Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

I am sorry for your loss, losing a friend that has been so faithfull for so many years hurts like hell, I know from experience. Try not to cry for what you lost, but smile for all the happy memories, even though that is very hard when your heart is still bleeding.

Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

Man, I couldn't get through this thread without tearing up. Reminds me of my best friend growing up, Buckshot the German Shorthair. It ripped my heart out when he died.

Sorry.

Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

I feel for you Joe. We have had to do that twice... Even when you know your doing the right thing, it is just a painful situation. Remember the good times.

She had been remarkably healthy for a dog of such advanced years. She was a "pound hound," a lab mix of about 40 lbs. After a brief episode two Christmases ago of some liver problems, she has been seemingly well. She was only noticeably sick since Wednesday. Her kidneys were failing... she likely had severe pancreatitis... and quite possibly advanced liver cancer (a guess by the vet) - but she has acted as she always had right up until Wednesday night. She had demonstrated no discomfort or symptoms through her many annual trips to the vet. We are grateful that she was only uncomfortable for such a brief time.

How strange it will be - not seeing her bright eyes and wagging tail. Having been with us since Christmas 1992, (when my boy was only 3 years old) my son does not remember a time we did not have her. She ran away only twice, and never again since 1994. She has been with us in three houses, probably 10 cars, been with us through both kids school careers - taking my daughter from first grade through college graduation! Her unconditional love has been a great source of blessing to my family through countless tough days at work or school.

Domino was a source of joy and laughter and more than a few anxious moments. She was also my most faithful herfing buddy. We will miss her terribly. Thank you for thinking of us.

Here is a picture of our "Old Girl" from Tuesday.

Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

Man my heart goes out to you Joe. We have a family dog as well and she's 12 1/2 now, very old for a doberman. We've had her longer than any of the kids, so I worry what they will think when her time comes. I keep dreading the morning when I wake up and she's not breathing. She sleeps in our room on her own bed as always Best thing to say is that you obviously gave your old girl a great life, 16 years, WOW!

Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

I'm so sorry. I have been in your position many times Joe and nothing really helps. You have 16 years of memories to hold onto.

You did the right thing.

Al

Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

Sorry for your loss. It is tough to lose a long time pet/family member, especially when the children have never been without them.

Re: Sad night - We had to put our dog to sleep.

I feel your pain. Smudge, our mini-dachshund just laid down and died last week. He was born on Nov. 1, 1995 and was a strong, muscular 15 lbs. until about a year ago when old age started setting in. A couple of days before he died he just about stopped eating and then he just laid down and went to sleep.

We have a huge backyard so I dug a nice, deep spot for him, laid him to rest and planted a magnolia tree over him.

He was a good smoking buddy. He would sit with me and not complain about second hand smoke or try and bum a good cigar.
