My best bud/co-worker/best cigar friend left us this morning after 13 amazing and blessed years full of love I never could have imagined.

It was an extremely hard decision to make, but it had to be made and I am sure it was the correct one. Riley had been suffering from a condition similar to ALS for the past 4 or 5 years; mainly his back left leg would sometimes quiver uncontrollably. Over the past year, especially the last six months he had gotten to where he couldn't control either of his back legs when he walked and had a tough time getting up and laying/sitting down. Basically, he just didn't have the strength to go on.

Boo was able to spend a lot of time with him this week, and Lu and I sat out with him the last couple of nights on the deck, me with a cigar and bourbon and him with a fresh bone. Last night we took a short walk even.

Lu, Boo and I were with him to the end, and are better for what that little man brought into our lives. The thing that probably helps the most is knowing that now he's with Holly. He was so confused, for the longest time, when the ambulance took Holly away and then she never came back.

There will never be another like you, Until me meet again my Friend!

I'm so sorry to read this, Steve. May Riley Rest In Peace. Prayers for you and your family.

So sorry, Steve. Pets are family and their loss is felt deeply.

Thinking of you and yours today, Steve. Riley was absolutely beautiful.

I like the one where he was staring intently at your cigar and beer. "Just one puff and a sip? Pleeeasseee???"

Remember the good times with your buddy.

He definitely enjoyed cigar time. He could be out front, snoring in deep sleep and when I went to the back and opened the humi, he would be there like yea, yea, yea. Heaven help me if I didn't take him out with me. I did that ONCE, and he shuned me for a couple of days.

So sorry Steve for your loss of your best friend! You are in my nightly prayers!

I’m so sorry for your loss, Steve. Dogs are a gift from god and should be treasured as such. Clearly, you treasured Riley and you have all those wonderful memories as a result.

heavyd · 06-15-2021, 07:09 PM

Remember all the fun times and the great life you gave him. That's all we can do. It sounds like you made the painful decision at the right time. Bless you.
