Putting down a dog has to be one of the worst things you’ll ever do

2020 the gift that keeps on giving :crying:
We had to put down our family pet of over 10 years. Wife and I adopted him just after we got married.

Sorry for your loss man... I've had some terrible days due to that. Like Rip said from "Yellowstone"- "Id rather kill 1,000 men than put down a horse" (dog) in this sense.

I feel for ya man. I’m afraid I’m about to go through the same thing with my 6 year old lab. He’s slowly losing his motor functions and Vet believes it is a brain disease with no feasible solution. Timing couldn’t be tougher with our first child coming Wednesday.

What makes it worse is I am the one who ran him over. I have no idea even how it happened. We came home from dinner last night and with it being dark I never saw him in front of my vehicle. Hell he could have been laying in the driveway the whole time. When I got out to check on him he bit the shite out of me on my foot and got my two biggest toes pretty good as I was wearing flip flops. So after that I left my wife with him while I went inside to try to get bandaged up and he got up and ran off into the woods and we couldn’t find him. Then we got a call today he was laid up in the neighbors yard I guess trying to get home. He was too far gone by then. Sucks. I don’t know if I’ll ever own another dog. I don’t think I can go through that again.

I've lost 2 dogs and 2 cats this year. One dogs was 15yo and was just old the other was a year old BMC that was going to be a jam up squirrel dog, she got bit by a snake. Really hurt losing my girl and I don't normally let things like this bother me.

Sorry to hear. Close second to that shitty feeling is the first time you get home and the dog isn't there.

I don't have to worry about that w my breed. They are known for heart problems. The heart murmurs usually get them long before old age does.

You won’t believe me but this is actually good timing. The gift of a new child will make you forget about the dog. The love you’ll feel for that baby will be so intense that the loss of your dog will hurt but won’t feel so heavy.

It's a hard decision to make .... and harder to follow thru with.
3 dogs - 1 cat - and the Pug just turned 14 years old.

Sorry for your loss. Not to be cold blooded, but getting another dog to fill the void of the one you lost is a good idea. Lotta comfort having a dog at your feet or in your lap when mourning the loss of the previous one.

Man, I am so sorry. That is such serious suckage. Give another pup a chance at a happy life in a loving home.

Fukk i hate these threads. Sorry for your loss baw. It really is like losing a family member. I had one killed by coyotes a few years back and I didn't sleep well for about a year. My old lab is 12 now and I'm dreading it.

I’m very sorry for your loss & the trauma of how it happened
I hope you are able to find peace knowing you gave him a good life

Put my dog Buddy down about a month ago, and I’m still feeling it. So sorry. It does get better with time, but I think you just learn to live with it. They are such a part of our lives, they leave a hole when they’re gone. Have a good drink, smoke a cigar, and think about the fact that they loved you just as much as you did them.
