do your job, then let go
That's hard. People come and go in our lives, it is expected. Somehow we expect a pet to be there all time, becasue, while they are with us, they are there for us all the time.

They seem to make such wonderful pets and quickly become part of the family. My condolences. Moses is now at peace.

my autofocus is broken.
This place is like a home to a lot of us. I guess that makes us like (to a much lesser extent, obviously) family.
It's always hard to watch the people around you dealing with loss.
I'm so sorry, G'man. I hope you guys are all right.

Very sorry to read this.
This seemed appropriate, it's a poem by Ben Hur Lampman, 1925:
Named, "The best place to bury a dog"
THE BEST PLACE TO BURY A DOG
"There is one best place to bury a dog.
If you bury him in this spot, he will
come to you when you call - come to you
over the grim, dim frontier of death,
and down the well-remembered path,
and to your side again.
And though you call a dozen living
dogs to heel, they shall not growl at
him, nor resent his coming,
for he belongs there.
People may scoff at you, who see
no lightest blade of grass bent by his
footfall, who hear no whimper, people
who may never really have had a dog.
Smile at them, for you shall know
something that is hidden from them,
and which is well worth the knowing.
The one best place to bury a good
dog - is in the heart of his master."

I'm very sorry, Dave. The only thing wrong with dogs is that they don't live long enough. I have also had to bury a good friend. I still miss her.

...i am sorry to hear of your loss.
for many of us, our pets are familiy members, they are there when we come home tired/aggravated/angry/frustrated/etc with the world/work/traffic/etc. they are unconditionally "there for us".
they share the joys of of family and children/parties/reunions/football and/or basketball and/or hockey what-have-you parties - i had a friend whose dog would nose-up the cooler lid during a party and snatch out ice cubes to snack on - to the surprised and amused on-lookers delight.
about nine years ago my cat, cleo, passed away in the night. she was 16 years old and just died in her sleep. she was comfortably streched out on her side on a rug by the sofa. i was devestated. i could not believe she was gone. at that time there was practically no one - aside from family - i had even known that long. she was even my roadtrip pal...took her to chicago, moved around from houston to dallas to tulsa to austin.
she left a lot of good memories with me. no shortage of "cute" and otherwise cat pictures. it was awhile before i let myself get attached to another cat. but i did.
i hope you will remember the best of times and understand you did all you could have done. at first i put myself on the rack for any number of imagined deficiencies or mistakes i thought i might have made in caring for her in the past days/weeks/months. my wife helped me realize it was a useless road to go down, that i had been caring and conscientious and provided her with a good home.
i apologize for going on and on here - brevity is my short suit - my hope was to help with your loss by sharing my experience with losing cleo. they say " time heals all wounds" or something like that. it has helped me. i also had the help of my wife and sister.
there will be better days ahead. take care.

Sorry to hear the news, Dave, but, as Brett and Kenneth aptly put it, it's time to think of the memories and experiences you had with Moses. It'll help you recover and, of course, it'll put a big smile on your face. Moses was, I'm sure, a good boy... thanks to you!
Take care!

Film is the other way
Dear Dave and Sue, I've been away and only found this thread. I'm shocked and saddened. Dogs are my favourite and truly mans best friend. I know I would be devastated so both of you being so close to Moses are going thru a very lonely time. Remember him well, he is in a better place now.
best wishes, Jan
