Today we are headed to the cemetery to put flowers on the graves of my husband's mother and grandmother. While we are there I will of course be remembering my relatives back in California who are laid to rest. My father who was a WWII veteran. My grandparents on both sides, which includes my beloved paternal grandmother with whom I was especially close.
With the passing of our beloved family pet yesterday, I hope it is not too weird that for our family, today rings loud and clear with his memory. Seventeen years is a long life for a dog and he had a great life. We were very fortunate that he spent it with us. I hope his Great Gig in the Sky includes a beach with sand crabs to chase. That was a favorite sport of his and it had been a few years since he had been able to enjoy it.
Edit Note: My sister posted this about Old Man. All my digitized pics he is old, but she has him still at his favorite beach.

17 years is a long time to love someone (even a dog) and then lose them. You are in my thoughts and prayers!
Ah, poor Old Man. I know how much he meant to you, and I imagine BC's little doggie heart is just broken too.
I love Floyd and that song is very fitting. You are so uber cool, Pseudo.
Oh, you lost him. I'm so sorry.

17 years is a fine life for a dog. No doubt you gave each other the best of what you had. I'm sorry for your pain.
Nothing anyone says is going to make it better so just grab the kleenix box and let it all out. You'll continue to miss the Old Man but as time passes, it'll get a bit better to bear.
May he always have sunny days and a bone to chew in the shade.
Oh how sad! My heart breaks for you! Huge hugs!
17 years- that's wonderful! Thinking of you Pseudo!
I feel for you and know how a pet can be recreated around a beloved pet I miss those who have went on to a better place in life as well
It's an awful time when you lose a pet. Mind you since our oldest dog died, the younger Bonnie, now 10 has been spoiled rotten. She never used to sleep on the lounge for instance.
My thoughts are with you.
17 years of a rich full life for your dog is something to treasure. I hope the wonderful memories you created brings you some comfort as you grieve. I'm sorry for your loss.
[hug]
