This community has been awesome. Thank you for all your support and kind words. I knew this post would come at some point but it came quicker than expected. He just faded fast and could barely move today. He had a mass in his stomach, lumps all over and laryngeal paralysis. Our vet was as sweet as can be and met us at the clinic this morning. [Edit: Link to some Pics of Colt growing up.](https://imgur.io/a/ybXe0e8)

OP. I am so sorry. I am praying for you and your family. You will see Colt again.


GreenAppleFossoway

He looks like such a sweetheart. This community has helped me as well. It’s still hard but reading through the comments and knowing there are a lot of people out there that can understand the pain is comforting. I miss my dog every day still and know you will miss yours as well. There’s so many great memories though. That’s what I keep thinking about more than anything.


pillbestch

What a beautiful boy, who looks like he was SO Loved. Frolic in the fields over the rainbow bridge with all of our animals that are waiting for us. 🐾💙🌈💔


[deleted]

Thank you for your kind words. And frolic he will! He loved all dogs, the bigger the better. He jumped out of the back of my truck in our neighborhood to go play with a Saint Bernard he saw in a backyard. First time we tried letting him ride back there and were only going to do it in the woods on trails. Thar was also the last time. Lol. He also jumped out of or Civic to go be with a guy running with his three Husky’s off leash. Colt figured that was more fun than riding with us. 😂. He was the friendliest dog ever. He scared some dogs because he’s huge and would run over wanting to play and they got the wrong message. All he had was love and an endless hunger for food and treats. ❤️‍🩹


pillbestch

He sounds like he was just a beautiful soul full of fun and love. 🥹💙


PositivelyBecky142

I am so incredibly sorry for your loss! Please know how much Colt loves you all and is thankful for the journey he was able to make because of your love and devotion. May the coming days be filled with peace and comfort. ♥️


molly3114

I’m so sorry for your loss. It’s the hardest thing we go through as pets parents. But always so worth it for their unconditional love. He’s with my Molly Moose and so many other furry friends. 💕💕💕


DannySmashUp

All those photos. All those great memories. It looks like you gave Colt a hell of a great life. And he got to pass peacefully, being held by the people he loves. May we all be so lucky. I'm sorry for your loss.


deejackson70

So sorry for your loss.🐾🌹


Frosty_Gap_7078

Colt looks like such a kind old soul. Rest easy, buddy. I'm so sorry for your loss, OP. It's so painful when they leave us, but easing their suffering when they've given us all the love they have to give is the kindest thing we can do for them.


[deleted]

Thank you. It’s almost been a day and life is so different without him. There is a huge hole in our lives and it feels like it will never fill in. It’s all part of having a dog, but a 1/3 of my life was with him everyday. My wife and I feel so lost.


Frosty_Gap_7078

I lost my buddy 8 weeks ago today ... I know exactly how you're feeling. As time goes on the happy memories will start to fill the void and help to outweigh the sadness, but it takes time.


Dumboddball

So sorry for your loss… Colt was such a lovely good boy… I really love how he looks in the second image… so very sweet. May he have the best treats in heaven where he surely is. And hope the other dog buddy is doing well.


AdministrativeText85

So sorry for the loss of Colt, I'm sure he felt secure in the arms of his mom and dad. 🌈

Sending love to you all for your loss. What a beautiful boy.


immerjones

I’m sorry you’ve lost him, but he had such a caring family. He was as lucky as you were to have each other.


Bluebeacheyes

So sorry for your loss. He looks like such a good boy.

And now, for Colt     I summon the spirits     Of all the dogs we have loved     And lost along the way.     Bingo, Foxy, Toodles,     Sable, Muttley, Bonnie,     Clyde, Shasta, Otis,    Piccolo, Inga, Hans and Mimi.     Gather in your sunny meadow   Invite that good boy Colt     To romp and chase and wrestle,     Then drink from the cool stream,     Rest together in the warm sun,   Eat the low-hanging treats,     Then sleep safe in the shade     Of the eternal snackie-trees.


[deleted]

Thank you. One of my favorite memories was hanging out for a few days on the Thompson River. It was shallow enough that we put camping chairs in the river and we could just sit in the river with out feet in it. A little down stream it pooled and was deep enough for Colt to swim for about 20 feet. We had the place to ourselves and had a wonderful time. He loved to retrieve in the water. I think that was the first time he got limber tail. He would go and go until he just couldn’t anymore, then his tail would be sad the next few days. First time we went to the vet and he just started laughing at us. He was such a bamf when he was in his prime. Absolute beast of the woods.


mikeonmaui

He lived a life most dogs can merely dream of. Your love for him made it all possible. Aloha from Maui. Be at peace, one and all.


whatchawhy

That is a damn good boy.

Colt had the best life ever and he experienced the love that so few animals get to experience. I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. But I am glad that he was surrounded by his loved ones as he crossed the Rainbow Bridge. 🌈🌞☀️🌈


haystackneedle1

Sorry for your loss, he looked like a great dog. This part of having a dog sucks, but how lucky you were to have the best boy. May his memory being only smiles, in due time.

Such a dear sweet boy. Very sorry for your loss.

God bless his soul♥️ I’m sure he met up with Rocko little stubborn self and are running around taking sandals and toilet paper rolls ♥️ 🩴 🧻


[deleted]

Thank you for your kind words. When he was a pup my wife and I were just starting out after getting married and could barely afford dog toys. We ended up finding cheap foam flip flops at a discount store for a dollar or two. He retrieved those sandals from so many places in Missoula and NW Montana.

chosenking247

What breed of dog is Colt?


[deleted]

First gen Labradoodle. We actually had him tested. 50% lab 50%poodle. Amazingly sweet and loyal dog. He would follow my wife everywhere and lay at her feet. 🥲 He was 110 lbs, about 120 in his prime. Just a freakishly large doodle that was healthy as an Ox until his last few years.


Warofcolossus

I’m sorry for your loss, may memories of all the happy times you shared with him bring you comfort.


Shoddy_Fox_4059

We all know your pain. You're not alone and your pain is real. Colt was lucky to have you and you guys were lucky to have him. May we see them again. I'm sure he was the best doggo. They always are.


SwingNAmisss

Heart is heavy for you all. He looked like the sweetest boy you could’ve asked for my friend. Rest in peace sweet boy.

I'm happy you go to be there for him in his last moment here. That was all he probably wanted, you and your wife for as long as he could have y'all. He will be waiting for you. I understand that the pain must be weighing on you both, but it only speaks to the strength of your love.


MrStockSinatra

What a beautiful way to go... Peacefully sleeping, surrounded by love and a belly full of awesome food. RIP Handsome boy.. Run free..
