No pics but I used to have a pet hamster that died. I was playing around with him on the bed and my body rolled over him several times. When I found him afterwards, his body was still.

Something funny the other day while I was mowing the grass.
As you can see in the photo, Ozzy's old face has a lot of white in it. The windows in my living room are tinted and you can't see inside much from the outside. I was mowing the grass and going by the living room window when I saw Ozzy's head appear in the dark window. It was funny as hell because what I instantly thought of was the scene in Halloween where Michael comes out of the dark behind Jamie Lee Curtis and all you see is his white mask. All I could see was the white fur and I thought of the movie Halloween.
R.I.P. Ozzy
It's been a sad couple of days as I had to let Ozzy go Tuesday. He had a good run, he was 14 1/2 and very healthy for most of that time. His back end had just about completely given out. It was tough because he still seemed so mentally alert and was in good spirits considering the pain he must have been in when he walked. Through all of his leg troubles the past year, he still wanted to go for his afternoon walk and I would take him even if it was just to the end of the property and back. A couple of months ago, he stopped wanting to even do that. Here's the youngest photo I could find of him (he was 2) and there are a few of the old guy in the posts above.

I am so sorry for this loss fljoe0 . May Ozzy run free of pain now just over that Rainbow Bridge. He had a wonderful life with you. Hold each memory close. He will always be with you. (((fljoe and Ozzy)))
I'm so sorry. It has to be the hardest thing any pet parent has to do even when we know it's the right thing to do.
Sorry for your loss. My Pepper is also a black lab. They make such wonderful family members. The end of life decisions are hard. My heart goes out to you.
Before Hurricane Frances, I don't think I have ever seen a dog have more fun than Ozzy did playing in the wind. That was a very slow moving storm and we had 35 mph or so winds and heavy rain for hours before the hurricane made landfall. I let him stay outside while it was still safe for him. He was in the back yard running back and forth chasing flying pieces of paper and being pelted by rain. Periodically, he would stop and sit down (in his best RCA dog pose) facing the wind and just let the rain pelt him for a while, then take off running again. He loved being in wind and rain and the pre-hurricane weather was a blast for him.
Aww, I'm so sorry fljoe0 . Ozzy was beautiful and it was always clear how much you loved him. Sending big hugs to you.
RIP Ozzy.
RIP Ozzy.
(((Ozzy))) (((10K))) Ozzy was a lucky dog to have such a loving caring human. It's terribly hard to know when to say good-bye but Ozzy thanks you for not letting him suffer.
I'm so sorry to hear of Ozzy's passing.
...my friend, Ozzy was lucky to have you as his "hooman" and you were blessed with his undivided love for many years, a bond that any man knows as a gentle and nonjudgmental grace...may your hurt be short and your memories long...
Aw crap. I am so sorry. What a beautiful guy. And is this your daughter? She's a cutie too.
Thinking of you and yours.
How I spend my days now...with Nibbler and Sunni. Does anyone remember my sweet Rescue pup? She has been my nurse-maid for a long time now. Talk about paying it forward! Plus Nibbler has recently joined the Get Better fest. He lays his big head on my shoulder to kiss me...He also purrs like a Mac Truck, but I find it quite soothing...
