Saying good bye tonight was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do. I always imagined a fight to the bitter end, but when it came down to it… I couldn’t let you suffer for my sake any longer. I loved you, Love you, Will love you always.
My dear sweet Buddy boy
So sorry! It's an awful decision to make and nothing makes it easier. I still remember the last moments of our family dog Spring being put to sleep.
Sorry D, my thoughts are with you.
Thanks. We're trying to bring ourselves to emotional equilibrium today. Buddy absolutely was family. As a couple this was the hardest thing that Nicole and I have ever experienced. We absolutely feel that we did the right thing, but that somehow does nothing to blunt the sadness. We backed up his crate this morning, theres this big hole in the room where it was. We have all these food dishes and water bowls… all of a sudden there's too many of them where before there was barely enough.
He had a hard last day… But he ate a full meal, He played in his kiddie pool with his squeeky ball. He barked when Nikki got home. He still wagged his tail when we came to him that night to comfort him as he shuddered with each breath. He got to have as good a last day as possible and he never lost the things that made him who he was.
I can't type any more or I'll start crying again.
Thanks for your empathy guys
I'm so very sorry to hear. I too lost a beloved <del>pet</del> family member today, so I know exactly what you're going through.
Hang in there man.
I'm sorry for your loss
