Saying goodbye to my buddy today.

[Mikael Dez]

He would have turned 13 this summer - it’s hitting the family pretty hard, he’s older than my daughter so she doesn’t know life without him.

 

[JiveTurkey]

Give him all the love and hugs you can. Toughest darn thing to do always. Mojo sent to you and your family

 

[TheTrueZoltan!]

Oh man, so sorry for you and your family. Losing a beloved pet is sooo hard.

 

[duzie]

I’ve been there a few times.
My condolences Mikael

 

[newpedals]

He is beautiful and has a gorgeous soul.

I cannot imagine the pain. My condolences.

Virtual hugs before he crosses the rainbow bridge.

Condolences and big love to the family. Pets ARE family.

I’m so sorry, brother. It’s hard for me to even look at posts like this.

The love from a dog is one of the greater gifts this world offers us and I pity anyone who hasn’t been able to experience that. Even though we know we give them the best lives we possibly can, it doesn’t alleviate any of the pain that hits when we lose them, especially in those times we have to make the call for it to happen.

Best wishes and condolences to you and the fam.

This is harder than what I thought the thread was- saying good bye to a friend.
Honestly our pups are family and trail companions. My Lab is 11 1/2 and although he looks great and still loves to play and run he is much less agile on rocks and needs a ramp to get in truck

So sorry my friend!

So sorry to hear man

Been down this road many times. It's one of the hardest and most loving things you can do

 

[Fishbulb]

So sorry Mikael - I've had a lot of dogs over my lifetime, but had to say goodbye to the one I was the absolute closest with last fall, and I still miss her and think about her every day. Hang in there.

Damn Dude. My condolences. Always incredibly hard days.

 

[Los-D]

Sorry Dude. Tough to lose family members

Condolences Mikael.
A family member is always hard to say goodbye to. I said goodbye to my grandma two days ago knowing I’ll never see her again. Sadly I didn’t get to support my mom during the last hours, and the trip home was awful. But she lives on within me, and the others.
And so will your dog, live inside you and your daughter and all the memories you share together.

My name is Mikael to…. Just a cool side note there.

Thanks everyone for your kind words - my mom and grandfather have passed away, but this hurts worse than those deaths ever did.

My name is spelled Michael - my internet handle became Mikael after seeing how y’all Nordic countries spell it way cooler lol

Well it IS a cool name even if it’s Michael.

Mikha'el is the original Hebrew spelling.

We are one of four arch angels.

So sorry for your loss as well! This stuff is never easy.

 

[spawnofthesith]

So sorry for your loss, these days are always the toughest

 

[la szum]

Ugh!! Sorry, MD. Brutal.

Labs and Retrievers are the bestest!

They also know when it is time, and trust us to do the right thing for them.
Doing the right thing is always harder than not doing it. Kudos to you for
knowing what you know and having an heart big enough to handle and hold
the difficult things.
