One of the hardest decisions we have to make for our babies. I am so sorry for your loss.

Thank you for taking an older dog in and giving her so much love. You did the right thing then and the right thing now. There are no words to take away your pain right now. My sincere condolences.

Think I have cried more from my pets' passing than that of any human relative. My condolences.

All of my dogs have lasted 14 to 18 years, you know it's coming, but when it's time the reality hits you like ton of bricks. I think I would rather cut my arm off than have to take them. I hope when I pass my dogs are waiting for me in the after life. With that said I wish there was something I could say to easy your pain. They say time will heel broken heart, but IMO it's still part broken. Sorry for your lost.

My deepest condolences ..... the loss of a beloved pet family member is such a difficult pain. Making the ultimate sacrifice, thinking of their comfort, knowing how you will suffer because they are now free, is one of the hardest decisions to make. Thinking more of them than yourself is true, never ending love. I’m so sorry for your loss.

Default Sorry for your loss

Please accept my condolences for your loss. It is always tough when our beloved pets cross the rainbow bridge. I am sure that you will reflect on all of the good times you had with her, and I bet she was one happy camper to be with you.

She will be sorely missed.
So sorry for your loss. I know that horrible feeling but time will help lessen the pain

I'm so very sorry, I know it's heartbreaking. In time, the precious and wonderful moments you had together will overtake the heartbreak and there will only be smiles when memories of your pup come into mind.

I know it sounds silly to say, but I believe there is a "rainbow bridge", and your dog and my dogs will there all waiting for us. May we be deserving of their love. Healing takes some time, but take the time for you.

EVERYONE....I started going through and thanking each of you. But the condolences were many and I'm in the middle of several fundraising campaigns for the rescue I am a volunteer with. So I will just say a REALLY BIG THANK YOU for all the condolences and kind words. It is never easy when we have to make that decision. Thankfully I have been super busy so that keeps my mind occupied. I would suggest to anyone who has a pet pass to keep crazy busy so your mind does not have time to think about it. It is the quiet moments that get the waterworks (tears) going.

I sure appreciate everyone reaching out. Your words mean so much to me. Thank you all.

Good to see that you are actively involved with helping dogs and cats.
