After being in the Hospital & rehab for 24 days mostly flat on my back.
And dealing with not being able to take care of things at the house or do much for my self.
The wife called me with bad news about one of my dogs, We are going to have to put her down, I bummed about it, but it’s the best for the poor dog!
Don’t know how I going to deal with it not being there!

Hang tough buddy and our thoughts are with you,
You have some good luck coming your way, Maico!

Sorry to hear about your dog, putting down a pet is one of the hardest things I've had to do.
But there is a time when it's the best thing to do.
When you're ready get another dog to bring back your smiles and laughter--that's what your dog would want, not to be sad.
Now down to just one dog, i always have two dogs at a time, so they can keep each other company while I was at work.
It will be a while before any more dogs, my other rescue dog is now 14, I don’t think the wife will let me get another one utill I get back on my feet & go back to work.
Have a 2 year old Lab that is my world, smart, well trained (retriever work) and he looks out for me like no other. He was a huge help when I was stuck to the couch for a few weeks this spring, I just point at something, tell him to pick it up and he brings it right over... We have a long way to go, but when he's gone it will absolutely destroy me.
I'm that guy that can't watch a sad video about a dog's connection with their people, especially when they are a hunting pair as that is a super tight bond when you work together like we do... Got caught crying at work one day watching a stupid video on Facebook.
You'll have the right time in life to get a new companion, in some ways they won't be the same standard, but they all have their time to shine... I always suggest a rescue, I think they can appreciate it more!
Instead of getting another look into becoming a foster for a local rescue group. When we foster its for 2-4 weeks till they are transported to another state. NJ & NY get most of our rescue transports.
We have had 20+ go through our home and Cooper was a foster fail when we adopted him after taking him to a big adoption fair.
My wife is now the president of our 501c rescue group and we have been able to turn the animal control into a no kill
These are some we have had in the last year....and even a tiny kitten

Most of my dogs over the years has been a rescue dog.
My cousin in Calif runs a Golden retriever rescue, at times she has 10 dogs in the house!
Niki was rescue from here in Houston, she was abused and tied up in the back yard.
When I got her she was afraid of her own shadow, I worked to get her past that.
She was still very stand-off with new people & would go hide in the back room.
She also suffered from septeration angsity, I would often find one of my shoes in the living room.
But she never destroyed the shoes!
I’m going to probley loose it when I get sent home from the rehab hospital & not have her there.
