Title: RIP Baxter
Post by: ILIKEHEVI-13 on August 18, 2012, 03:05:51 PM
Lost a good dog today.  Thanks for all the good times Baxter.  Wife took it pretty hard.  We sure were close to that dog.  He was part of the family and a great friend.  I'll miss him.

Thanks men.  Baxter chased one too many vehicles.  He got hit by a guy pulling a bass boat.  The trailer got him.  He apparently died instantly. 

Here's a picture of Baxter.  One of the best dogs I ever had.

Sorry to hear it.  They become part of the family, don't they?

I hate to hear about that. We lost a good dog a few years ago and I have to admit that I took it just as hard as any family member.

Hate to hear that. You cant replace a pet that has become a family member.

Sorry to hear of your loss. My turkeydog "Kee-Kee" was hit by a vehicle 3 nights ago. Her pelvis is broke in 4 places. Luckily the Vet said 2-3 months she should be able to hunt if all goes well. My fingers are crossed. I've always heard after the loss of a pet the best thing to do is get another ASAP to help ease the void. Good Luck.

Thanks again guys.  And I too am sorry for any of you that had to go through this.  It's not easy, but I guess at the end of the day it was the hand we were dealt.  Life goes on and I for one will hopefully live to see another day.  But man it was just a bad day.  The hard part was telling my wife.  I feel her pain.  She loved that dog more than any she had.

Sorry to hear about your dog Brad.  I've heard people scoff at the idea that a dog is part of the family.  They're nuts.  It sucks to lose a pet.  My condolences.

Dog's lives are too short.  It's really their only fault.

My condolences. They are just like our children. We raise them from birth, train them,feed them and give them love so we cant help to love them as such. Sorry for your loss.

I feel you pain. We have a shitzu that we got from the local pound last year, and I'm not sure my wife would survive if something happened to her. Whether we want to admit it or not, for most of us, pets, whether they be dogs, cats, horses or pot bellied pigs, become our "kids" at some point, and losing them is painful.
