I am on my way out in a couple of min's. I made the appt for my darling dog. Its time for her to be happy again. She is 16 1/2 and has given me many, many years of unconditional love and tons of stinky, sloppy puppy kisses.

I literally feel like my heart is breaking, or that it is filled with a 10000 lbs of lead. I physically hurt all over, but i know it is the right thing to do for her. She has been my best friend, and my god I am going to miss her.


I should be back tomorrow- but I didn't want anyone to worry if you don't see me in the Daily Ooos.

I'm so sorry. You are doing the right thing. A couple years ago the Cat of My Heart just looked at me one day. I could tell he was saying, "Mom, I know you don't want me to leave, and I'll stick it out awhile longer if I have to, but I'd really rather go." My DH took him to the vet for me, and held him until he was gone. I couldn't do it. I'm bawling like a baby as I type this...for you and for me.

Chris, my heart goes out to you. All of us who've had to do the "right" thing know it feels so wrong. Hugs to you!

So sorry Chris, this is the hardest thing to do, but you are doing it out of love for your wonderful dog. My buddy (his real name) died last year at 10 and I had to put my dog before that to rest at 15. They are truly part of our family and I am heartbroken just reading this. ((hugs)).

My heart breaks for you, Chris. Our furry friends need us to be strong when this time comes for them and yet this is such a difficult decision. Sending hugs and good thoughts your way.

Thank you all so very much. To say that this is no different than losing i family member is no exaggeration, as any of you have been through this know. That didn't make sense, did it? But YKWIM-

To say that she was my best friend is not an exaggeration either. when my kids were little and Gary was first very sick and un- and misdiagnosed, it was a really difficult time. ...beyond horrible.... and I had very few people to talk to. I would cry on my puppy's shoulders constantly and tell her everything that I couldn't tell anyone else. She might not have been able to say words, but I knew she loved me and understood how much I needed that.

A few years later, I needed a break from life and she and I went up to my mom's lakehouse, just the 2 of us. We went for walks, watched TV, shared Chex Mix- I don't like the pretzels and she did. :)

And then all of the goofy things she did.... LOL She would run so fast around my house, in circles, that her back legs couldn't keep up and her butt would drag on the ground.
And her ears- she always had one ear up and one down, until we got Ravyn who chewed on them and she had to have surgery to repair them.

She was awesome wityh my kids when they were babies- Scott was learning to stand and would pull up holding onto her face. She would not move a muscle, but would roll her eyes towards me and "say" Mom- Help!
She never barked- in spite of Gary and I trying to teach her- until Scott was born. Then she only ever barked if someone she didn't recognize came to the door.

I could go on and on. But if you have fur-babies... you know exactly what I am feeling.

Thank you for letting me share. And thank you for your thoughts and words and hugs. Means so much. xoxo

OMG! So sorry to hear this Chris! Its such a horrendously difficult decision to make, they are so much a part of the family - we had to have both our cat and dog put to sleep within six months of each other. We haven't been able to bear getting another animal since, although I'm starting to give dh a nudge!
