Guitar God Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Had a rough day. My Yellow Lab, Jake, passed away due to cancer. He would have been 13 on the 11th of this month. He was a great dog and such a gentle soul. He'll be missed. R.I.P Jake. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CROWB8 Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Sorry for your loss. Wifey and I recently lost our Basset to heat stroke outside this summer. You're in TN, I'm in KY, so you know how it was. Always had a soft for labs. The connection you get is deep. So loyal, kind, and understanding of every mood. They have that look that makes one melt. Do you have a younger pic of Jake? I'd love to see. EDIT, maybe at a later time. Edited September 2, 2022 by CROWB8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Summer can get crazy down here. Labs are great. Jake was for sure an awesome dog. One of the best I ever had. He was so gentle and loyal and loved everyone. For real! He was an adorable puppy. I'll get some more pics. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RBSinTo Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Guitar God, Sorry for your loss. Pets are a blessing to those who have them, and their deaths are always traumatic. I hope your good memories of Jake will be a comfort to you and your family. RBSinTo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitefang Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 My daughter lost two dogs to some kind of cancer. It's sure rough to lose them no matter how. Sorry to learn of this. Hang in there. Whitefang 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 That is a true bummer. A dog isn't just a dog, they are companions and family members. Â 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NighthawkChris Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 Geez, my dog died last Saturday… he was a 12yo 85lb gentle giant. Yeah it was hard to do the humane thing, but I know he’s not suffering anymore. I gave him the best life he could of had, but things like cancers and stuff can’t do much about. I hope you know @Guitar God that us here who know how much a dog can love their family, we sympathize with you greatly. It’s a hard loss to take, no doubt. Best wishes and it’ll get better in time. Remember the good times and what joy he brought you. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titan II Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 @Guitar God I just got in from a walk with Milo the Golden Retreiver and found your post. It made me stop and give him a hug and a kiss. This serves as a reminder that we need to enjoy every little bit of time we have with them because, sadly, they're never around long enough. I applaud you for doing right by Jake. It's never easy, even when it's the right thing to do. I am deeply sorry for your loss. RIP Jake.

Dave F Posted September 2, 2022 Share Posted September 2, 2022 (edited) Sorry for your loss. Our daughter lost her boy last December. He was the brother of our dog and spent a lot of time with us. My wife still cries over him every week. The two boys would have turned 13 this past June. Ours isn't doing too bad. When we got him, I figured we both go about the same time so I wouldn't have to go through any loss but I'm having second thoughts about that. Treasure them while they're here.

kidblast Posted September 3, 2022 Share Posted September 3, 2022 A sad day for sure, I'm familiar with the emotion that goes along with this. It's the worse part about having a pet, but it's worth it all for the good years you all had together. Rest easy Jake..  1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guitar God Posted September 4, 2022 Author Share Posted September 4, 2022 Thank you all so much! I appreciate everyone these responses! I'm hanging in there. I've been through it before and it's always hard and heartbreaking. It's a shame they don't live as long as we do. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are we owners? Do we raise them? I think not. They adopt our atitudes and personalities. And we theirs. They are family members. RIP Jake. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
