Had a really bad day!!!!!

[aany001]

Well today was a day that I was dreading for a really long time......I had to put our dog Jackie down today and it was terrible. I cant believe how attached one can get to an animal.She was 12 years old and what a ride it was !!!!! I have some incredible memories ,video and photos that we will cherish forever. Man I miss her already!!!!!!!

Sorry to hear, I know how you feel, I had to put down my 5 year old mastiff Tu-do last year,year before my 13 year old chow Misha(Bear) had died ,they were awsome dogs

here is my 3 year old puppy Bo

This is one I know very well. In August I had to put my buddy down. He was 15 and a half years old. I still get choked up talking about him.

Very sad and sorry to hear about this Steve!

I feel your pain....after 16 yrs we had to put my friend Rusty to sleep....he was suffering from the 'Big C' and it was best, but not an easy decision that's for sure!

Spend this time smiling and remebering the great times you had...time will pass and it will get easier, but we never forget our pets as they are part of the family!

How's the kids and wife doing with all this?

It's time for one of our hour long phone calls!!!

There's only one way to fix this.... with a NEW PUPPY! Thank god that your best friends had a good life... and know that you can never "replace them" -- but you can be happy with a new friend.

I know the feeling, all too well. It is extremely tough. I've had dogs all my life and it is very hard to put them down. Sorry to hear about that.

Greg is right here!!! I went out and got another puppy, months after I had put the last dog down. I had too. Good luck man!!

Sorry about your loss. Dogs are undoubtedly great companions. Mine goes with me wherever possible. Don't know how I'd act if I were to lose her. My family did lose beloved dogs twice now, and it's so wrenching. I agree on getting another dog whenever you're ready, not to replace, but there are plenty out there who can use a good owner who cares like yourself.

Man today was really hard and thanks to all for the kind words.I keep looking at all her favorite spots and waiting to see her turn the corner to greet me!!!! I still havent put her beds away and her food bowl still has her dry kibble in it. I am not ready to empty and put them away.Wow I really miss her !!!!

We just lost our 16 yr old Pomerainun-Shelty mix, Sugar. I can relate, its hard to lose a great pet. You love them so much, and they return the love. Just remember the good times you had, and joy that was brought into both of your lives.

I know it sucks. Hang in there buddy.
