No easy way to get this done. It sucks, it is painful on the heart, as long as you are sure it is the right thing for her you will feel better in the long run. I know your situation and feel your pain. Sorry to hear.

Sitting here with the wife after we buried our KC in the back yard.  Having a couple whiskey waters to numb the pain.  I read my wife the comments you guys have posted and started the waterfall again, thank you.  She doesn't understand why I'm always on here but I think she might have just a bit of understanding now, thanks for that!  I have never met most of you but why do I feel so much like I have, again I want to thank you for the words and for the guys who keep this site up and going.  I don't think we all know what it takes to keep this site up and running, I sure don't.  But I really appreciate the connections (friends) it produces.  God bless and thanks again.      Love you KC

Rough Day.  Remember the good times.  This is the toughest part of being a pet owner, but you have to do what is best for your pet.

We think we are able to handle most anything as men; macho and not to emotional. I went through the same experience that you had today and I cried at the vets and teared up for days after. As others have suggested, enjoy the memories of good times with your friend.

So sorry to hear that trophyhunt.  I know exactly what your going through.  Me and my family went through the same thing with our 14 year old Yellow Lab last year.  The hardest thing we ever had to do.  Remember and enjoy the good times.

Thanks again for the words.  I thought being at work today would help me think about other things, I was wrong. Damn this hurts, our hearts are truly broke.  Much harder than I ever thought it could be, damn we miss her.

The worst part about owning dogs is the simple fact that we will outlive many of them.  It's never easy, and they are never replaced.  However, there is always a new one waiting to come into your life.
Matthew 7:13-14
