So sorry Tiger. Bye Magnetodog – good lad.

Sorry to hear this Tiger… We lost 3 pets in 6 months…. It’s painful but does get easier with time….

Tiger, that sucks. remember all the good times. You’ve done the right thing for him. Murphy looked a great dog, and Magnetodog will not be forgotten around here. all the best

Virtual hug from me too…..I feel your pain!

??

Must be the worst choice to have to make but if he was suffering you’ve done the kindest thing 😥

Our black lab has just turned 12 and we’re going to have to make the same decision soon. He had a lump removed and beat cancer a couple years ago but it’s come back again in his mouth now. He’s ok at the moment but the vet said it’ll probably only be a few months max before it gets to the point where it’ll start affecting him 🙁

Virtual hugs.

We lost our first 2 hounds within 3 months of each other – heartbreaking. Our current 2 are 10 and 11 and sadly it now comes up in conversation as to how we’d cope. Choccy lab Darcey sends hugs.

Bugger ? looks like he’s had a good long life. Not much more you can do now apart from doing the right thing for him.

Not looking forward to that day when it comes for Archie.

Well that was horrible and will go down as one of my worst days ever

Time to hit the whisky

🙁

Thanks for all the replies, it’s quite distracting and cathartic

You’ve done right by him today. I wish we could do right by humans in a similar way, having seen loved ones suffer.

Know the feeling Tiger, it’s horrible. Get your whisky and remember the fun times! Best wishes to you all

So sorry, thinking of you and your family. Almost exactly a year ago we went through it I hope that you, like we eventually did, realise that you have done the best you could have done and that today it was the right thing for him

As awful as it feels when we have to do this, I still wish someone would do this for me when my time comes.

Sorry to hear this Tiger. We had to make that call 3 years and 2 months ago, so know first hand how truly crap it feels. It sounds like you did right by him for 14 years though, and did right by him today. You’ve got a lot of happy memories of him, cling on to them.

Good night Magnetodog and take it easy Tiger.

Cat person here, but I am sorry to hear that – he had such a lovely softie look about him and made me smile more than any sanctimonious cat ever did.

Night MD, best member on here 🙂

Ach, so sorry for your loss T.

Just locked the back door, nobody to let out, nobody to have final one sided chat with before switching the kitchen lights off.

😥

So sorry to hear this Tiger6791…..the memories will be with you forever….remember the love you gave and the love he felt…..best wishes

feel for you was a while before i finished a meal as i always left something for my dog

best wished fella best wishes

Well my christmas present just turned up

Mrs Tiger commissioned a canvas painting from a photo of him from a guy that just does pet portraits, best xmas present eva!!

Now he gets to go on the wall 😀

8)

Lovely pic.

Nice portrait.

You really should stick a magnet behind the canvas so you can occasionally stick a spoon to him from time to time.

It’s a little dusty in here. And 2nd the magnet idea

Nice pic, he looks happy.

Genius!

Definitely doing that 🙂

What a gorgeous pic!!

Wow, that is a lovely pic!
And the magnet idea is pure bloody genius!

Beautiful portrait. Crikey, that’d pull on the heart strings!

Beautiful. I literally have tears in my eyes.

Really like that painting 8) Is the person that did it a professional that does it for a living?

Just asking as we had to have our black lab put down last week and something like that might make a good present for the missus.

That canvas looks stunning.

Although it’s often hard for an artist to capture a pets character, only you as the owner can be the judge of that. Hopefully he has.

Similarly, we had a cracking piece commissioned a couple of years ago, hand burned onto a slab of sycamore and mounted onto the wall.

I’ll try and embed below.

Oh man. 🙁

Mine aren’t one sided…she speaks back to me in a high pitched human voice, although it does seem to be my lips that are moving. 😆

Anyway, great portrait. Has the artist got a website? Might drum up a bit of business from here for him/her.

Canvas is really nicely done. Good one Mrs.Tiger 🙂

Our one talks to my wife when we’re in the park using a similar technique. And then she realises we’re not at home, are in the middle of a conversation with some other dog owners and blushes.

Sorry to hear that Tiger but it sounds like he couldnt have had a better mate

So every ending sparks a new beginning

Nearly a year ago we said goodbye to Murphy (Magnetodog)

This weekend we said hello to these 2. Both rescues that came as an inseparable pair.

They seem to be settling in fine

Neither are magnetic though.
