A ride to just clear our heads .......
« on: April 02, 2012, 08:54:47 PM »

No pictures from this ride, the wife and I just needed to do a little 2 wheel therapy after having to put down one of our dogs today.  After getting back from the vet, we jumped on the bike and just started riding.  We had no destination in mind, the main objective was to just get our heads into the wind and try to ease the pain.  We rode the back roads for a couple of hours and stopped to eat and then headed for home.

Krunch was a sweet and loving Miniature Pinscher that we rescued from the local animal shelter almost 8 years ago.  We weren't quite sure how old he was when we got him since he was picked up as a stray, but they estimated him to be between 4 & 5 years old.  This little guy was a lover boy and was a big time mamas boy.  He started losing weight a couple of weeks ago, even though he was eating every day.  Then within the last week he quit eating his dinner, but he would still eat his treats for going outside to do his business and would go crazy for his nightly treat of peanut butter.  Then within the last 3-4 days he started to rapidly lose weight and quit taking treats and didn't even want his peanut butter.  Yesterday he started having difficulty breathing and the wife and I made the hard decision to have him put to sleep.

I know it was the best thing for him, but I still wish my little buddy was around to share his love and bring a smile to our faces.

Really sorry to hear about Krunch. I have a 16 year old Maltese named Scooter. She is still active but I know that day will come. Pets are family.

Sorry to hear about your little friend Krunch.  I have four Yorkies from ages 2 to 10 and I can't imagine ever having to make that decision like you and your wife did.  My thoughts are with you both tonight and just remember the good times that your little buddy brought to your life.

Keith, sorry for the loss of your best friend.  Its one of the hardest but best thing to do when they get to this point
of there life.  We had to do this three times already.  Time heals but they are never forgotten. 
Take care and hold your wife to help make things better.

So sorry to hear about your loss! We've had to to help a few of our dogs accross the rainbow bridge as well. It really sucks because they are such giving friends. Hurts for a long time. May you remember all of the good times Krunch brought into your lives.

It tears your heart.  Had to let my Jake go...  Eleven years a trusted friend. The vet asked if I wanted to be with Jake when he was put down. It was a choice I was given, but not one I could bring myself to do.  I will always remember Jake's face looking at me as I left.  It tears your heart.  Time heals and maybe in time you guys will get another rescue puppy.

Also remember, Krunch had good times and memories of spending time with you as well, he was a member of the family.
