re: Gotta put my buddy down. How do people do this!?!

Man too many onions in this room ....

Never easy and it shouldn’t be.

My advice is take him in, be there through the process, scratch his hear (give him one for me) hold him while he fades away. Then cry your eyes out.

A friend gave me dog heaven (LINK ) after my last lab died and its a great read especially for the kids.

I had my last lab cremated, buried him on a high point in the marsh in a shell box w/ his whistle and a dummy ... Still hunt there and give the rock that marks the spot a rub everytime I’m out there.
Not looking forward to this for my next lab (as someome said earlier it would be great if he passes naturally), he has grown up w/ my oldest, they are best buds. I’m the top dog in the group but he and my son are buds.

Onions ......
