Had to dig a hole for a dear friend yesterday. Out for a walk with the dogs and one broke her neck whilst chasing rabbits. Eight years of fun and
cuddles consigned to the memory bank. 
By a strange quirk of fate, the breeder called us out of the blue. He kept one of her brother's from the litter and they've been re-united a
couple of times during the course of their lives. Bit of a coincidence getting a call from him given what had just happened don't you think.
Coincidence!?
Born on the same day.... more than 3000 days on the planet... and it turns out her brother died yesterday too!
Dogs are great friends Scott, Ive lost 2 good friends in my lifetime and wont have another.
Sad day mate ....
Wow, I didn't realise stuff like that could happen to dogs, they seem so solid!
I hope it happened quickly.
Sorry for your loss
They start off as pets but become members of the family very quickly
She had a grand life, so there are reasons to be cheerful...
that's very sad mate don't know what to say
Scoots, we both just did an aaaaargh, our Abbie dog left us after 14yrs , never the same and not having another, happy dog sitters though,. Great memories . Sorry buddy
Scootz, sincere condolences mate.
IMHO, dogs make better company than most humans.
Feeling for you.
I will be equally gutted when
<----- this one departs one day.

Sad times but in time you will be good memories.
I've lost 2 special friends but have 2 more lying on my feet as i type. You can't replace them because they're all different but i
wouldn't be without them!

Sorry to hear the news Scott But a good life while they are here is the main thing.
We lost our old neighbour (86) last year and she had a Border Terrier who was 16, deaf and almost blind. He would never have lasted without her around
as he used to pine if she was away for a night. We always used to look after him while she was away and the family (who lived away) asked if we could
arrange to have him put to sleep. That has got to be the worst thing I've ever done! I've had to deal with it for our dogs over the years
but for some reason that one made me feel a right B*****d
And we still go and get another, must be mad.
Ditto - they ask so little and deliver so much!
Quote of the year ^^^^^
i have had the pleasure of two of mans best friends and i still miss them all these years later.
one day when i dont have to get up for work again,i will have another.

Thanks for the nice comments guys.
I just find it really bizarre (and strangely comforting) that her brother should die on the same day.
