RIP Brinn AKA I effing hate 2013!!

What's Hot

Well the time every dog lover dreads came today. Our fantastic 12 year old black lab had some strokes over the last day or so and had to be put to sleep by the vet.

He lost the use of his legs and everything really as well as one eye had blown, the vet said the kindest thing we could do was put him to sleep.

Brinn was a loyal and loving companion with a great nature getting on well with cats, kids and almost everyone he met. Plus being our grandson's horse when he was younger.

In 12 years he barked 4 or 5 times and even then it was because of a yappy little thing that annoyed him.

So I wonder what in the name of goodness have we done to deserve the last few months, I must have been a Jeremy Kyle in a previous life.

Screw 2013 and the horse it rode in on, bring on 2014.

Anyway here he is in all his silly glory.






RIP Brinn of the Bloodguard.

    Bah :( Sorry for your loss mate.

    My wife's family have just had to have their dog put down. Probably a good job we live 200 miles away and had just come back from Australia. If I was around I'd have been a jibbering wreck.

    ah mate, so sorry for you. Been a shit year for you. Sounds trite, but I really hope things pick up for you next year, you're too good a person to be down for long.

    I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.

    sorry to hear this fella you must be feeling life has kicked you whilst you're already down.

    12 yrs is a decent run tho and if it had to happen better now than in 2 weeks when you're just starting a new year..

    hope things start looking up for you 2014.

    my sympathies Johnny. I felt like Judas when I had to call the vet in for the dastardly deed on Gibson (the cat I'd lived with for 14 1/2 years since he was a 6 week old kitten), I'm sure you felt similar even though we all know that refusal to take such a decision only prolongs the animal's suffering.

    You've had a shite year, and I do hope the next one is nowhere near as bad. All the best, mate.

    Thanks all and yes it was a kindness (if heartbreaking) because he was suffering the last day or so and we were unaware it was so bad because he never complained or yelped. It is horrible but unfortunately necessary.

    The weird thing up to the point he had his first stroke he was his usual bouncy self who thought he was still a puppy, despite being a stiff arse these days.

    But on one hand he never had days of suffering so we have to be grateful for that, no long drawn out illness or pain.

    12 is not too bad I guess but until this we thought he may go on for a bit yet, shows you can never tell. He was talked to and cuddled right to the end though so he didn't fret.

    I remember Bertie and felt gutted for you then, here's hoping we both get a better 2014 doggie wise. It is never easy losing a much loved pet.

    Sad news Johnny.
    A crap year indeed, but not long to go now. You've shown such positive spirit in recent times so keep that up and here's to 2014.
    Brinn had a good innings.

    Hey Johnny, I'll just echo the kind thoughts so far.
    I'll fully agree, 2013 is one to put behind us, and looking forward to a much better 2014.

    So sorry to hear of your loss - the toughest part of being a pet owner.
    He looked a lovely pup - glad you gave him a safe and happy life, and also didn't let him suffer too long at the end.
    12-13 is quite old for a Lab, so he had a full life too , but still sad that you lost a pal.
    May 2014 be a better year.

    So sorry to read this, I lost my dog two years ago just before Christmas so know exactly how you feel.

    You gave Brinn a wonderful life and should be proud of yourself.
