My wife and I had to make the decision as to what would be best for my old girl Jesse yesterday. She was a 13 year old Beagle who was the best dog, and friend, anyone could ask for.
I rescued her from the local animal shelter Christmas 2013. I had just gone through a divorce, and was feeling low. She had recently had a litter of puppies and been picked up as a stray. I have always had a weak spot for Beagles and we hit it off immediately. She was always playful and liked nothing more than having her head stroked. She was one of the most social dogs I have ever seen. She got along with every other dog we encountered as well as every person too!!
She survived two bouts with Lyme disease, and a thyroid condition for most of her life. Most recently she became more lazy than a 13 year old Beagle should be so we took her to the vet for an exam. Congestive heart failure with an enlarged heart and liver as well as fluid on her lungs. We tried to medicate our way out of it, but she was in agony. It had been two days since she had slept or eaten, and we couldn’t bear to see her suffer any longer. Yesterday afternoon we took that longest ride.
Here’s to you Jesse!!

I’m sorry. Losing a dog is always the toughest part of having a dog. It sucks.

Good dogs ain’t that hard to find. Really great dogs are a gift from above. Sorry for your loss.

Will Munny: It's a hell of a thing, killing a man. Take away all he's got and all he's ever gonna have.
The Schofield Kid: Yeah, well, I guess they had it coming.

You can tell she was a sweetheart just by looking at her, great looking beagle. And she liked boats, the water. You guys took good care of her. you were both lucky. Rest in peace Jesse.

Sounds like a really cool dog, sorry for your loss
I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects
