10 years isn’t nearly enough time. 100 years wouldn’t be enough.

So sorry for your loss John.

Well it's Brook's turn.

I've always loved dogs but not Schnauzers. I always considered them a bit too fiesty. My wife brought Brook to live with us when we were married 12 years ago. This sweet toy Schnauzer was such a good lovable dog.

She loved to go fishing and would stand beside me all day on the front of my bass boat looking into the water waiting for one to bite.

She loved to go everywhere else too. We were in Utah a few years ago and a doe came up to her in the campground. Brook tried to make friends but that deer tried to stomp her.

She'd been struggling with heart issues and a few days ago just couldn't lay down for more than 5 or 10 minutes. Took her to the Vet last night and her pericardium (heart sack) was full of fluid. Doc said to live she would need periodic oxygen and quality of life wouldn't be much. We chose to let her go.

Harder on my wife than me, but these damn dogs bring so much love and joy and it's heartbreaking when they leave.

Only a dog person could really understand.

I've talked to my wife about it. When we're ready I want to go to the pound and rescue a new joyful companion.

Dogs teach us love and how to let go and receive more.

Now it’s morning and I’m shedding a tear for the family of a VERY good boy. It is just totally unfair that dogs don’t live as long as we do.

RIP Milo.

Prove that that is a warranted demand.

For all those I’ve missed, beyond words I’m sorry. July is a hard month for me. July 1st will be Rowdy’s birthday, and she had her seizure or stroke on July 1 of 2022. I still see so many pictures and videos of her and have so many wonderful memories.

Praying hope and happiness and new found memories with new found pups for you all.

My Lula is a stunner and I love her dearly…

My bad and misspelled proof as prove. Was simply pointing out the dogs should live as long as their owners. Wasn't trying to ask anyone to prove anything. Hope that clears it up for you.

Makes total sense now. Sorry for the tone. I just wanted to immediately squash any of that stuff. It was a really random demand! LMAO
