    It was a sad day yesterday. Had to say goodbye to my best friend of 14 years.My female yellow lab had cancer and it got the better of her after a valiant fight.I know she is in a better place now,and we will meet again when it is my turn to cross the "Rainbow Bridge". She will be sadly missed.

    Hang in there flyfisher. Our dog is not a "pet", she's family. I'd be willing to be that in 14 years, there's not a bad thing you can say about that "dog".

    Oh noble beast
    With soulful eyes
    Unquestioning in trust
    And forgiving of lies.

    Your loyal heart
    Eternally sound
    A steadfast friend
    The best I’ve found

    I’ll share my home
    You’ll share your heart
    Nothing will ever
    Keep us apart.

    Sorry to hear the bad news, it is always hard losing a loved one. At least you can take solace in the fact that she will no longer he hurting.

    I'm so sorry to hear your loss. Dog's are "God's little angels with wet noses". She was obviously your angel, as you were her's. Take care. j.

    I am so sorry to hear about your yellow lab, labs are such great dogs with their love for water, retrieving abilities and those soul searching eyes they have .I defiantly feel for you since I've had two Rainbow Bridge visitors myself in the last couple of years, I still get a little misty eyed just thinking about it :Cry:

    Always sad...

    So unfair for our four legged companions to have such a short time with us. I miss my buddy all the time and it's been almost two years. He was like my firstborn, best friend and guardian all in one. Great Dane and German Shepard mix. Knew all his commands in French, English and sign. My thoughts go out to you because while the pain dulls, it never leaves. Chin up and go find yourself a new best buddy.
