Just had to put down our yellow lab...

She was a little over 14 years old and as loving as she was stubborn. A great dog that we adopted when she just was just three.
Thursday, she was diagnosed with bone cancer that spread into her lungs...moving around was tough, even with heavy medication.
I didn't think it was going to be this tough...

At least she made a good run brotha. 14 years is longer than most labs. At least she's pain free in heaven now

Putting your padna down is one of the worst feelings ever. I'd imagine the only thing worse would be losing an actual child. Sorry to hear.
Oh yeah, cancer. It took my last dog away from me as well

I had to put my yellow lab / golden retriever mix, Jack, down almost three years ago on a Friday morning at 13 years due to cancer.
I adopted a 15 month old yellow/golden mix, Jackie, the following Monday.
I've got to say, given the choice, I'd rather have to put one down than have one get hit by a car, or something worse.
It get's better, my friend.

Sorry bro. Had a Saint Bernard, Earl, for 12 yrs. Finally had to put him down cause of bone cancer. We feed him ribeyes and miller lite (his favorite) and let him stay inside all he wanted. Luckily, he passed in his sleep the night before we were gonna take him in. Now I'm gonna

Sucks man. I lost my yellow back in Dec. She died before we had to make that decision.

Someone shared this with me when I lost my springer to Cancer few years ago so I thought I would pass it on.
From time to time people tell me, "Lighten up, it's just a dog," or, "That's a lot of money for just a dog." They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent or the costs involved for "just a dog."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a dog."
Many hours have passed and my only company was "just a dog," but I did not once feel slighted.
Some of my saddest moments have been brought about by "just a dog," and, in those days of darkness, the gentle touch of "just a dog" gave me comfort and reason to overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a dog," then you will probably understand phases like "just a friend," "just a sunrise," or "just a promise."
"Just a dog" brings into my life the very essence of friendship, trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a dog" brings out the compassion and patience that makes me a better person.
Because of "just a dog" I will rise early, take long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me, and folks like me, it's not "just a dog" but an embodiment of all the hopes and dreams of the future, the fond memories of the past and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a dog" brings out what's good in me and diverts my thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a dog" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from being "just a human."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a dog." just smile....because they "just don't understand."

sorry to hear man...My 14y.o. yellow is suffering a little from Arthritis in her front wrists...will be putting her on a regime of Novox on/off to make her comfortable...other than the arthritis she's pretty healthy, but know Labs don't live too much longer...she was our Kid when we thought we couldn't have any...so when her time has come I will be a fricking basket case...prayers go out to you...
