re: Having a hard time putting my Lab to sleep

Putting your dog down almost makes it all not worth it

Put him down dude. What are you still waiting on?

I had to do this last Monday. It truly sucks but I know in my heart is was the right thing to do. Both of his back legs went out and he couldn’t stand up anymore. I feel for you because that was the second time I have had to put down a family member and it doesn’t get any easier ??

ETA:,just realized this is a bump of an old thread.

Remember all of the great times. Hold him close one last time.

And then let him go. He deserves better.

Sorry to hear. Always hard.

It’s the most humane and kind thing to do. We should all be so lucky to pass peacefully in the arms of the people we love the most.

It’s not about you, it’s about not letting your loyal pal suffer just so you’ll still have him around.

Sorry to hear that. My parents put down our family dog of 15 years a week ago. An Australian Shepherd, amazing dog. It’s so damn hard, he had a good last day. We gave him some pepperonis he likes and a little ice cream. He just was physically hard to get up and walk, would be slipping on the floor and they didn’t want him to wake up in pain. Losing control of his bowels as well. He was very loved. So damn hard but have to remember that it’s for the best and he had a good life.

I hate animals but your poor buddy doesn’t have any enjoyment in life anymore. Let him peacefully go to sleep. He won’t hurt anymore and you’ll have the memories of a great friend. It’s the right thing to do.
