We just got back from the vet and put our dog to sleep. He was a Brittany Spaniel and his name was Doogie Bowser D.O.G. (after the tv show Doogie Howser) - we called him Doogie. He was my husband's and my only kid for 8 years before my son came around.

My husband and I loved him so much. We went to a local Brittany club and took up dog showing ... we made him a champion in just 12 months ... unheard of for newbies like us. We travled all over the midwest and really had fun and bonded with him.

He loved (or at least tolerated) dressing up for Halloween and "Take your dog to the Ballpark" at Chicago White Sox Park. One year he made it on the local CBS news and on ESPN!!

Best of all he was our friend ... and we will miss him.

I posted some of my favorite pictures of him on my blog (click below) ... now I have got to make that Dog Scrapbook from the MOA class!

Chelsea,
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your beloved pet. We all get so attached to our furry friends. They are definitely members of our families.
I hope you are able to make that scrapbook....it will help you to accept your loss. "Something" you can do about it, you know?
HUGS (from afar)
XOXOXO
Joanie

Chelsea, I'm so sorry to hear about Doogie. It must be terribly painful when our pets must be put to sleep. I've not experienced that as yet and hope it's a long time coming. But, having a pet for only a couple of years now, I can fully empathize with what you must be suffering. God Bless.

So sorry about your Doogie. He was a very pretty brittany spaniel. My dad has always had brittney's but they don't look near as pretty as Doogie.

Chelsea, we've been where you are -- and I know how difficult it is. Wait a while, then consider another pet. It sounds heartless, but it really helps.
