Said goodbye to our dog Hobbes...

[Gorn Captain]

Thank you all, especially for understanding that this is a loss, and not saying "are you going to get another dog?" as some people tend to do. As if you were getting a new pair of shoes.
16 years is a long time. Most marriages don't last that long.
I'll miss the total understanding we had. She needed almost nothing to "get" what I wanted her to do. Just the slightest movement of my head, and she knew what it meant. She was also very smart. We could do our daily walk (long ones, sometimes 7-8 miles), and she could pick out what was different in a second. A ornament in a garden twenty yards away, she spotted it immediately and wanted to have a good look. And she gave love like no other dog I've ever seen. She never understood why someone (or dog) was aggressive.

You may some day get another dog, but you never, ever, replace them.

It's very tough to lose a pet, especially after 16 years, be greatful you had her for that amount of time,
We had to put our dog to sleep back in 86, I still have a pic and still miss the little guy even today,
I didn't want another dog because you grow attached to them, and then down the road you have to
go thru another sad chapter, just not worth it, but that's just me.

Aw man, that sucks, so sorry. My little buddy Kato, also passed away at 16...it sucks that they live so little, it really does.
