Default Had To Put My Dog To Sleep

Had to put my dog to sleep. Heartbreaking time and I hate having to make that decision. But you know when it is the right thing to do. When they aren't getting better and the prognosis is not good. It is a shame that pet ownership comes with such a negative side. We had a wonderful couple of years with her. I hope she enjoyed her time with us as much as we enjoyed our time with her. She will be sorely missed.

So sorry for your loss. Be comforted that you knew to do the right thing at the right time. It takes courage, but it's right.

It is always a very hard decision to make but when there is no quality left in your pet's life, it is the right thing to do.
I believe in this for humans, as well, but our laws do not permit this.
Please know you did do the kind thing.
You will always miss her, smile at the funny things that happened in her life with you and little-by-little as time passes, the sadness will lessen.

Default Saddened for you......

I am truly saddened to hear it. It is a difficult decision for pet owners to make, which I have had to make more than once. Please accept my condolences for your loss.

Geo, the words that I remember a few hours after we experienced the same thing was from a fellow TOTV poster whom I've never met. "They Said My Heart Bleeds For You". So many people on the Forum would take your pain from you if they could.

We are so sorry about the loss of your beloved pet. My Heart Bleeds For You. I hope for your pain to ease quickly. Take Care. Nucky.

I'm so sorry, GeoGeo. No time is a good time to lose a beloved pet, but the holidays are especially hard. I still miss every pet we've ever had.

I love that you were able to give her some good years. Was she a rescue? How old?

Thank you, CFrance. Yes, she was a rescue. We are guessing around 9. Best dog we ever had.
