I just looked at the area with Google Street View and it still seems like a dumpy, run down area. Needless to say, a very sad story to share to share with us here.
I just lost my 12-year-old Golden Retriever, I never thought how much it would have affected me. Now I understand.
Terrible!
The look on her face just screams “WHY? Why has this happened to me.”
I would release my inner monster on the person responsible.
Yeah I just looked at it myself, believe or not it looks cleaned up, when I worked there there was abandoned furniture, appliances and garbage all in the street, it was literally a dumping ground for everything. I remember there was a couch by where the entrance was, 460 Kingsland. Maybe the city finally got it’s act together and patrols it now, I hope.
My problem is do I want to do it all over again and suffer the heartbreak. I want another BC that’s a clone of the one I lost but some friends think that’s creepy. Anyway, still not sure.
I tried that. After I lost my first English setter I went quite awhile without a dog. After I married I decided that a dog like him would be a good experience for the kids. I went to the same breader and asked him to fix me up with another just like him. I ended up with a dog with a completely different personality. Not his fault. I’ve known twins that were completely different. I certainly understand your longing tho.
Well I guess it wouldn’t hurt to try. Some friends gave me names of breeders and I contacted one and he said he’d have a litter to go sometime end of summer.
The picture of the mom looks like she’s asking if someone was going to be hurting her again. Sad.
The one you’ve lost will always be special and irreplaceable. If you’re fond of the breed because it’s a particularly good fit for your personality and life, then that’s one thing, go ahead and find another one to love. But, don’t expect a clone of the dog you’re still mourning. He or she won’t be, and that’s OK.
Thanks for that. It helps my understanding.
They just don’t live as long as we do, and that’s such a shame. The bond between a good dog and his person really is something to experience. I’d prefer it be for my whole life, but that’s not to be. It is for theirs, though.
Beautiful girl. Very sorry for your loss.
True. A dog has just as expressive face as any human. The difference is that the dog’s is always sincere.
There are people on this forum that not only tolerate this, but nearly applaud it.
To them, there is no difference between a dog, cat, or cockroach, or bacteria.
Animals are lifeless objects to them.
