my hardest day in my life was today.

nordy racer · May 25, 2013

Today i lost my best Friend, buddy, and the best K9. Lightning was amazing Lab, from day one when i saw him in the pound i knew we would have amazing life together. His name was Shaq at the pound but once i saw him running around chasing tennis balls he was quick Lightning, so that name stuck. He was amazing listener and loved other dogs and people. he not once bit or bark at other dogs but just sat and watched. He was also a amazing stepbrother to Minnee. when she came home the first day from the rescue he took her under hs wing and showed her the ropes. Lightning as touched so many people from one side of the US to the other side. Have fun in Heaven playing ball and getting all the treats you can eat. I will forever love you my boy Lightning, i will see you soon in the frield of green grass.

Man that sucks. Labs are great dogs and I hope to have two in the future. I had a black Lab that I grew up with and lost her a few years back, that was a rough time.

Looks like you gave him a nice life. You did a great thing by getting him from a pound and having a buddy for him to play with (your female lab). I've told myself if I decide to get another dog I will get two and not just one. That way they would always have each other to keep themselves happy.

ugh, god...I hate these threads. Hang in there man, I know it's tough.

LIGHTNING LARRY · May 25, 2013

I'm very sorry.

I know your pain. Had to put down my 13 Yr old German Shepherd about 6-7 Months ago. I cried like a baby.

I now have a yellow Lab names Daisy. She's wonderful.

I know it'd hard, but get another dog soon.:rockon:

I truly believe they make our lives easier and happier.

So sorry to hear that

shadowstang03gt · May 25, 2013

that really sucks man. i have a yellow lab too. i had to put a black lab down a few years ago. it is horrible. dogs are never around long enough. Hope you can save another in the future.

Chersch74 · May 25, 2013

I have a yellow lab and a reverse brindle boxer. I named my boxer "thunder" and I wanted to name my lab "lightning" as I thought it was fitting for the same reasons as yourself. I dred the day of loosing one of my pups.

Sorry for your loss sir.

thank you everyone..

sorry for your loss man. one of the hardest times i went through was when I learned that we were going to have to put our Jack Russell down. It will be tough for a while, but it just shows you the impact that a best friend like that can make. Lightning is in a better place now and you will get to see him again.

Sorry for your loss brother. I felt your pain with my 14yr old chocolate Lab. Kinda like a kid,
