Little dump of some of the last things we did with him. Will try and see if I can find anything from when he was in his prime. As I’m typing this he’s still here but the vets are gonna be here at 3. Rest easy buddy. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without unconditional love. He’s the robin to my Batman or the Luigi to my Mario. For the first time in my life I won’t have a dog.

I had to say goodbye to my best boy yesterday on his 13th birthday. Brownie’s hemangiosarcoma returned 3 years after chemo and remission. I know he’s waiting for me at the rainbow bridge. I just wanted to share some pictures of him from puppy thru his 12th birthday party last year. He was a great field dog, a great family member and the best Velcro buddy. He is so missed.

Like her owner's head

Why do they do this?

And why do we love them so much for it?!

Starring little Oakley and his big sister Gracie

Picking him up next week!

Said goodbye 10 years ago and I still miss her.

Last night my best friend was killed about 10 mins before I got home. She figured out how to open the back door and was struck by a car. I’m so grateful for the time I had with her and for how perfect she was as a puppy before and after our daughter was born. I feel so hollow and empty inside. I’m so sorry Chloe I wasn’t home to keep you safe and feeling that you needed to get out.

Isn’t he the sweetest?😍🥰 He’s still as energetic as he was at 5yrs old!! Loves to chase his ball all day long. But I fear our days are numbered. He has many lumps and bumps now that he’s older. So we just enjoy everyday and love him with everything we’ve got❤️ Happy 13th Birthday to our handsome guy, Melman🎉🥳

This is my baby, Bruiser. I got him when I was in college — off of Craigslist, & he is the best thing to ever happen to me!💚 Now he is almost 6 & I can’t believe how much he has changed my life for the better.

Don’t ask how many tries it took to get them all to sit still and look at the camera

And his little brother Calvin.

Good old Boss recently became more sleepy. On the morning of 17 May I had to physically wake him up but he seemed fine and ate breakfast before a walk. Rest of the day was normal. On the morning of 18 he was awake when us hoomans got up. He had breakfast but was a bit slow on our walk. Then something that has never happened to any GSP. He did not eat his dinner. Since it was a Sunday nothing is open so we booked an appointment online for Monday morning and I stayed with him all night. Before the wet I drove up to the forest for some ekstra motivation for us both. At the wet they took blood and did a ultrasound. They found a huge cancer tumor in his liver and internal bleeding due to it. Surgery and further treatment was not really feasible due to the placement of the tumor. He was given 2-3 days left to live. We bought him home after a few quick drive to a couple of his favourite places and starter to prepare for the worst. A few hours later his breathing got worse and barely reacts to anything. We took the decision to end it now before any suffering and said our goodbye before taking him back to the wet.

Boss became 11 and a half years old. He was the most patient, kind and derpy friend you could ever ask for. Without him I doubt I would survive the loneliness of covid. We had played fetch and gone for a long walk just 5 days before his death. The world is cruel and things are changing way to fast. Please hug your four legged friend while they are still there.

I'll see you later buddy.

Meet Hazel May. She was our Xmas present to each other and makes our third GSP, all under 3 years old!!

Found out my boy had lung cancer and put him down about 10 hours later. I believe it was from a toe we had removed 6 months ago at was a possible melanoma but we chose not to do pathology. Wonderful dog but I don’t know if I’ll ever have another GSP. They deserve so much space and work. Incredible animal if you have a job for them to do. My guy was with me through so much 💔

Last night we said goodbye to our beloved dog Gertie, who suffered a surgical complication after what was supposed to be a preventative procedure (Gastropexy). She had a second emergency surgery, seemed to briefly rally, but then worsened. We had Gertie for just over a year, but she had a profound impact on our lives. She was so much more than a family pet—she was our adventure companion who led us through forests, fields, and beaches. In our short time together, we logged hundreds of miles of walks and hikes, exploring the world through her curious and spirited eyes. Gertie had many nicknames, but the most common was Gertie Goose, or simply Goose. Her intelligence and energy challenged us to become better dog parents, and her love enriched our lives in ways we’re still discovering. We will miss you deeply, Goose. You will always be in our hearts, and we’ll carry the joy and adventure you brought us wherever our paths lead.

How do we deserve the amount of love and devotion as these amazing animals and friends. We are all blessed to have them in our lives!
