    I had to put my 10 year old dog Touka to sleep this morning. She was diagnosed with lymphosarcoma on Tuesday and went downhill really fast. Some of you know I just moved to Switzerland about a year ago from NC. It's going to be so hard here without her ... Rest easy old girl. Listening to some Yarn to ease my pain ;)

    Not sure that Yarn songs will lift your spirits! Stay away from "Misery".

    Seriously, sorry for your loss. We've been there and it ain't pretty. Took us all of 30 days to get a new dog.

    I am so sorry. I know how incredibly hard it is to lose a best friend... I've always had a dog in my life, and the only thing I don't like about them is that they don't live long enough. Saying goodbye to them is hardest thing. Dogs have always been the most generous souls in my life, never judging, always there, asking nothing, soulful eyes looking up at me, giving love, no matter what. It must be so hard for you to be away from home and loose your best friend. I know I don't have words that can fill the void, but I'm thinking of you, hoping and praying that this time of pain will pass and be filled with many great memories. I know I don't know you, but I am wishing you peace...

    I don't think I have taken a loss as hard as when we put our 11 year old lab down last year. It was just horrible. My sister in law put her 13 year old lab down this week. I feel for your loss and am sending some positive vibes your way. I am sure you dog was like ours and lived better than many people in this world. Rest easy knowing that she is bouncing from cloud to cloud chasing rabbits and jumping rainbows. It took us all of 17 days to find our newest member of the family. I love him, but still miss my Doolin dearly. Stay strong and may you find some comfort in all of this.

    Oh damn Sue, sorry to hear about this. Yp, we've all had to do it and it's never easy. My last Brittany racked up several grand in vet bills on the way out. This is the first year that my current britt has become too old and lame to chase birds so who knows how much time we have left with her.

    As much as anything, pets remind us of eras in our lives~

    So very sorry to hear of your loss, Sue. And for it to happen so suddenly - I'm sure you're still trying to process it all...

    My dog of 14 years passed over 12 years ago and my memories of her are as warm and vivid as if she were still here. Despite how hard it is right now, I know your memories of Touka will bring you that same comfort and peace. May that time come very soon for you. Take care, and again, so sorry for your loss.

    Hope you are dealing with this the best you can, Sue.

    When our dog was diagnosed with prostate cancer 7 years ago, he went from a bouncing happy guy to a dog that couldn't pee or negotiate steps in about two weeks. He was a lovable mutt with border collie hair on a corgi body. It snowed about 6 inches a couple of days before we had to put him down. We said goodbye to him the day of our daughter's 2nd birthday party. There was a freezing rain that crusted over the snow and left his paw prints in the backyard for almost a week. I cried like a baby, like I never have even for a family member. We have another dog now, but it's not the same. Every once in a while we'll talk about him and get a little misty-eyed. Like I am now.

    Remember that saying that beer is proof that God loves us?

    Nope.....it's dogs~

    I am sorry for your loss, Sue. My thoughts are with you.

    Check out the audio stream from the in studio radio session last week here in Colorado Springs. I think it will put a smile on your face.
