It's a very tough thing to go thru, there is nothing easy about it.
I feel your pain.:(

I love dogs. No matter how bad your day is going he is always there to greet you. Tail wagging, with tons of wet sloppy kisses. Dogs never have a bad day. they are just one big ball of furry love. He guards your house and family. He's your best hunting partner.

My dog had cancer as well. We had him put down by the vet. I was not able to be there. I had mixed feelings about it.

I feel your pain and understand your loss. I know words can't make it better. Anyone of us that ever had a dog will share your pain. Focus on all those good memories and you will smile.

I am sorry that you are dealing with this!Ourdogs are definitely a big part of our family.

RE: Tomorrow will be a hard, sad day
 

My heart goes out to you. One of the hardest things you will ever have to do.
If you can, you should be there. I wasn't for one of our dogs and I have regretted it, I just wasn't strong enough to see it.

Tough stuff for sure. I had to put a family friend down once with cancer in his sinus cavities and nose. He was the greatest of pets and friend. I felt like I had stabbed him in the heart when I had to tell the vet to do it. Just broke my heart. I still talk about ole Frank and so does my son. If my wife were still alive she'd tell you the same thing. Frank was special. Probably not to the world, but to his family he was. I'm sorry for what you have to do. Life just really sucks sometimes. My wifes cat, the cat of all cats died this past winter. She was 18. It just broke my heart. I have one more of my wife's cats, but it never like her, it became mine. When it's gone, I'm never having another pet. This one is 16. I'm not having one because of maybe loosing it, it's that I don't want to die and put the damn pet through trama with me gone if the thing outlives me. Now how sick is that.[&:]

I wanted to say thank you to all that responded. After reading them, I decided to take the day off and with my wife, we went and I am glad I did. It was hard and even though I tried to stay strong, I cried like a baby. Again thank you all for your responses and support.

Don't feel like the lone ranger, Ron. They bring us all to our knees.

I'm glad you made the right decision FOR YOU. Anyone with this much love to give to an animal......needs to think about giving that to another one. I'm sure, in time, you'll want to.

Just remember, though....;)

RE: Tomorrow will be a hard, sad day
 

My heart goes out to you. I have been in that situation and it was devestating to our family. In my household and my parents household the pets have been and always will be part of the family. They are just such loving and loyal creatures and I have always a tremendous soft spot when it comes to the family pets, so I wish the best to you and your family!!!
