Airedales are so unique and beautiful.  How is the temperament and personality?

How sweet!!! How's the other dog taking it...? Do they get jealous, like cats?

Like most breeds you can find good and bad. We met both parents of these two and they are stunningly nice animals. All terriers are feisty, so we'll have our hands full with these pups for a while. As a breed they're amiable, smart, loyal, tough, and mischief on four paws waiting to happen.

They can get very jealous. Her nose is out of joint somewhat but a bit of common sense handling will soon get us past that. The puppies have a serious case of heroine worship; they really perk up when she's around.

I removed the funny pictures of my dog Cliff, because he became a very heavy brain damage last night and so I had to put him down today .
I´ll never forget you after all the 13 years we had.

My condolences, Crush.

That's always hard. Been there more than once. It never gets any easier.

But in a way, I don't think we'd ever want it to.

Our heart goes out to you -- just remember that he lived a very happy life with you as his best friend -- not much more one can ask for in this life.

Crush - my condolences. I've only had to do this twice and it was very hard. However, whenever I reflect on it, I am happy that I was able to relieve their suffering quickly.

I thank you all for your solicitousness!

Even one week after that bad day I have very hard feelings several times a day and dark thoughts. Every thing and place that recalls my dog is hurting. It helped a little bit that I collected all of Cliffs pictures and movies in a digital photoframe that´s always in sight and to visit his grave every day. I never could imagine that I can get so brutal sad after losing my dog.

The only thing to do for that is give it some time.

There's two dogs in particular I've lost that still cause a twinge of sadness every time I think of them. And I think of both of them at least once a day. And despite the fact they've been gone for several years now, losing them never really did stop hurting.

But oddly enough, over time, this same hurt acquired a paradoxically joyous overtone. Go figure. I guess it's something like the "good ache" you get when you exercise. It hurts, but it's also good for you.

Hang in there! :)

Hmmm...I don't know if that's always the answer.
I lost my mom 2 years ago, and after 1 year, I would still sit and cry uncontrollably for hours. I would hear a song that reminded me of when I was a kid, and that would be the last thing I'd do that day. I became less functional instead of more, and time was not helping at all. People were noticing that I was still grieving as if she'd just died. I couldn't even look at food she used to make without crying! [As a side note, this is why I joined DC! For a distraction - to keep running across computing terms and ideas I didn't understand, looking them up on Google and learning. It helped, a little, but I was too lazy, so now I just hang out in the Living Room  ;D].

Anyway, reluctantly  >:(  I followed my doctor's advice and went on medication to help keep me out of 'the hole'. It helped a LOT. I still grieve, I still feel my love for her, I still cry, but for minutes, not hours. There are also fewer (and more fitting) triggers now. I just don't fall into such horrible deep sadness like you describe. I'm not at all embarrassed by it, as the circumstances surrounding her death were particularly upsetting.

My point is that time usually helps, but sometimes it doesn't help soon enough, and if the grieving doesn't seem to be changing after a few months, this may be something to consider. I hope you don't need it, but if you do, you're certainly not alone!

I do hope you feel better, and soon!!!  :) 
-Sarah
