R.I.P Sasha , really hard to lose a member of the family.

 

[jadenchick]

I’m so sorry for your loss. RIP Sasha. It’s just not fair they don’t live as long as us. I’m glad the treatments gave you a bit more time with her.

...Really sorry about the loss of your dog...I’m sure if I were to get another dog I would be less miserable in my life but then if I were to lose that dog It would just bring back the misery...

 

[RiverDave]

I appreciate it guys.. I came home and noticed that she was laying kinda facing a wall in between two chairs.. She had her head on a folded up towel and I thought that was kinda weird because dogs typically always lay facing an entry or exit point. Any how she was breathing normal but was unable to pick her head up.
We comforted her and her breathing just slowed and when I told her it was ok she stopped.

I am very happy that she got to pass in her home with her family knowing how much we all loved her.

 

[RCDave]

So sorry Dave. Wish I could say something that made it better for you and family. The feelings experienced when losing a dog is inexplicable

When I lost Neva it just about broke me as a person..

This is terribly sad, but again if it was gonna happen, it happened about as gracefully and with as much love as possible.

The kids, especially my youngest took it pretty hard the first day. That was also heart breaking. When the service came to pick her up my son and oldest daughter told them “You aren’t taking her.” My youngest pretty much never left her side.

She was very much a part of our family and more than “a dog.” I’m pretty depressed about it, but as with everything we will press on.

I have a lump in my throat after that last post.

Sorry to hear Dave.

 

[Kenny D]

So sorry for your lost

 

[brianwhiteboy]

And with that last picture...some people wonder why we care more about animals than humans at times. RIP Sasha.

Now time to find that onion someone dropped in here....

 

[4Waters]

I have a lump in my throat after that last post.☹

Not just a lump in my throat, I'm flat crying.

I’ve got to admit my eyes were a little watery also as I sit out here on the boat with my old guy, what I fear may be his last summer. damn dogs

 

[WhatExit?]

Sorry for your loss. Your kids grew up with Sasha - she may be the only dog they've ever known which makes it super tough for you all.

Rest well knowing that you all and Sasha loved each other unconditionally and you both gave everything which is all you can hope for

 

[Bails]

sorry to hear this Dave. It's got to be tough on the kids. I had to put mine down last January. My boy still talks about her.

 

[havasuhusker]

Sorry to hear about Sasha. Losing pets are hard, or as hard as losing people. My condolences goes out to you and your family.

For more personal reasons I’m gonna upload these photos for later.. seems they always get lost in the shuffle on the phones, and then you get a new one and they are gone.

I can always find them in here soo..

She used to watch the sunset most nights.. only dog I know that would do that all the time.. only time she wouldn’t is if it was too hot outside and I wouldn’t let her out (with her fur it would take hours to get her cooled back down)

 

[Flyinbowtie]

I am very sorry, Dave.
Your kids are just a little younger than our sons were when we lost Cody, our "left at the bottom of the Driveway" Lab/Shepard/Golden mix.
Your dog reminds me a lot of him. It was hell on Christopher, he loved that dog and was bonded to him...well like your children were to yours.
Us grown ups have been through it before, and while it hurts like hell, watching our children grieve is something that is just devistating, and there isn't anything we can do but hug them. Dogs are such an incredible gift, and while we know the day will come, and the grieving will be hell, we always seem to go back and find a new canine friend.
I think humans and dogs were just meant to be together.
You and your family will be in our thoughts. I just showed Cindy these pics and she turned away...tears forming...

Thx buddy.. most the reason I posted all the pics so I could reference them later.. emotionally it’s up and down.. mostly just empty inside and numb.. feel like somethings missing.

It’s the little shit like when I wake up to get out of bed for the last 9 years I gotta make sure I don’t step on the dog.. and now there isn’t even a dog bed there. Or waiting for her to bark when someone comes to the house etc..

I will say I never took for granted the security a large protective animal brings with them. I never used to lock the front door when I left because I figured “who the hell is gonna walk in there with that bear sitting in there barking at them.” Lol

back to the trusty cameras and guns for now..

RD, looks like Sasha quite possibly had the best family a dog could have had without you not knowing her previous relationships. I'm sure she's looking down on the family right now and say "It'll be fine".
RIP Sasha.

 

[HBCraig]

Damn dude. What a bummer. I have put down 2 of my Goldens and my current golden is pushing 11. I can't go through this shit again

Sorry Dave. Never easy brother

 

[DB / HAV]

Great pictures Dave! I have to tell you, my eyes got pretty foggy, but this one helped a lot, great pup!

Many of my best friends have been puppy dogs.

 

[Moneypit]

You're a good man River Dave...You rescued her from a likely short stay at the pound, and gave her 9 years of a loving family to protect. I'm quite sure that job gave her immeasurable joy as she bonded deeply with your young family, and they, to her.....Give it a little while to pass and then let your kids have a "say so" about your next generous rescue effort... You're a good man River Dave, and remember, "All Dogs go to heaven"....
So sorry for your loss...
Ray

 

[Bullhead bully]

I’m so sorry for your loss Dave !

 

[RiverDave]

Stacy keeps posting pics so I keep stealing em..

 

[Smooth Mvr]

Looks like a Sasha to me or possibly a Tasha short for natasha, but I'm open to suggestions..

When I picked her up the guy said "we won't be needing this anymore". And handed me a small case. Inside was a tranquilizer gun and spots for 8 darts.. He said the two left would get me as far as Parker after that it's lead pipe time.. Told me to watch for the ears.. When they go up like a pyramid something bad is about to happen.

My vote is for " Valium "

Outstanding photos. Those were sure HER kids. Special dogs like her are never forgotten.
