Me too....

Yesterday, we put our 11 year old GSD Kona to sleep. My wife, 3 boys and me were lucky enough to have a "country" vet who came to our home so Kona wouldn't have to go to the hated vets office. I've had dogs my whole life but never had to do it like this. It's really weird. You see the train coming down the track, you know it's going to hurt when it hits you but there is just no way to really prepare unless you'... (continued)

Say goodbye to my dog?

Thank you so much for writing this article. My dog was diagnosed with cancer a few days ago. It is a large mass and inoperable, but I will try radiation. I am unsure if this will work so I'm coming to the realization that it will soon be time for her to pass on. I'm incredibly sad for my sweet, sweet dog but your article has really helped me feel a bit better about how to approach this. Thank you, thank you!

CYBILL

I feel horrible that I waited tolong to put my lab mix down, yet I am also selfish and did not want her to go.. She was going on 16 y/o and could hardly walk on her back legs and one front leg was getting bad as well. Did I do the right thing? Should I or could I have done anything different? Hard part is my 2 y/o daughter asking about her..... We told her she went to be with Jesus (kinda worked) but still she questions it.. Any advice?

Littlebit

I lost my "Littlebit" 36 hours ago. She was with us for 14 wonderful years and was the best little dog. She was never once sick in all of those years. She died at home in her Mommy's arms of old age. I really miss her and all I can do is look at her photo on my desk and cry. I have her collar and her favorite toy and somehow holding that toy makes me feel better. She was my first dog and very best friend. I just ca... (continued)

Missing My Maggie Mae Rest Easy Baby I Love You

This morning I had to let my 13 year old boxer, Maggie Mae, go. She was old but such a loyal, sweet, loving dog. I miss her so much. I feel so bad - I nudged her to go down the stairs. She got the landing, layed down and starting panting for her breath. My daughter and I took her to the Vet Emergency where the doctor told us she had a heart condition and even if we took her to a cardiologiest she might last 6 m... (continued)

Painful Memories

A month ago I lost the sweetest Swiss Mountain Dog named Friendly. The loss was extremely hard for me since I knew him for seventeen, almost eighteen years from when I was a baby up until my eighteenth birthday. i found out in November that my best friend was gone. I didn't cry that day but now the pain set in and all I seem to do is cry when I talk about him...

Grief and acceptance of loss

My dog (10 year german shepard) was hit by a car last night...while chasing a ball. It got lose from my son and she darted into the roadway. She lasted the night, but my wife and I had to make the decision to put her down this morning. The greif is unbelievable, and I am constantly telling my son (he's 19) that it was not his fault. This dog was taken too soon...still healthy. it is a severe shock. Does anyon... (continued)
