pretty hard not to read this and feel the same way you do. I'm definitely sorry for your loss. I understand as everyone else does. I had a full blood German rottie when I was younger and he got to breed our neighbors rottie. we got one of their pups and they stayed with us together until Bo (daddy) died naturally while we were away for a camping trip. it almost killed me bc I grew up with him. of course we still had his son Rocky and he lived a long full life as well. almost the same scenario. we came home from being gone and he was laying in his favorite spot where he dug a hole and would sleep in our back shed. i used to sit and lay out in the sun with that dog for hours when I came home from school and I cried like a baby all day after we found him. we haven't owned a Rottie since. hope you get to feeling better with your loss. just think he had a long and wonderful life by your side and he definitely knew you loved him!

From my experience, you can try to pick a dog from the impound but in the end they pick you.

Next time you wander up to the dam give him a little whistle. Shut your eyes. He'll come running.
Think of all the good times......
Don't get too down mate. We all have to go sometime. Be fair to yourself. Ya did everything right.
You have my sympathies, truly. Losing your best mate is the worst thing ever.

Just had to go thru this too last week Steve. We got Nitro as a new Lab-Chow pup. She was to be my 11yr old sons Jr Dragster racing mascot, hence the name. She was our best friend, protector and source of many a belly laugh for the past 13years. She died in my arms at the vet Thursday night a week ago. Friday morning I laid her to rest in her favorite spot in the cool ivy in the back yard. Cried my eyes out doing so. Funny thing yesterday, I was out back talking to her when I noticed a rabbit in the bottom of her yard. Picked up a mud clod off her mound and said this ones for you, dam if I didn't hit it.
