Sorry, man. It is losing a family member for sure.

Sorry to hear about Gunner, Shepherds are beautiful dogs, smart, and loyal. Your ex couldn't have had a better companion in the immediate aftermath of the divorce, it's a shame that because of this you lost contact with Gunner but I agree that it was the right decision. It sounds like he had a good life with your ex up until the end, and you'll always have him in your heart.

RIP Gunner.

Saddened by your loss John, I am also currently going through the bereavement of a loved one and will be sure to offer prayers for them both.

Thanks for sharing that story with us GR ... sorry it didn't have a happy ending.

At least you weren't there to hold your dog in your arms ...
I ran over my own dog one time when I was in a hurry to go
somewhere and didn't see her trying to get into the car.

I drove the poor little white poodle to the vet, but the vet was closed (before cell phones) and I just sat there with her dying in my arms crying and trying to understand life.

Another time I was taking care of a friends two dogs while he was on assignment in Africa with one running off to chase coyotes and never came back. Try to explain that one?

Another dog came and laid her head on my knee and I didn't move it, because it made her feel so good. A few days later she died.

Life is good and life can be cruel, but I hope I can find that kind of love in the world we live in.

Peace in th valley is a nice song to listen to
