Honestly, I wasn't sure if I was going to post anything about this, but on Tuesday, we had to say goodbye far too soon to our sweet McKenzie, our, Lab/something mix who left us far too soon due to poisoning from eating too much compost and complications that developed as a result. She was an absolute sweetheart of a dog who was developing into quite the (unpredictable) fishing companion....she will be sorely missed...

Ah man, so sorry. How old was she?

I have two lab mixes. My older is 14 and going blind/deaf. Last week she gave me terrible sad eyes as i left her home for first time wet wading the S Fork Snoqualmie, her favorite place. I cannot risk loosing her cause she chases things and can no longer hear me to get come back. She is a Lab, Doxin and Chow mix

Lord knows it is hard enough to loose one when you can see it coming. It is just not right to have it smack you this way. They do become a fabric in our lives. Nothing I can do or say except give my new pup an extra scratch while I can.

Very sad to lose a canine friend. We love them. We raise them and care for them and might even train them. It's not supposed to be like this. I nursed back to health two pets in my time...Both were from poisoning. One was my dog Bennie in HS ...he got into my chemistry set . and his crap glowed in the yard for a week...another was a cat I loved that drank wash out water while i was painting the house... We were lucky. I am so sorry for your loss.

Truly sorry to hear, Randall. That's a tough one. I can relate, as most others here. It's never easy and it hurts like hell. I just had to put my 10 YO Vizsla, Odie down in March. Best wishes for you and your family.

I am sorry for your loss. I lost a McKenzie two years ago as well and she will never be forgotten

Get back on the bike and you will not regret it :)
