I just couldn't help but to add my little girl in here!!! She's a German coat Giant Schnauzer just over 2 years old.

So I guess I"m really dadof4illinois!!

Dado, that dog looks like something out of the Secret of Nimh with those eyes glowing in that pic. Cool looking dog.

A piece of my heart has died. My beloved beagle, Benny, was put to sleep today after fighting Autoimmune Hemolytic Anemia and Thrombocytopenia for a month and a half. We went through various treatments and chemotherapy drugs, but in the end his body couldn't handle the stress so I decided to put him at peace and end his suffering. He had muscle atrophy in the head and couldn't close his jaws and had to be bottle fed water over the past few days. I had many plans for us after graduation such as going to hospitals as a therapy dog, exercising to lose weight (both of us) and just chilling and enjoying the prime of his dog years. Those people who were fortunate enough to meet him know how happy he was. I have no regrets of my decision and he lived a very wonderful dog life. I don't regret staying in Friday nights to watch a movie or TV with him and taking him out on my errands as he sat in the car. In a way, he actually trained me to appreciate and love dogs more than I ever thought I could. Benny never judged me, knew my moods, and adjusted accordingly. He was a vital part of allowing me to overcome all the crap I went through the past 3 years.

I love you buddy. Keep your tail up.

I MISS YOU !!!!

My condolences go out to you Dkim. Losing a pet is losing a member of your family. I don't know if this helps or not, but it sounds like you did the right thing.

I know how you feel. Putting down my dog was the hardest thing I've ever done. Take comfort in the fact that you were looking out for Benny, and not being selfish. You did what was best for Benny, and that's all that counts.

[The Dutch]

Its easy to say and hard to do, but Hang in there Dkim... All of us who have faced that decision with our pets know how hard it is. Be glad you had the time you did with Benny. I'm sure you made his short stay here a good one.

[WillyGT]

I know what you feel, it havent been long since one of my dogs died, but they are now in a better place . You did what was best for him, and he will always be with you .

Dkim,

Hang in there man. I had to make the same decision with my first dog out on my own. He was a "Fawn" colored Doberman named "Lazerus" and I had him for an awsome 10 yrs. He was absolutly my best friend and carried me through my first marriage and eventual dicorce, my years in the Military and many great days! I had to make the same decision (for other health reasons) and what sucked was I was living in Kuala Lumper, Malaysia and was not able to be at home with him.

This is a pic of what we now consider our Dog...His name is "Fatty"

Sorry to hear about losing your friend DKim. As a vet tech, I've seen too many dogs suffer that horrible disease. You did the right thing, what was best for your dog. It's a very difficult decision.

Cute puppy!
Here is a Picture of my two dogs: Roo (the old gray silver one) and Lusi ( the new pup)

First, thanks to everybody for posting pics of all of your wonderful dogs. Reading this post again makes me smile.

Dkim - I'm so sorry for your loss of Benny. He will always be a part of you. As tough as it is, I commend you! First for trying your hardest to help Benny, and then for making the correct decision when it was his time and not extending his misery just because it's hard for us to let go.

Your new pal looks like a fabulous new friend. He sure looks like a Miles to me, or maybe a Lloyd. Congratulations!!!!!!

LSU, that is a beautiful dog. I've always wanted a Rottweiler (sp?) but I'll have to wait till I get my own house.
