Hey guys sadly it has become time to say goodbye to my first kid !
He was 14 1/2 years old he was a pure blooded red nose pit bull! (There's a long name for his exact breed but pit bull is fine by me!)
His name is charger ,he was named after my first car my 74 charger in brown . I got him when he was only 6 weeks old .
His mother gave birth to 14 puppies and passed away right after . All looked like there father but 3 little brown ones they looked like mom . The Father was a huge aggressive guard dog very mean (was shot a few months later when he couldn't be controlled!)
Mom was the sweetest dog ever so everyone wanted the big dogs and not the little ones that looked like mom ! Charger himself was the runt of the litter too. So all dogs but the 3 got homes first day !
The guy didn't want these ones didn't care I was there for a car deal and heard the pups my wife (girlfriend at time) wanted to see them he threw them out of garage for her kicked them around gave them adult dog chow they were covered in pee and poop we noticed one with a rib hanging out when he ate we made a deal on car and got that pup added in for free (this was charger)
Went back later without wife and took the other two puppies from this dick head !

So fast forward threw the years he's been with me since he loved riding in the chargers and he was a mother hen to every pup or kitten we took in threw the years .so recently he started showing his age and declined very quickly he was in pain and had a hard time at walking . I knew it was time and set it for just after the holidays. He will be missed by all that have met him .

The last picture was last night he wouldn't leave the baby's side that night
 
I’m an so sorry to hear! It’s really tough. I know. Many of us here have been there! My thoughts are with you!
 
Wow so sorry it breaks my heart. Been down that road and it sucks,they are family.RIP Charger
 
Been 15 years since my last one, won’t go thru that heart ache again. So sorry for your loss.
 
I'm saddened for you and your family. It's always tough to let them go. We have also lost so many. Peace be upon you.
 
I'm very sorry to hear of your loss. Yes, they're every bit a family member and
the pain of loss is the same as far as I'm concerned.
I've lived long enough out here on the ridge now that there are several of ours
buried out here on our property.
All dogs DO go to heaven, by default.
 
I'm so sorry for you and your family, my heart bleeds for you!! My dog is 17 and blind and I get sick thinking her time is coming. I'm praying for all of you!!
 
So sorry for you and your family.
There's always that one that gets to you, and takes a piece of your soul with them.
Rejoice in the knowledge that he is free from pain and in paradise waiting for you.

So Sorry.. Dogs are family.... And dogs are friends... You picked them and make them family... Sounds like Charger was a great dog & lucky to have you & your family as his family....
 
So sorry for your loss, just know that you've got a great support group here and that we've ALL been in your shoes (probably more that once) . . . my heart goes out to you and your family . . . hang in there my friend, and your memories mean that they never "go away" . . . they're ALWAYS in your heart !
 
Tough deal. Sorry for your loss but thanks for posting such a touching story. So many of us have had that one special dog over the years.
 
Critters are family, as much or more so than people. It is heartening that you had such a great companion for a long time. Sorry to hear of your loss. Saying goodbye to fuzzy family members is hard.
 
So sorry. At my age, I've been through lots of pets. It's still hard to lose one. I tell my children if you get a dog or cat you're going to outlive it. Give it as much love as you can when you can.

Growing up working on a ranch desensitizes you a little. The dogs and cats come and go.
 
Thanks guys for the kind words!
My wife's not taking it so well but it will pass .
I'm ordering some cherry wood to build him a nice box she wanted him to stay with us so he was baked on high for a few hours ! He came back in a box but it's crappy so I'm going to make him a nice one !
