Sorry about the loss. Amazing how a dog can become such a part of the family

So Sorry to hear. We lost three last year, my wife's two Shelties Misty and Gus 14 &16 and my black lab Star who was 12or 13. Tough tough year, but we are very thankful to have been blessed for so long with such great companions. Your right cowboy, they are part of the family!
Wishing your day filled with happy memories to hold close to your heart.

Sorry to hear that, I know it tears you up. I still miss my truck riding buddy, and Sailor has been gone around 3 years.

Sorry to hear you lost Travis. I'm sure that the memories you have of him will lighten your days for years to come.

Also sorry to hear of your loss.
Most folks don't realize that to most of us who have dogs, they are much more than just a dog!
Way...too smart. Companion is a much better word than "pet".

I agree with Jeff, and I am sorry about your loss it is always a sad thing.

Can appreciate your loss... Some of the "best people" I've know in my life were my dogs.

Thorn1968, Travis would miss you the same as you miss him. My dad passed away in october and i adopted his shepard, Everytime i go to my dads house with the shepard he runs around everywhere and looks for my dad. After 30 minutes of looking and not being able to find him he sits at the door and starts howling. Dogs think the same of there best friend as there best friend think of them.

Very sorry for your loss,your dog is one of your closest friends for sure.

Rotties have such a deep devotion, drive and spirit. They are amazing pals. Boxers are about as close as I've seen to a Rottweiler, but Rotties are special because of their extensive capabilities.
They also take a special kind of owner, who is balanced, strong, determined and patient.
Sorry to read of your loss.
Hope you get another buddy real soon. Not as a replacement for Travis, but as a new friend.
Nothing can "replace" Travis.
A day without a dog, is like a day without sunshine. They really brighten our world.

BTW: there was a huge Rottweiler rescue down in Texas about a month ago (something to do with a puppy mill that was shut down IIRC). If you don't want to do the "puppy thing", and are interested in adopting, send me a PM. I may be able to get some details for you.

Sorry to hear this man. Always sucks to lose a good buddy. Regardless of species.
