• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Goodbye old friend

Bill, sorry to hear about your loss.

Hold on to the memories of the good times you had with him - and I am sure there were many - and he will always be with you.

Yeah...losing four-legged-furry-kids really sucks! I don't even want to think about my Ruby leaving me (5 year old CRAZY! Golden Retriever).

I have lost several beloved canine-friends over the years and I always think of this when I feel bad:

"If you want to know who loves you more, your wife or your dog, try locking them both in the trunk of your car for an hour. When you open the trunk, see who's more happy to see you!".
 
Very sorry for your lost, I wish could say more to ease your pain.
As a dog owner all my life, It's hard to see your Buddy's past.
It's amaseing in the short time they are with us how much Love and Joy they give.
 
We Do Care

Some ppl see pets as just that, an animal that humans have domesticated to provide a service in one way or another to us.

But then, there are others that truly understand the far reaching implications that our pets provide, unconditional love and true friendship.

Losing your pet is a major life event, and I'm truly sorry for your loss.

As i write this, Teddy's new kitten, SkydMarq (Skydie) is sleeping on my shoulder.

Many fellow SpyderLovers got to meet Teddy this weekend on the Hocking Hills SpyderRyde. He is truly my best friend, and whenever I feel down or sad, just one look at him puts a smile back on my face. I guess I may be a lil over the top, seeing as I got my dog his own pet to keep him company. Its starting to get colder out, and I wont be able to take Teddy out on the Spyder with me as much as I do now, and hate leaving him home alone.

Theres allot of love for our pets, and likewise, much loss when one is gone. Remember all the good times & be grateful to have had him in your lyfe, cause you know as well as I that he made your lyfe a little bit better. My sympathy & prayers are with you & know that you are not alone.

Danes are one great dog in my opinion and I'm sorry that you lost yours so suddenly.

Every shepherd I've had has been a family member and our cats much the same as I'm sure your Dane was to you and yours.

So sorry. :(
 
So sorry about the loss of your loyal companion. Man, my heart really goes out to you and your family. I don't even want to think about what will happen when something happens to our little buddy. They sure have a way of getting right into your heart and touching a spot that nothing else can.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Cat :doorag:
 
So sorry to hear of your loss. Been two years since I lost my Newf and I've yet to be able to replace him.

Take care and remember the great life, home and friendship you gave him!
 
:( Sorry foryour loss. We have lost sereral good friends over the years young and old and it's never easy. They do become part of the family.
 
I can't tell you how bad I feel for you, losing a dog or any pet that you have loved so much is a terrible thing to go through....it has happened too many times to me. I am glad to see that there are so many Spyder people that are animal lovers and are sending their understanding and support to you. We hear too many times of the cruelty and visciousness(?sp) of the human race on the animal world, it is great to see there are still many animal lovers around.
 
So sorry for you loss Bill. I understand how our pets are more than just a pet and part of a family. Your dog was beautiful. Losing a family member and friend is never easy, even when they are furry.
 
Sorry for the loss of you best friend.

Lost two of my friends, (human) and had to put my 16+ yr. old cat to sleep in the past two weeks. I Try to think of the good times we had together. Never really get over it, just gets so it is a little more tolerable.
 
Sorry for your loss. Our fur buddies become family members and we become very attached to them. When you have a dog, you have a true friend for life. I still grieve the loss of Foxy, my husky dog and friend for 11 years. I still have her picture, ashes, collar, favorite chew bone, and leash sitting on top of my desk in a prominent place.
 
Thanks so much to all my SpyderLover family. Titan was the kind of friend you just wanted to be with 24hrs a day. If I had a bad day at work, he was always there to help. He was a very empathetic dog - when I had my surgery in Feb. and was home recooperating he stay right by my side - if I got up to walk - he was right there next to me. He would walk beside me and wanted me to use him as a moving crutch. He lavished all he knew him with love and affection. I miss his so much. I still have 2 other dogs that have been a big comfort; but no one will ever take Titan's place.
 
We feel your pain...

So sorry to hear that has happened to you. When you get a really good one they so quickly become our close bud’s. Just know as has been said, you are not alone with your feelings. All of us who love our dogs feel your pain. I hope each day becomes easier for you. It did in time for my wife and I. We had to put our Lab mix of many good years down and It was one of the hardest things I have ever done. Again, you are not alone.
