@Freya I couldn't find the dog/cat thread so I'm posting this here.

Thank you my little Jack Russell for 14 wonderful years of loyalty, playfulness, obnoxiousness, and for making the death of my father 14 years ago bearable. It broke my heart to have to take you to the vet this morning to have you put down, but watching you suffer uncontrollably in back pain, is not something I could continue to put you through.  I'm sorry I couldn't hold you as they put you to sleep, but I just couldn't bear to watch.  Please forgive me..... 

Thank you God for my dear friend.

I know the dog can't hear me....but I feel better....lol.  ^-^

Oh my.....It is always hard to lose one of our furry kids...my thoughts are with you since I know how hard this is.

@mrpotatohead  My deepest sympathies. JRs are just the most adorable pups. A friend of mine recently had to put down her 14 y/o Jack Russell, as well, as I know what a hole in her heart that has left.

A bit of passive resistance...

I had a cat that would do this when we tried to take her for walks while we were on camping trips.  She wouldn't stand up unless we were headed back to the campsite.

My co-worker just had to say goodbye to his longtime friend, a Puggle (Beagle & Pug mix).  He put up a couple dozen photos of him today on the network as a tribute.  Here's one...



And for added cuteness factor, as wee lad back in 2004...



I got to know him when I would visit my co-worker's home.  He was a great dog, and though he's missed, I'm glad for all the joy he brought my friend and his wife.

@mrpotatohead

So sorry for your loss.  I know from personal experience how hard it is to have to end your pet's suffering.  But I believe our critters know we are doing what's best for them and I like to think they are in a happy place, waiting for the day when we join them. 

God bless and comfort you.

@mrpotatohead

So terribly sorry for your loss. My little Cairn terrier Bobbi went to heaven two months ago after a rapid decline due to cancer. This was only ten months after Rocky left me. I understand your pain fully. Remember the joy and love of 14 years. I adopted a little rescue terrier (I LOVE terriers) to keep my Border terrier, Hank, company.  Take care.

Well....I've started the process of looking online for dogs that don't shed.  My Jack Russell in her later years was shedding something unbelievable. 

I'm looking for a dog with these qualities.

1. Doesn't shed....or not much.
2. Is a healthy breed.
3.  Small enough to pick up if needed...20 lbs give or take.
4. Would be good to walk with at the park for exercise.
5.  That would be ok left alone during the day....and wouldn't destroy my house.  My Jack Russell tore the curtains down and blinds when I was out of town once.

Any recommendations?

I saw a Havanese in the airport a few years back that a man was bringing home for his son.  Didn't shed and was a beautiful dog.  Don't know how it would be for walking though.

Thank you all for your kindness.

I don't know much about dogs, I've always wanted one but apartments never allowed so I had cats. And fish, which aren't great pets. They made the kitties happy though

Anyway, my gut instinct is telling me to speak to your veterinarian. They know breeds and would be able to help you or offer advice.

 @mrpotatohead
Other than that, how are you doing?

@mrpotatohead Cocker Spaniel. My wife and I have rescued three so far and they are the most amazing dogs. The only downside is that they do grumble, and "backtalk" from time to time, and the one we have now "yells" at me if I don't get my shoes on fast enough to suit him when it is time for a walk.
