Got to take my dog in to be put down today. She has been a great friend for 12 years. The only dog I've ever had the pleasure of owning. I am hurting... This sucks.

Damn it. I feel for you on this one.

I've been down this road many times before, and I still don't know the words.

Sorry. I have faced the loss of a good dog many times. I never gets easier.

I have 3 and I dread the days, but always remember the life you gave them.

None of us are getting out of this alive, but a life of fun and love is not a wasted life.

Ten Things Your Dog Would Tell You .... If he could talk...

1. My life is likely to last 10 to 15 years. Any separation from you will be painful: remember that before you get me.

2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.

3. Place your trust in me- it is crucial to my well being.

4. Do not be angry at me for long, and do not lock me up as punishment.

5. You have your work, your entertainment, and your friends. I only have you.

6. Talk to me sometimes. Even if I don't understands your words, I understand your voice when it is speaking to me.

7. Be aware that however you treat me, I will never forget.

8. Remember before you hit me that I have teeth that could easily hurt you, but I choose not to bite you because I love you.

9. Before you scold me for being uncooperative, obstinate, or lazy, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I might not be getting the right food, or I have been out too long, or my heart is getting to old and weak.

10. Take care of me when I get old; you too will grow old. Go with me on difficult journeys.

Never say: "I cannot bear to watch" or "Let it happen in my absence."

Everything is easier for me if you are there, even my death.

Remember that I love you.

My deepest condolences heavywalker. I've been through it several times myself and as others have stated it doesn't get easier.

Their lives are so short because they love you so hard.

Sorry to hear it.
About to have to go through it myself.
After 13 years my lab, George was diagnosed with cancer.
I've shot two birds in all that time he didn't find.

My deepest condolences Sir

Really sad deal.
I love dogs, they truly represent the term "unconditional love".

Well it's done just came in from putting her in the ground. Not ashamed to say I sobbed like a baby.

Tough thing to do. Thanks for all your words. They do help a little.

This one is one of my favorites she looks goofy as hell but she lived to play ball. This was about 5 years ago playing with my daughter.

Nothing wrong with grieving Bro....anyone with a heart would do the same thing. Not a great way to start the week, but at least the Seahawks won....silver lining. Take care.

That's a great pic, she looks so happy, cute little tot too.
