today, me and my family had to make one of the hardest decisions ever, was deciding to put my eldest dog to sleep. For the last three weeks, his lymphoma has really blown up taking a toll on his body. this morning he just seemed so off, didnt greet me when i woke up or take his treats. the look he gave me immediately told me that it was his time to go. by mid morning his breathing and energy just went downhill, so we painfully took him to the vet to be put to sleep. being my first dog, i never knew how hard it would be to see him go. its a feeling as if their is void in my life and my families life. coming home and not seeing him on the couch is weird. i feel like ive lost my childhood friend, my brother... he was a part of the family. even the other two dogs are constantly looking for him, even his own son. truthfully, as much as me and my family knew that his health was heading south, there is no preparation for the actual day like today. all i can say is RIP Kai, i know youre in a better place now and you dont have to suffer anymore... i will miss you. sorry for the depressing post, but i just needed to get things out.

:cry:

its crazy because last night he was acting like healthy as he could be but this morning, things changed SO quick. and he was going to be 12 this year. sorry for your loss also, its amazing how attached our pets are to our lives, and seeing them leave so fast takes such a toll on us.
 
I never understood why people got so upset for soooo long after loosing a dog untill it happened to me , its not like loosing a fish nothing compares they truely are mans best friend , hope your other dogs are ok with the loss of there family and friend , it is so hard I was welling up reading your first message and writing mine , just been out on the field with swift for his morn run he's fast asleep next to me now lazy boy lol
 
Very sad day. We are almost there with our oldest as well so it really hits home. Our guy cannot use his back legs anymore. He has to be carried up and down the stairs and he is on pain meds that are allowing some quality of life. But he is starting to get depresses and the time is waiting for my wife to be ready. This is my 5th dog or cat in my life that we have gotten to the moment you have just gone through. It never gets easier. I will always miss them, my buddies. Each of them brought so much to the family and friends. I have been truly blessed with great pets. You have done the right thing.
 
Depends on what fish you own. My 2 family pets happen to be a Dog and an Oscar. imam be so sad when those two die :(
