Got some sad news, I lost my garden buddy this week. We had to put our dog Tank down. He was a 1/2 Shepherd, 1/2 Black Lab that was the constant companion for 15 years. He was a dog's dog, always ready to go and right there with you no matter what you were doing, sun up to sun down. Never took a collar, never strayed far, great with kids, guard dog, one of the fastest and smartest dogs I've ever seen, and death do mice, skunks, coons, rabbits, squirrels, and even the occasional fawn.

We've had many good dogs but never one like him. He was just that kind of dog, king of the manor and owned it like he signed and paid the mortgage himself. We are blessed with the time we had as he lived nearly twice as long as dogs his size, but would give nearly anything for just one more walk around the place. He was the best I've ever known and it will never be the same without him. RIP good buddy.

Condolences. We lost our 12 year old english pointer a little over a year ago..

Sorry for your loss. Tank sounds like he was a gteat buddy.

He sounds like a great dog. My condolences. It is always so hard to lose our companions.

yes, dogs have taught me many lessons over the years, from my friends German Shepherd who could say “river” when we went fishing to Mom’s Yorkie who learned “spelled” words.
After my fathers passing she sometimes looked up in the air as if looking at something, always made me wonder.

I’m sorry for your loss. It was great that ya’ll were together for so long. Lab and Shepherd, my favorite two dogs, and a mix, what could be any better that that. RIP good buddy.

I lost my best buddy a year ago, but he will always be there in my heart.

It’s hard when a pup leaves us. Ours has been gone 3 years.
We have a flower garden over her. She was something, loved to play golf and had very good golf manners.

Hugs for you and Tank. He looks like a grand being. I lost my best friend ten years ago and still cry over her. She was one of those special dogs, too. They never leave our hearts.

Beautiful dog. May he rest in peace.

I’m so sorry. I know too well how it feels. It’s clear that with you, Tank had the best life a dog can have.

Sad to hear of your loss.
If you keep fond memories in your heart, your friend will always be with you.

Condolences on your loss. I loved our black lab, she was great unless she accidentally got loose from the fenced in part of the yard, or snuck out the front door behind you.

Then she would run all over the neighborhood bouncing like tigger, and totally play the catch me if you can game. The grand kids called her JoJo the bouncing dog.
