I am so very sorry for your loss! What a great dog, and your story of how he came to join your “pack” is heartwarming. Truly. I loved it. Hence the “love” emoji - brought tears to my eyes. May Cruiser rest in peace.
Guess its my turn, lost a dog buddy

Sad to hear about you losing your friend, OP. My wife and I have always had rescue cats we adopt from shelters. Losing our first 3 at around 17-18 years of age 4 years ago was really tough. But we adopted 3 more right after and have been really happy with them. We always tell the shelter we'll take whoever they've had the longest, sight unseen. All this is to tell you to adopt another dog, OP. SO many need homes, and I'm sure there's someone perfect waiting for you. 
So sorry to hear, cherish the moments and the photos but for some reason when it comes to a much loved pet I don’t think that makes the pain of missing them any easier.
Sometime this year we will have to make that decision for our 14 year old dog. Failing heart valves, Dr says at some point this year his heart medication will no longer be effective. Not sure if he will see his 15th birthday in the summer. Mentally we try to prepare but can’t imagine him no longer being in our home.
One thing for sure, like you did. we will be by his side when the time comes. He became part of our family not much later than yours at the end of Sept 2010

I know what you're going through. We lost ours just a couple of months ago. It seems like it was yesterday. Time will heal. Live with knowing that you gave him the best life possible.

I miss <<<<<Roscoe tremendously still, 14 months after he passed. So sad for the loss of your Cruiser.
Yes, you will see him again....and again..... and again someday, along with all the other pets you shared a home with in love.

Sounds like Cruiser had a great life. Congratulations on giving him that life. It is sad they leave us so fast.
