Almost time to let a loyal friend go
I have just about 2 hours until I take one of my dogs to the vet to let her go to a better place. Really a bit of a bummer. She has cancer and two weeks ago she started going into kidney failure. We tried medicine to no avail and she just quit eating a few days ago. I think I am bumming out more for her sister, a litter mate, and how she will react. They are like two peas in a pod and have never been away from another. I am hoping she doesn't freak out too much.
The one that will be going down is Maggie, the black and tan in the photo in the link. http://www.chiefsplanet.com/BB/showp...2&postcount=82 All dogs go to heaven. |

Sorry, Treb. It's tough to let them go. Be strong, brother.

A good dog just doesn't live long enough. I miss mine, and haven't gotten another yet. One day, I will, though. It's tough, I know.

Its like losing a member of the family. Feelings for a pet can cause real pain. An experience most of us share. Sorry for your loss.

I'm going to have to do something similar soon with our Hunter Dog. I'm very sorry to hear this.

Sorry to hear it. My good buddy is still in my avatar....he left us a couple of years ago. His "sister" just last year. It's hard to deal with. There's obviously the loss of someone close, but there's also the passage of time angle that gets me. Show your other one the love, and you'll be surprised how resilient they'll be after a week or two.

Well, it looks like my dog has terminal lymphoma. I was hoping for better news but I suppose it's not to be.

These threads are always so hard to read. I went through this last year. Couldn't eat or sleep for days. But what's funny about losing a pet is that a few days later, I didn't look back in sadness. I looked back and smiled. It's a different way to cope with a loss but it helped me a lot.

I've had to put a couple friends down.
Hardes't things I have had to do...I always swear to myself I will never get another dog. I type this with my two best buds asleep at my feet. Hang in there Treb. It is extremely tough, but it gets better.

Not to laugh, but that's the truth. Give them the best and they'll, give you ten times more......then when they go, there's another ready for the love. I joke with my wife that our dogs when they go, would want us to get another.

I don't have any pets, but I'm always amazed by the profound effect they have on people. Sorry to hear about your friend. I'm sure you gave him or her a fantastic life.
