So very Sorry to hear Dave, but you gotta do what you gotta do. We are far better to our pets than we are to ourselves. I have a 16 year old terrier that shouldn't have made it this long and we are just waiting, so I can very much appreciate what you and your wife are going through. Hang in there it will get better just because you cared enough to end a pups suffering.

Its a tough job man!! Better to know that they are down though. We have had pets go missing and you think that you just saw them running around the corner for a long time!! Sorry for you!

Chitty! So sorry for your loss. I never thought it would be such a difficult thing to do until I had to do it a couple of years ago to our 16 year old Terrier. And I wasn't even that close to the dog. I feel for ya. :beer:

Sad to read about your loss! I have been there as well, it is one long hard ride to the vet when you know what the trip is about and your buddy is still loyal to you
to the end.
Happier times ahead.

Sorry to hear that Dave. We had to put down our golden lab last summer. Put her box of ashes in her doghouse in the garage and still say hi to her everyday when I walk by. Can't bury her yet. Pets are part of the family.....

Sorry to hear about your dog. They truly are mans best friend... I've lost two dogs. One which I still don't know to this day what happened to him, he was my best bud. It's hard, but when you know he's done suffering, you know you did he right thing.

Well, that made me cry. Gawd that sucks. Funny how those stinky four legged critters take their muddy little paws and leave the prints forever on your heart isn't it??

My old faithful suddenly got a very aggressive cancer this fall. Much like your pup, the vet thinks surgery is an outside chance for cure- even if they got it all, and it hasn't spread, and he didn't die on the table, it might buy him 9 months. The tumor is large enough that healing would take near that long and at 11 years old it's just not worth it. So when the time comes, he will get the quick sweet destiny that we can't offer so many of our fellow humans.

For now tho, he doesn't seem to notice the 25-30cm tumor above his left hip, and continues to run away on a daily basis!! As long as he is well enough to continue his stubborn leaving, then I get to have him for just one more day... I don't know what our family, or our other dog who relies on 'old faithful' for all functions from breathing upward, will do when the time comes.

No more dogs- it's just too hard :(
