re: How did y'all deal with putting a dog down

Sorry to hear about your dog. When I had to put my lab down it was heartbreaking to lose such a loyal friend. I had a sick empty feeling for a long time afterward, but it gets better knowing that the pain was over for them.

This morning I took our 6 yr. old beagle to the vet after he was lethargic, bloated, and obviously hurting to even move at all. He got into some type of poison over the weekend and hopefully we got him there quick enough. The wife and kids told him bye and were all sad and crying, and then I got that same terrible feeling as I carried him inside the clinic this morning. He's hanging on with no internal bleeding and supposedly no organ damage, but it's still pretty iffy if he'll make it through.

Sorry again for what you're having to go through.
