R.I.P. Beagle Bailey

Beagleone · 10-23-2012, 11:54 AM

Today, after battling cancer for most of this year, we had to put my beagle down. He was 12 y.o. and the namesake of my moniker. He enjoyed life to the fullest, and especially loved going to the cigar shops with me. It is a very sad day in my household as we lost not a pet, but a member of our family. He will be sorely missed, especially by me.

I am so sorry. Dogs truly are our best friends.

10-23-2012, 12:04 PM

So sorry to hear this brother. I also have a beagle. I know how much pets can mean to a person.

pnoon · 10-23-2012, 12:08 PM

Sorry for your loss, Tony.

markem · 10-23-2012, 12:14 PM

I am so glad to have had the chance to meet him, Tony. Our condolences on your loss.

Adriftpanda · 10-23-2012, 12:17 PM

Sorry to hear about your loss, Tony.

Mr B · 10-23-2012, 12:18 PM

So sorry for your loss. We had to put down our 13 1/2 year old Lab back in March. Hardest thing I have ever had to do.
My prayers are with your family.

68TriShield · 10-23-2012, 12:24 PM

Being a multi Beagle family with a senior,we send our condolences Tony.
I hope you are planning to give another wonderful Beagle a home.

So sorry for your loss. We had to put our beloved Jack Russell down earlier this year, what an amazingly brutal time. I truly feel for you.

jledou · 10-23-2012, 12:39 PM

Sorry to hear. We also have a beagle, affectionately referred to as "the hound".

cjhalbrooks · 10-23-2012, 12:41 PM

Really sucks to hear, Tony. Sorry for your loss.

kelmac07 · 10-23-2012, 01:56 PM

My condolences to you and your family Tony. It's always tough to lose a member of the family. Take solace in knowing that he is in a better place and cancer free now.

jjirons69 · 10-23-2012, 02:16 PM

We, too, have a wonderful and smart beagle, 3 years old. Just like you folks, he's a big part of our lives and losing him one day is going to be very hard. Sending a prayer out for your family as you folks grieve. As a devotional I read the other day said, "I won't ask You to lessen the weight of the world, Lord, but make my back stronger."

Dave128 · 10-23-2012, 02:39 PM

Sorry for your loss, Tony.

Beagleone · 10-23-2012, 05:27 PM

Thanks to everyone for the thoughts and prayers. I've spent the rest of the day reflecting on our time together. He may be gone, but Bailey won't be forgotten.

@Dave, yes, some day I will get another beagle, just not right away. I need some time to heal. I do follow the BRSM on FB and love seeing their photos. I am considering a rescue in the future because of them.

hotreds · 10-23-2012, 05:43 PM

Tough! Hardest thing I had to do was put our "Lady" down. I do feel your pain, brother! It gets better with time, but I still tear up when I think of her and she died a decade ago.

Good to hear Tony. Finding a good dog to adopt you in future will be easy

You gave your boy a wonderful life
