Wednesday, you bear the burden that all of us who have and love our dogs must bear. When our little fur-ball of joy comes into this world we are here to greet them. We feed them, care for them, and love them unconditionally for the entirety of their time upon this blue ball we call Earth. When the time comes that their life draws to a close, despite the fact that it is painful, saddening, and heart-wrenching, it is our duty to remain there with them as that one constant they have known from the beginning.
You have borne your burden and you know full well the deepest pangs the heart can know, but in accepting and fulfilling your obligation you provided Annabelle an unbroken constant fountain of love. A dog can ask for no nobler gift than the unfailing love you have given. She rests easy now, having known a life full of love and companionship.

I'll be joining your grief soon. My black lab is 19. That's past average life expectancy. She's feeble but still seems content and without pain.
People always told me that she would let me know when it was time. Annabelle was older and slower and deaf as a post - and I knew by Thanksgiving we probably wouldn’t have much time left.
In the end, though, it was completely unexpected. I brought her outside for her morning business and she just collapsed. And I knew. It didn’t make it any easier, but at least once I got her to the vet, there was nothing they could do. Poor sweetheart was already dying.
Living alone, I was never alone. Annabelle was always waiting there for me and always thrilled beyond imagination to see me. She was the first dog that was “my dog” and I raised her from a puppy. Perhaps her greatest gift to me is that I know I can’t be without a dog. They make our houses homes. I need a minute- but I love the thought that she will find me another.

I wish everyone on the planet to own 'that dog' at least once in life. I did and knew it early on.

I had to put down my 15 year-old beagle back in '16. I told the vet that even though it's only a half mile drive from his office to my house there would be no way I could handle it. Before I finished talking he volunteered to come to the house and put her down peacefully without her getting nervous about going to his office. He has his degree from LSU so him and I bonded quickly and became pretty decent friends.

Our pets are our family. When we lose one, we lose a close family member.
Very sorry for your loss. Sending hugs and thoughts.

Yeah, I tried that, and accomplished the dastardly deed. I held my "Chipuppy" while our Vet inserted the needle, and she looked me straight in the eye with total confusion and heartbreak at why after all the years of love and loyalty, I was now turning on her and killing her. Communicated eye to eye with zero doubt and it knocked me to my knees. A definitive and transformational point in my life, as I challenged the Good Lord, and got an answer real quick.
Love is very fleeting, as there is a great gulf of a lack of communication on the part of us all. And it creates very painful scenarios. The day is nigh when that space will go away and "Oh death, where is thy sting" will be the new narrative.
Lord come quickly.

So sorry, buddy. Prayers for you and your family. It's never easy.

Annabelle was a very good girl.
RIP but memories and feelings live forever.
