Worst day ever!

**Pony_Eater** · 08-04-2011, 11:21 PM

was out behind my house at this park playin catch with my friend and I took my black lab hunting dog with me. She always goes with me and is the best trained dog I have ever owned. On the way back up the hill My dog ran accross the street and was hit by an Suv. She died in my arms on the way to the vet. Im still in complete shock about the whole situation. .....I dont expect a response I just needed to get it out

That's got to be so very hard. I'm so sorry that happened

**0rion** · 08-04-2011, 11:24 PM

damn....sorry to hear that. Losing the good ones is a tough thing to go through for sure.

Condolences Brett. I've lost a dog before. They become like family members over time. Keep your spirits up buddy and when the time is right, go find yourself another pup!

Damn bro, I’m so sorry to hear about this. I don’t know what I would do if this had happened to one of my dogs. My dogs are like my kids, just hairier and more slobber lol. Just be strong and remember her for all the good times and the crazy things she did to make you laugh, it always helps. Keep your head up bro, it will get better.

I feel your pain my friend. We lost or Shepherd 2 days after Christmas this year due to unknown internal comlpications..
Hits hard as they become so engrained in family and everyday life. Our "Lucy" was like yours, the best dog I'd ever had.
She was the best Den mother with our little girl one could ask for, she too died as I held her.

At least she had you there for her as comfort when she pasted. I know that does'nt make it any easier for you..
But at least she was loved and did'nt die alone.. Good companions are hard to replace..
My condolances, to you and yours.

I'm sorry to hear of your loss.

**cobra259** · 08-05-2011, 06:23 AM

Sorry to hear of your loss! My thoughts are with you!

**Pony_Eater** · 08-05-2011, 10:16 AM

Thanks everyone. After I wrote this I went down and buried her next to my old hunting dog that died earlier this year under an oak tree below my house. That was the hardest thing Ive ever done. My family is away for the week so I had to do it alone.

Damn bro my heart goes out to you...I don't even want to think about my dog passing. If that SUV driver was speeding I hope you beat the shit out of him.

seriously? Doesn't matter if they were speeding or not. Not sure if you've ever had a dog, deer, or anything else run out in front of you but it's almost impossible to stop in time regardless of how fast you're going. This was just a terrible accident.

Tragic accident. But an accident none the less.

So you're saying speed isn't a factor in determining stopping distance? Not only is it a huge factor but driving slower also gives you a better reaction time and you can see more of what's going on around/in front of you. I'm not saying the dog could've been avoided 100% but it sure doesn't help if someone is hauling ass down the road. If someone is speeding and hits a kid they're done. It wouldn't even matter if the kid just popped out of no where...lawyers would have their ass for breakfast. But because it's a dog no one gives a shit except the owner and people that can relate to the owner.

I am sorry to hear this, I know it is tough. Get you another puppy when the time is right though.

**cammed goat** · 08-05-2011, 04:30 PM

Condolences offered. Dogs are family/best/blessed friends. Fun loving, loyal and perceptive. A very tight bond that lasts til the end.

**DrMilhouse** · 08-05-2011, 05:18 PM

Oh damn... man I'm so sorry to hear that. I know with the love I have for my boy, you're a hurtin' guy right now.

**Pony_Eater** · 08-06-2011, 08:59 AM

Ps the car wasnt speeding. It was just strting to pull out of a parking lot maybe going 15 but accelerating as it hit my dog.

**silverWS6** · 08-06-2011, 09:51 AM

Sorry for you loss man, I just lost my childhood dog a while back. Hardest thing ever to get home and find out he's gone. I know right now your probably not even thinking about getting another pup, thats how i was but then I was given a boxer pup and its strange man, this pup resembles my old dog in so many ways!
