It's absolutely devastating losing a dog. Getting another has always helped us. But, I must say that this statement made me LOL.

It's good to see that you realize you'd be "married" not only to her but the family.

Best of luck to you.

I know your pain, I got out of the hospital in October and a few days later had to put my lab/Weimar mix down suddenly bc of cancer mass. He was only 8. I miss that dog every single day

I’m 38, she’s 32. We discussed possibly marrying a couple weeks ago and doesn’t want a big wedding which A ok with me. I’m just realizing it’s it’s Wednesday night.

I was going to go fish my pit on my property most of the day but I may fish to 10 then come home and propane



I wish I were wittier and could make the best propane joke there is.

Propane that woman and never look back, friend.

Those are great dogs, even though they always seem to eat a coffee table or two as puppies. Give yourself a little time and go get a puppy

I got a golden when I was 24 and had to put her down because of bone cancer when I was 32. That was almost 30 years ago and I still see her fetching ducks in my dreams. They are family.

That’s a lot of stuff, I just pray for you for joy and peace. It’s not as far as it seems.

I would have liked to see the look on her face when you mentioned that you were gonna fish all day but then decided a lifetime of happiness with her was more important, so you only fished 4 hours.

15 years ago I used to think people who let an animal dying crush their world were ridiculous but Redd and the little one changed my way of thinking that way. Without those dogs I don’t know how I would’ve got through losing my wife and my dad a year later. I actually had cancer on 2 different occasions. The last was nearly 15 years ago when the lab was a puppy and that dog comforted me.



Dogs are special creatures for sure. I don't look down on anyone who sobs like a baby when their dog dies. Especially when you've had all the bonding time in the blind like we do with our hunting dogs.

We’re getting to the point where we need to have a serious discussion about marriage. She wants to marry me and if I am to every remarry it’d be her. She wants to be a mother and would want at most 2 but perfectly ok with one. She knows how I feel about the subject but told her there’s a part of me that does want child and since neither one of us have no children yet, that it’s an ideal situation to have one or 2 if that’s what God wants for us. Like I said, I’d have no problem whatsoever marrying someone who has children from a previous marriage but I’ve witnessed what some of the drama friends have gone through.

After speaking with my mom, brothers, sister in laws, praying over the last couple weeks and reading your post, I’m going to ask her to marry me.


Don't be afraid to put your heart out there man. When this ride is over you don't want to be the guy laying on his deathbed beating yourself up with what ifs.

Thanks for all your words of encouragement.

Ol girl said yes so it looks like I’m getting hitched.

I want to throw this out there to the OB and get y’all’s feedback. I’m second guessing myself about remarrying and having kids even though I know it’ll be the greatest blessing. Since losing my wife and before then when I had cancer, I became a somewhat selfish person. I had to be to take care of myself. I’ve always had a big heart but I first noticed a change when I had my second bout with cancer. I wasn’t as compassionate a person as I was. Maybe that was just getting older.

The reason I bring this up is because for nearly the last 10 years when I’m not working I’m either fishing or hunting. It’s not an exaggeration when I say I probably average 2 weekends a year where I’m not fishing or hunting. I know that shite will drastically change getting married and especially having kids. Fortunately she enjoys fishing and hunting but there where will be times I want my brothers and I to just hangout to hunt and fish. She’s never given me heat over it before but we aren’t married. Just something I’ve been pondering today.

Oh yea, I caught some toads when I fished the other morning. It’s the first day I’ve noticed/ caught large females in 5’ or less of water. The previous weeks before that the large females I caught were 6-8’

You should definitely call it off 4 days after asking her due to an emotional weak moment because your dog died...

Thanks for being blunt. Seriously.

I was incredibly emotional but I had planned on asking her just not this soon.

I’ve thought about this one thing for a few months: I’ve just gone nearly a decade doing what I want when I want. I’m not going to die if I don’t get to hunt or fish as much. I’ll be fine. I’m happy with my life and I’m ok being alone but I’m happier when she’s with me.

We were both against living with one another unless we were married but a few months ago when I realized I really loved her and would possibly marry her, I asked if she would like to move in. She still has her home though but likely accept an offer for it Monday. Everything has gone great. And I’ve continued to hunt and fish almost just as much as before I was with her. She killed her first deer with a crossbow. She has killed a few with her dad over the years with a rifle but never a big buck. Her goal is to kill one with her compound I bought her November. When I first met her never would’ve thought she was into hunting and fishing. 115# gorgeous gal, Christian, financially stable and just a very easy going happy person. She’s pretty amazing. The reservations I was having earlier have nothing to do with her. I just realized that subconsciously I was looking for things to justify not remarrying because maybe I’m terrified of losing another wife to cancer or just losing her period. My mom and both sister in laws around Christmas all said that they believed the reason I hadn’t married her yet was because I was afraid the same thing would happen and I hadn’t thought about that conversation until today.

Prayers brother. It’s like losing a member of the family. My last two both died in my arms, I still tear up thinking about it. You are not alone in your mourning. Dogs are awesome because they aren’t with us nearly long enough.
