Go for a ride? Mans best copilots!

I recognize that look, except with a towel. Cole hates getting a bath, he actually turns into quite a little Devil. He has been known to draw a little blood (my wifes).
After his bath we give him an old towel to take out his agression on, fun for all of us.

They go everywhere we go and love it!!

 

Any ways took the dog for Ice cream monday but bummer the place was closed; what 10:30 am too early for Ice Cream? Darn..So went to Napa to see if I could get a motor mount catalog to peruse but the place was packed [like three lines ten deep!] so I didn't wait around...Stopped at a dog park on the way home and he laid down in the shade and let a couple puppies horras him..No pics cause I forgot I had the camera, five minutes from Napa..Sheesh!!.

 

Been there, done that.
No, really, I personally have done that, laid down right next to the other old dogs, that's the best part of getting old, "ya don't gotta worry what other people think".

 

Goin fer a RIDE!

We're both gittin a leetil grey around the muzzel

 

Last Friday I had to have my beautiful best friend of 10½ years put down. Daisy, my Basset Hound developed an inoperable tumor over her right eye and due to her age and it's location the vet said there was nothing that could be done. I feel like I buried my heart along with her.

 

I'm so sorry Muttley. Last year was my year to lose my boys, and it's rough to do.

 

Beautiful dogs, man. I have two shepherds myself. Honestly, they're like my kids.

 

That's some tough stuff, right there. I'm really sorry Muttley.

 

Muttly, we all feel your pain...

 

Muttly,, Daisy will be waiting at the Rainbow Bridge for you.
Sorry for your loss.
Al

 

Muttly......I'm so sorry to hear about Daisy!...truly I am...I know that sadness all too well....I'm sorry man!

 

So sorry Muttley. Just try to remember your good times with Daisy.

Gary

 

To all of us that have allowed the Love of a Dog into our lives we understand how hard it is to say good-bye when that time comes.....
They are not just Dogs, they become important members of our Family.....
Muttley my deepest sympathy.

 

Thanks Fedman, I was having problems putting the right words together.
Muttley, we are all thinking of you and Daisy right now.

 

I'm so sorry for your loss, Muttley.

Kevin

 

So sorry Muttley, lost my last dog unexpectedly, know the pain. This one's a pup <-, he should outlive me, that's the plan.

 

Deepest condolences Muttley. Having lost my Shiva this year... it's hard to get over but I try to remember the joy of their companionship.

 

Thanks guys. It's hard to believe how empty my house feels without her here.

 

Hi Muttley.Sorry for your loss.BTDT.It just sucks.

Some of you, particularly those who think they have recently lost a dog to “death”, don’t really understand this. I’ve had no desire to explain, but won’t be around forever and must.

Dogs never die. They don’t know how to. They get tired, and very old, and their bones hurt. Of course they don’t die. If they did they would not want to always go for a walk, even long after their old bones say:” No, no, not a good idea. Let’s not go for a walk.” Nope, dogs always want to go for a walk. They might get one step before their aging tendons collapse them into a heap on the floor, but that’s what dogs are. They walk.

It’s not that they dislike your company. On the contrary, a walk with you is all there is. Their boss, and the cacaphonic symphony of odor that the world is. Cat poop, another dog’s mark, a rotting chicken bone ( exultation), and you. That’s what makes their world perfect, and in a perfect world death has no place.

However, dogs get very very sleepy. That’s the thing, you see. They don’t teach you that at the fancy university where they explain about quarks, gluons, and Keynesian economics. They know so much they forget that dogs never die. It’s a shame, really. Dogs have so much to offer and people just talk a lot.

When you think your dog has died, it has just fallen asleep in your heart. And by the way, it is wagging it’s tail madly, you see, and that’s why your chest hurts so much and you cry all the time. Who would not cry with a happy dog wagging its tail in their chest. Ouch! Wap wap wap wap wap, that hurts. But they only wag when they wake up. That’s when they say: “Thanks Boss! Thanks for a warm place to sleep and always next to your heart, the best place.”

When they first fall asleep, they wake up all the time, and that’s why, of course, you cry all the time. Wap, wap, wap. After a while they sleep more. (remember, a dog while is not a human while. You take your dog for walk, it’s a day full of adventure in an hour. Then you come home and it’s a week, well one of your days, but a week, really, before the dog gets another walk. No WONDER they love walks.)

Anyway, like I was saying, they fall asleep in your heart, and when they wake up, they wag their tail. After a few dog years, they sleep for longer naps, and you would too. They were a GOOD DOG all their life, and you both know it. It gets tiring being a good dog all the time, particularly when you get old and your bones hurt and you fall on your face and don’t want to go outside to pee when it is raining but do anyway, because you are a good dog. So understand, after they have been sleeping in your heart, they will sleep longer and longer.

But don’t get fooled. They are not “dead.” There’s no such thing, really. They are sleeping in your heart, and they will wake up, usually when you’re not expecting it. It’s just who they are.

I feel sorry for people who don’t have dogs sleeping in their heart. You’ve missed so mu

Yoda had a great visit at the Engels car show on Vashon Island.
He got spoiled with free hot dogs and hamburgers from the nice show organizer Paul Engels.
Was a fantastic day to visit the island and spend the day with some wonderful people!

" Breeze "and my brother Fred commuted 15 miles each way to work and back Daily for over ten years car or Motorcycle , she loved to ride

 

SanDiegoHighwayman, your post brought tears to my eyes just thinking about our dog best friends we've loved and lost over the years . My current best friend a yellow Lab named Maggie just turned eight years old. I can't even bring myself to think about her not being here anymore. She is such a huge part of our lives.

Muttley, I know nothing will ever replace Daisy but the best thing you can do is get a new Best Friend. It will be good for both of you.

Yeah, big bad Hot Rodders crying while they are typing. Just enjoy every day you have with your dog Best Friends.
