happens to my dog, why couldn't dogs outlive humans?

Because then they would have to see us die. That's just sucks for them. To me, no one can take care of my dog like i can. Sorry for your loss, Claus RIP

I am so sorry for your loss. I have a dog who is getting up there in years and every time he coughs or has trouble getting up I am reminded of the fact that his time is near. I dread that moment every day of my life.

He had hip dysplasia, 15% of German Shepherds get it and large dogs in general.

It was really hard for him to get up and you can tell he was starting to have a hard time breathing.

My families black lab has the same thing - it is sad as the entertainment room is downstairs, and you can tell he wants to go downstairs, but you know he is in a lot of pain if he tries to go down the stairs, so he just lies at the top of the stairs...  He is getting worse as well, I will probably be in the same boat as you in a year or two.

 

Sorry for your loss.



Unicorns ARE real - They are just fat, grey and called Rhinos

Our departments K-9 unit was a German Shephard and he had the same problem after he fell off of a truck he was searching.  When the dog was retired, the officer quit, too.  Like I said, the bond between a man and his dog is strong!



Sad story about the loss of your dog. Cherish those good memories you had with him. Pets sadly live relatively short lives.
