Hey guys. Bad news.
My dog just died. Her name was Echo. I grew up with her, she was in the family for as long as I can remember. She suffered seizures and was in pain, so we took her to the vet made the decision to put her to sleep. Hard to believe she was up and active yesterday, especially considering her age. So lively at nearly 14 years... that's pretty good, she had a long life. I just wish my brother had been at home to say goodbye. He had the strongest bond with her.
Here's a picture of her.

Thanks for your support.

I know how you feel. Old dogs that are close to your heart are painful to leave, and our shorthaired pointer suzie was sadly put to sleep because of her leg tumors. I suggest remembering them, But if you truly do feel like it has left a huge hole, waiting a year or so before getting a new dog to have new memories with helps. After suzie died we got lily, a german shepard from the rescue shelter, and it helped us understand that suzie had been as happy as she could be before death.

We do have another sheltie. It's good to still have a four-legged part of the family, that's always happy to see me and does lots of dumb dog things. We've had her since she was a puppy, she is a year and a bit old. She has sort of been our old sheltie's apprentice, and has copied some traits from her. She'll have to bark twice as much now.
