Meridith Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 Yesterday I had to have my dear sweet dog put down. He was approx. 13 yrs old. I say approx. because I got him 12+ years ago he was full grown and so his age was always an estimation. Dh (Papa Bear) and I made this together. It is scented with "Enchantment" from OT&L. We knew the soap would discolor to an olivey green color but decided to try to swirl in yellow since Lucky Boy was a yellow labbie mix. We wanted brown swirled in but were not sure it would be brown so at the last minute we added charcoal to swirl in black. It is still in the mold in the pictures.

sisterkaren Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm so sorry about your dog. We had to put down our shepherd down 5 years ago and we still think of him so often. The soap is beautiful and a lovely thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ForHisGlory Posted September 6, 2008 Share Posted September 6, 2008 I'm so sorry. Your dog looks just like mine, although he is only 8 months old. I understand after research that this is their life span.Hoping you feel better soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kymber Posted September 7, 2008 Share Posted September 7, 2008 Awwwww sorry about your dog! I have one that is 13 and I am pretty sure she won't make it through this winter (lots of issues)...even tho she is a big house baby. They become so much a part of the family....just like one of your babies. Soap is lovely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted September 8, 2008 Author Share Posted September 8, 2008 Awwwww sorry about your dog! I have one that is 13 and I am pretty sure she won't make it through this winter (lots of issues)...even tho she is a big house baby. They become so much a part of the family....just like one of your babies. Soap is lovely!13 is a tough age for larger dogs. This dog's life span chart in my vet's office shows that a large dog (50-70lbs I think it was) has a life expectancy of 8-10 years. I feel good knowing LB went beyond what was expected. He was a house boy too. I bet you love your doggie as much as we do ours. Even my 2 other dogs are grieving. It's been a family thing.
