I was just about to post this image of my pal and I enjoying a hike way back in 2008 and I see the sad post from @gostang9 and my thoughts are with you and yours at this time.
As our four legged friends advance in years every day is precious and all too soon all we will have is memories.

 

So sorry to hear about Jasmine.

I was not a big dog person, but fell in love with my wife's Cocker Spaniel when we got married 27 years ago, and she died almost 20 years ago. We missed having a dog so much that we bought the kids a Sheltie soon after the next year, in 2000. I fell in love with her as she was my constant companion when I worked only 2 days a week (disabled). She lived until 2016, dying the day that we took our son to his first year of college away from home.

This time I was so heartbroken that I didn't want another dog, because I didn't want to have to deal with the loss again. That only lasted 2 years and we adopted our Addie at 9 months of age on Memorial Day weekend 2018, from a home that couldn't care for her the way she needed.

So, now my Addie is 2.5 years old, and I see posts of what you're going through with Jasmine, and I know how much it hurts and how hard of a decision you face as to whether to get another dog or not. I pray that you get comfort here and from family and friends after the loss, and can come to a decision easily about what you do after all of this.

Addie sez Hi!

So sorry @gostang9. Thanks for the photos and stories about your girl.

 

Potential new member with a varied taste in watches ?

 

Whadda you lookin' at? Jealous?

 

This...could...be....expensive....

 

Going through the same only 3 weeks ago I know the feeling @gostang9

Sorry for your loss.

Looks like there are plenty of memories preserved in pictures which is always good.

Damn sad news but it looks like jasmine had a happy life. She looks happy in every picture. I always thought smaller dogs had a longer life span. I think my Shepard lived 11-12 years. Anyway always sad to see them go. Sorry to read this.

 

Linus, 2013-2020. We gave you a good life, now sleep well until we meet again.

 

So sorry

 

So sorry to read this, I'm afraid I know all too well how it feels. It's devastating as they really, really become a part of you. Best of luck to you and the family.

 

So sorry. Too short of a life.

 

Too short indeed.

 

Not thrilled with his photo shoot.
