Neo 1999-2011


He was about 12 years old and in a lot of pain, so we had to let him go.

He could be the biggest pain in the butt.. but I will still miss him. :(

Rest in Peace buddy.

My sympathies to you both. It is never easy to lose someone you love, human or otherwise.

My sympathies, Curtis. I haven't had to put down a pet in a long time, and my girl now isn't even 4 yet, so hopefully it'll be yet another long while lol

Sorry to hear that buddy. My parents put my dog down 2 years ago. She was 18 and I was 22. I cried because it was like losing the closest friend I ever had. She was all I ever knew. Take it easy my friend.

well im sure that he had about as good of a life as a dog could possibly hope to have, so take comfort in that.

and while he may physically be gone, he still lives on with you as long as you don't forget.

and take solstice in the fact that energy is a constant and can't be created or destroyed. So technically his "soul" is still around. only now its thermal energy or a photon of light traveling through the galaxy. and eventually the particles that had assembled to create your dog will one day become something or someone else.

in 15 years your dog could be a tree.

My condolences Curtis and sympathies. We went thru similar circumstances with our dog last year. He was my first dog. I was and am still amazed at how much I miss him.

that is very sad, i have gone through losing two in my life, one small rat terrier miniature fox terrier mix, and a Shetland sheep dog. the small one, believed to be eaten by coyotes. the Shetland lived to a ripe old age of over 16, before having thyroid and arthritis problems, we had to put him down. they are your best friends, and they all go to a "Doggie Heaven". my condolences go out to you from the bottom of my heart. he will always be with you, in memory, and spirit.

loosing a dog is one of the worst things in a person's life, only shadowed by loosing a family member. they truly give you pure unconditional love.

you just have to take comfort in knowing you gave your best buddy the best life you were capable of.

i also find it comforting to keep my sappho's ashes right on top of the tv. (i spend a lot of time watching tv)

Thank you, and my condolences to her as well.

It's true, thank you.

Thank you Will, and I hope she has a long and healthy life.

Thank you. It's crazy when you think in my case he has been around for over a 1/4 of my life. He was 4 years older then my youngest child and 4 years younger then my middle child.

Well put.. thank you.

We have a Dalmatian that is just over a year old. It is very apparent that she misses him too, but I think it's going to take some time before we are ready for another one.


What a fine steed you have lost :(.

He really was. He was a pretty good boy. As always he could be quite the pain in the butt, but he was always there to greet us, and we ALWAYS knew when someone was at the door.. who needs a door bell. :)


My condolences Curtis and sympathies. We went thru similar circumstances with our dog last year. He was my first dog. I was and am still amazed at how much I miss him.

Thank you. I miss him quite a bit, but my wife is going to have a tough time for a while. Seems he was always within a 10 foot radius of her. She could take him out in the front yard with no leash and he would just sit in watch over her or the kids.

Thanks man. Sorry about yours as well.

Thank you. Always trying to please it seemed. We thought about keeping the ashes, but my wife didn't want the constant reminder he was gone.


Sorry to hear that, Curtis. My condolences.

Thank you, it is much appreciated.

Losing a family pet is like losing part of your family :( Sorry to hear this man.
