Sniff! I had to put my dog down on Friday. No place would give me some of her ashes though. I wanted to put them in a doggie urn and some in a small vial around my neck as a pendant. [Reply]

We lost our Aussie, Molly, a couple of years ago after almost 16 years. I wasn't sure about getting another dog but my wife was really missing Molly, so last summer we got another Aussie pup. Molly had been a tri-color (white, tan, and black). We didn't want a dog that looked like her so this time we got a red and white Aussie. The breeder had named her Red Sky and we just stuck with Sky. I mostly call her Dog or Damn Dog.
Bummer of a day but it was for the best. Had to put my pooch down. She was 15 and just started to shut down. Problems getting up and walking, falling down and then she quit eating. I think she was telling us it was time.
