re: Putting my dog down tomorrow

I still miss my old boys from years ago. Those of us who have experienced this know how you feel and I offer my condolences to you.

Thank God for the gift of the dog! Had to make that decision this year too! I told everyone how hard it is to make that decision because you’re playing God. I do not want Gods job of when to choose death ??

I’m sorry man.
Take him on the “last ride.”
Pizza, ice cream, chocolate (not dark), whatever. Stay with him until the very end holding his paw. Don’t let him go.
shite I’m tearing up
It’s hard
But over the next 1-2 weeks your pain will begin the healing process.
He’ll he waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge

Sorry man. Cheers to those 16 years.

When we started a family we wanted a pet for the kids to play with. To us the obvious choice was a labrador, the best dog for kids. He's getting old, turned 15 and the hips started going. Walking and crapping at the same time we knew it was time. Took him to the vet, we get into the room he starts prancing around like what am I doing here.

I’m so sorry man. Take all the time you need to grieve. But remember all those amazing times yall had and never let them go.

I had to do this a year ago with our 16.5 year old dog. The night before was very difficult. Just held him close all night on the bed between me and my wife. All of my kids (14, 19, 22, and 25) were there when we drove him to the vet the next morning. Just gut-wrenching but something you know has to be done to end their suffering.

Just put our 13 year old mixed breed dog down. Was perfectly fine in December. Shortly after started throwing up brownish liquid. The progressed to weird poop and diarreah. Back legs were already going out but that was unrelated. Vet tested for cancer and he had lymphoma. Put him on prednisone and anti-diarreah. Deteriorated aggressively and got to the point where he could not keep any food down and that was it.

There are vet services that will come t ok the hose and put them down privately then take care of cremation. Expensive but worth it.

Whole thing is fricking terrible and depressing but try to remember all the good times.

I am sorry for the guys dog, but you are not wrong. The pet mafia is going to destroy you now. Get ready for your life to get hacked.

I’ve had to go through this once before, and it hit me harder than I expected. Esp being in that room with them till the end. It’s tough. They become like part of the family.
