Sorry to hear that, I had to put my dog down week before Christmas last year. I know how you feel. I look at her picture every morning and talk to her.


Been 14 years for mine to be gone Jeff, his name still pops up now and than in a conversation. They are like our kids, never will let them go.

You are far from being weird smitty. Just a good human being and not a thing wrong with that.

We don't know whether they'll be there and waiting for us - but I'm counting on it.

My sympathies to all, Wednesday we had to put Daffy to rest. We adopted her in the Spring of 2010. She has been going downhill for a couple of years, but medications slowed down the decline.
In reality, we were keeping her going selfishly for us. She really wasn't in a lot of pain (but she was never one to show or express pain either, so that's a hard to judge thing) but she didn't have much of a quality of life either.
After coming in from outside, after doing her "chores", she run around the living room, chasing her two kitties for a couple of victory laps, then go lay down and sleep.
RIP Daddy's Princess, you've earned it.

Dbed…euthanasia is absolutely the LAST/BEST thing that you can do for your friend…
You have fed her, taken care of her, and loved her all these years she needs your assurance
that what is about to happen is going to be okay because you have her back as she has
had yours for all these years…
And for God sakes be there with her. She has loved you, been by your side, and trusted
you for all these years so don’t just dump her off and be on your way as she needs you to
assure her that everything is right in both of your worlds…
Euthanasia is the toughest thing you learn in vet school and at many times I wished I had
never learned how…I was a 3rd year vet student when I performed my first euthanasia at the
request of a Professor that I admired and I thought about it every time I performed a euthanasia.
Fifty years later I went to visit him in Hospice and he apologized for making me perform it without
him present to support me…NO ONE is gonna give you the same option when you are lying on your
death bed for days or weeks.

Amen, well said. Our pets are there for us through thick and thin (even on those times when we may not deserve it) the least we can do for them is to be there when they need us the most.

So sorry for your loss, it’s a very hard decision to make, we had to do that too a couple years back. Never easy but I’m sure it was the right thing to do.

My Deepest Condolences. Unfortunately we have to do the same thing today with our son’s dog. It’s a sad day for all of us but pray that the Rainbow Bridge takes them to fun and happier places . Let’s never forget our special memories we had with our furry friends.

My deepest sympathy, we have a dog 12 years old and it's going to kill us when that day comes. I've done it so many times, and yet we all do it over and over. Take care, memories are always good .
