...My first time on here.. i started looking for pet forums becuz today my family and i had to put our beloved baby to sleep. He was a Doberman Pinscher, AMIGO, and he was about 8 yrs old (in human time). I don't live at home anymore, so i wasn't there to see him go. But my mother kept in contact with me and let me know through time how we was doing - from the moment he got sick till now. I left my home in May of this year and it wasn't till that week when i left was when he got sick. I never was able to go back home since then and when i was told that the vet was saying that he was in "bad shape" i couldn't take it. Everyone knows that I was the one that was crazy about him. Just leaving my home was hard enough saying goodbye to him.. now knowing that i would never see him greet me at the gate ever again if i come back home puts needles in my heart. He was like a baby brother or a son.. he was definitely my best friend. I took care of him, i bathed him, i fed him, i changed his water when needed, i played with him, i talked to him, i took naps with him, i laughed with and at him, i fought with him, i studied my schoolwork by him, i ate with him, i gave him his blanket and told him that i loved him every night... i had nothing but LOVE for him.. and as with any dog, he was always loyal to me and his love in return was truly unconditional. Even when i scolded him or lost my patience with him and then walked away from him or restricted him from his treats or ignored him, he was ALWAYS still there for me and always greeting me at the gate when i come home or seeing me off when i go somewhere. He always saw me off when I would leave the house - walking with me to the gate and then just standing or sitting there until the car pull out of the driveway. It was weird becuz that morning i left, he barked like crazy, instead. Spinning around in circles, his hair on his back standing up, and everything. My favorite was when he would ALWAYS be on time reminding me when it was time to have his dinner - 5:00 SHARP. If he hadn't eaten around that time, he would find me wherever i was in the house and look at me through the windows from outside and just stare at me. He had a lot of cute tricks. He was extremely smart and uncanningly responsive whenever someone spoke to him. I can't believe i couldn't tell him myself how much i love him and i'll miss him and i never wanted to leave him. This is too hard... i miss him soooooooooo much...
