dog training tips and questions

Well our old pup just got put down this afternoon. She had been diagnosed with bladder cancer a while back. Meds only did so much.
An old man like me having to load a 100 pound dog into the back seat of the pickup was a circus. Fortunately she has always liked to ride and once I got her up all I had to do was help her with her hind quarters to get up the ramp. Once we got to the vets office it took a crew to get her out and onto a stretcher to carry her in.
Once we made the decision we knew we had to make she was asleep and then down in just a few minutes.
This one is hitting me harder then most of them have over the years, even the ones that I had to put down were easier then this one. Have to wonder if it's because I'm not far from that time.
I had to put my old down this past spring. He and I were best friends. At the end I was his eyes. I think these relationships mean more to us as we get older and understand the true value of the bond. Maybe we're just getting soft? Sorry for your loss, Lou

We're getting something but I don't think it's soft. I have a 10 week old puppy helping me write this and I know that he'll be my last... I'm crowding 67 so we'll grow old together. Getting him really made me think about how much longer I'll be enjoying life here, and how short it is.

Tough on you Mr. Lou. Sorry to hear the news. It brings back some hard memories and deep emotions.

I believe there's some truth to what you said about it having more effect as we get older, and closer to our own last days...
