Lost my Great Dane today.

[Big_John]

Thanks everybody. House was pretty special to me.

I've had a bunch of dogs over the years and it's hard to let go, but it's part of the deal and I know that... Doesn't make it easier, but I know that he's not suffering anymore.

I think we might be done with dogs for a while. This is the first time in 35 years that there wasn't a dog in my house and that's going to take some getting used to, but I think we need a break.

But... I've said stuff like that before... I said "no more cars" once too. LOL.

Heartbreaking. Im sorry to hear this, John. He led a great life. He is in a better place now.

Sorry for your lost. They just don't live long enough, but I will always have a dog they just bring so much joy and unconditional love to your life.

Sorry to hear this news. Lost my old guy in October, had him 15 years. He always rode shotgun in my car, miss the company.

So sorry for your loss John. Dogs are family. We once had 2 female retrievers that each had litters of 11 at the same time. Plenty of love around with 22 golden pups in the barn.

What a beautiful boy. So sorry.

Sorry mate, personally I prefer dogs to people
We only got 8 years out of Thor our Dane/Wolfhound X , I still tear up ten years later
Dog = Unconditional love

It's a mistake, too demanding of time I no longer wanna give

So sorry for your loss John. I know I don't know you but I truly know your pain from the loss and the tuff decision you had to make... I lost my Doberman 'Diesel' back in march from a long struggle and never thought I'd get through it... I posted here and all the guys chimed in about their experiences and I realized I wasn't alone... I know your House is playing right now with Diesel .... Best to you, Dave

C'mon John.....you know you want a puppy.

John, I am very sorry for your loss, but like others said you gave him a great life after his rescue. My wife are on dog #4 and he is for sure hers, not sure what will happen when he is gone.
