Dogs and surfers

Good looking dog but did y'all just bury a dead body or what?

 

+1 for dogs

 

Good looking dog!

 

sometimes we have to

 

Haha! I feel ya. Another missing tourist. Good boy! He looks proud.

 

The pup standing up is "Bodie" - named after Shwayze in Pointbreak. Been my best friend for the past 8 years. Just got the word that he has an aggressive cancer. According to my parents he's still in high spirits, but we are trying to determine when to let him go. Never in my life have I had an animal so attached at the hip. Anywhere I would go, he would follow. Never ready for this time, but all good things must end. My buoy's legacy carries on, but damn am I sad.

 

I don't believe every surfer should have a dog,i believe every person should have a dog.save the dawgs

 

iv lived with animals since I was born,cats,dogs,turtles,and phisch.a lot of people suck and animals are just better lol

 

Sad about this too Kanman. Dogs make our lives better for some reason. They are non judgemental (except maybe Chihuahuas) and always know how to make us smile. Can't say that about most people. It sounds like you gave him a purposeful life and I think that's all they want in return.
Man...this got me teared up...

 

I appreciate the kind words, fellas. Its nice knowing there are other ppl out there that feel the same type of way. I know I'm not alone. This whole thing kind of has me questioning the existence of life, it's purpose, etc. etc. I guess we just gotta take it as it is and go forth. Only time will heal this. But, I'll be damned if I'm not going shred in remembrance of my buoy every time I go out, after he passes on.

Yew.

 

We just lost our dog to lung cancer of all things a couple months ago. No known cause drives me crazy, no source tumor or environmental issues and she was only 8. We did everything we could to spoil her and keep her comfortable and happy. She told us when it was time, she woke my wife up by nudging her arm with her paw. Went from normal to downhill inside of an hour. She knew it was time. She was never in pain thank goodness but that also made it harder because she was still wagging her tail right up to the end... Still see her everywhere.

Keep him comfortable and give him whatever he wants. It's what he'd do for you.

 

+1 Couldnt agree more.

 

I feel for you brother. This diagnosis kind of came out of the blue too. Not many warning signs.

He's definitely gonna get spoiled when I get back home for our last rendezvous; a full day on the beach, bones, toys, you name it - they are all on tap. I'm just thankful we could give him the the great life and care that every dog deserves.

 

Sounds like he's in the right hands. I really feel for you though. Never easy but at least we got the chance to really truly enjoy the company of our best friends for a little while.

 

I like dogs, but don't really have time for them. With many nights spent out of town on business, between the months of September and April, I just have no one to take care of them and I have a roommate, but he also works with me. I don't really trust just anyone to come into my house when I'm away and take care of my pets. It's enough that I have my neighbors get my mail for me when I'm away for days at a time. Sometimes, I'm away for a week to 10 days at a time, between September and April. My best friend comes to visit for the Summer and brings his dog.

My ex-fiance and I, had 3 cats and a 2 guinea pigs, back when she still lived here. It was great, since she was here every night. And when we went out of town together, we would just bring them to her sister's while we were away.

 

Clicked on this thread and posted, before I read any of the new posts. Sorry to hear this man. I hate hearing stories like this. It's one of the reasons I'm okay with not having pets, as I get attached too much and would be heartbroken when they're gone. With that said, I don't think that should get in the way of people having pets, as well all lose the people we love as we get older, even the humans. I kind of got sad looking at the pictures.

Sorry to hear that. These stories get me choked up a little bit. I kind of miss our cats and guinea pigs, that we had when my ex-fiance was here. One of the cats died about 6 months or maybe even less than that, after she moved out. I think the others are still alive. She got one of them about a few weeks before we first met, then we got the other a few years into dating. The one that died was a stray from her parents house, but we were already together by the time it wandered over there. We got the guinea pigs together, which are probably both dead now. I know one of them died almost 3 years ago. The other is probably no longer alive, it would be like 7 or 8 years old now. I kind of missed the animals more than her, for a while after she was gone.

 

Soulrider just shaped this sick stick for me. It’s the “bodie biscuit” a tribute to my dog that passed last year. We lammed a photo outline of him inside the glass.







Super stoked on it: 5’2” x 21.5”x 2.75” stringerless with a carbon patch. It has a belly in the first quarter, to very slight concave to double concave to a little bit of vee out the tail. Blunt nosed and shallow swallow tail with mellow rails up front and hard rails in the back. I got a true Ames twin keel set up for it. I wanted a little more performance out of my last simmons and also a little smaller so this is what I got. Pumped to take her out on her maiden voyage.

Props to the Soulrider for hooking it up. He’s making his own label “Barnacle Glassing” and all I can say are good things about it. He did me a quality board at a cheap price. I think he is starting to take orders from anyone. Hit the dude up.

 

Beautiful dog and board. Write up a report after the first surf. Interested in hearing how it rides.

 

Sunrise with NICO P.S sorry to hear about BODIE, beautiful dog!
