Another depressing dog thread

[Hawk]

unlimited kibbles and bits...it just sort of rains down at the most oppurtune time!

Thanks. The vet hinted that this was the best course of action. I just finished burying him and planted a dogwood to mark his final resting place. I figure in a few weeks I'll smile at the concept of a dogwood planted on a dog. He was a damn fine dog and one of the greatest friends any man could want.

Nicely done.

...sometimes I just want to take mine for a long one way ride...

Please tell me you wouldn't do this

[Hawk]

Please tell me you wouldn't do this

oh hell no...just sometimes a thought that crosses my mind....but I certainly would never do it!

Very sorry for your loss.

I've had to do it several times and to me it has never gotten easier. But knowing they are better off and finally out of pain, does help.

It's never easy to let a beloved pet, dog or cat go. It doesn't get easier for me with any animals I have had the misfortune of having to put to sleep. I had always hoped that mine would go peacefully and painlessly in their sleep. I am sorry for the loss of your dog. It sucks for us to have to let them go...but you know in your heart it was the right thing to do. I think there will be plenty of tails to chase and bones to chew in his new place. I am sad for you...I know how it feels all too well.

Good do your duty as a responsible owner.

I've seen way to many old dogs decline far to much.

Sorry for your lose there 88, he must have been a pretty damn good dog.

[The Saltman]

[LifeisaGarden]

So sorry for your loss.

wow...this thread is a curse...my wife just called and said she on the way to the vet with one of my daughter's cats. It had a bad leg a couple months back and some pain killer seemed to fix it up pretty good and he was doing great. Now all of a sudden, he can't seem to move either of his back legs. No sign of injury, nothing obvious, seems comfortable until you touch his hips....doesn't sound too good. She's going to be devastated.

I'm sorry to hear about the cat. I hope it's nothing serious.
