The day after Christmas our little schnauzer woke us up and he couldn’t get confortable. He would try to lay down in very obscure places for a few seconds at a time. We took him in to discover his kidneys were shutting down and had an enlarged heart. Next day we had to make the tough decision.

Can I just say that it totally sucks. 30 years ago was the last time I had to deal with this and was at a very different position in terms of empathy. This go around has been hard mainly because of all the memories as a family we have made. I still look for him to come around the corner, lay at my feet, bark at the doorbell. Girls are having a super hard time of it as well. We miss this little guy.

I am so sorry to hear that. To me, our pets are members of the family and the loss is incredible.

Google and read Rainbow Bridge if you havent already.

Again, I'm sorry for your loss
 
Sorry to hear, I know how you are feeling. We lost our Pug 2 years ago, I still miss him.
 
So sorry to hear about this. They are truly members of the family. They give us much more than we give them.
 
I know what you're going through, it's rough for a while. My Schnauzer past away 6 years ago. I don't think of him everyday anymore, but still something triggers it often enough. My best wishes to you.

I said I'd never have another dog but lately I been thinking about it.

I see your Schnauzer liked Rum. The hard stuff was off limits for my Giant, he was already a big enough clown, but he did enjoy a Bud Light occasionally when sitting around the campfire.:D
 
I’m so sorry for your loss.
 
Sorry for the loss of your family member. We've been there also, it really sucks.
 
It looks like your little buddy lived a great life and he left your family with many wonderful memories. I am so sorry for your loss.
 
From your pictures it looks like your little buddy was an awesome boat dog. As many have already stated been there myself. We have no children so for my wife our pets have been our children. The loss is hard for sure. My heart goes out to you.
 
So very sorry. They give so much. Our family has had a very rough few years and our golden doodle has been the one steady smile in our lives. It makes my heart break to even think about when he won't be with us.
 
So sorry for your loss, we have had a few cats and a dog, seamed easier with the cats the dog ran away 7 years ago and I’m still waiting for him.
Hope you and your family find peace.
 
Losing a pet is tough. Sorry for your loss.
 
I’m so sorry to hear of your loss. It looks like he really loved being on the water, and what great memories you must now have from over the years. There is nothing that compares to sharing it with them, especially when they love it as much as yours obviously did.
 
We had to let go of our boat mate Max this fall. He was with us for 17 years. The love they have to give is never ending. I think that is why they always have a place in our hearts.

It is so hard to say good bye to them. They are all special but there is 1 that stays with you the rest of your life. I lost that 1 special one 4 years ago and think about him every day. Doesn't mean I don't love my current two but god he was special. I hope your grief eases quickly.
