very tough night

<p>Just got back from having to put my best friend - my dog - to sleep. She had been having numerous medical problems over the last 6 months and today she could hardly walk. I know I did the right thing and I stayed with her and loved her and talked to her until the end. I am just so sad. I came back to my empty house (my only son is in his sophomore year at college) and started putting her bowls and medicine away. </p>

<p>I knew this day was coming I just wasn’t ready yet… please give all of your furry babies an extra treat tonight in honor of my angel.</p>

<p>So sorry. I know how much it hurts, you never can be ready. {{{{hugs}}}}</p>

3

<p>You have my sympathies. We had to let our 13 year old lab go two weeks ago after a battle with kidney failure. He was an amazing dog; I’ve loved many but there was none like him.</p>

4

<p>I’m sorry, Charlottemom. You did do the right thing, but it still hurts. Bless you for staying with her until the end; that’s the last best gift that we can give them.</p>

5

<p>I’m so sorry for your sad loss, Charlottemom. I have no doubt that she knew how much you loved her.</p>

6

<p>My sympathies. I have been there, and it is painful.</p>

7

<p>I’m so sorry. She was a lucky dog to have you. Be good to yourself.</p>

8

<p>I’m so sorry for the loss of your beloved friend. Pets really are such good friends to us.</p>

9

<p>so sorry Charlottemom!!</p>

10

<p>So sorry to hear this. We, too, have been there, and it is very sad and painful, even when you know it was the right thing to do.</p>

11

<p>Had to do the same thing back in May with our 15 yr. old dog. Even when it’s the right thing to do, it’s terribly difficult. It does get better Charlottemom.</p>

12

<p>I’m so sorry Charlottemom. I know that it’s an inevitable day for all of us pet owners, but one that I dread. You are in my thoughts.</p>

13

<p>so sorry for your loss</p>

<p>So very sorry for the loss of your beloved dog. </p>

<p>I’m very sorry for your loss, Charlottemom. Our pets become members of our family and the grieving process is difficult. Take care.</p>

16

<p>condolences… I dread the day :(</p>

17

<p>We currently have two older dogs and one older cat. I know the day is getting closer and closer where I will once again have to make the final loving decision for my buddies. It is never easy. It feels like a part of you is getting ripped apart. And yet, we love them enough to do the right thing. </p>

<p>Sending hugs…</p>

18

<p>I’m sorry for our loss…even when you know it’s the right thing…it leave a hole in your heart.</p>

19

<p>I had to do this about 6 months ago, it was gut wrenching at the time, especially because DD, who was so close to the dog was abroad. That was not a phone call I wanted to make. My heart goes out to you.</p>

<p>Hugs to you, it is so hard, your pets are just such an important part of your life.</p>
