Sorry bro. The only thing worse in life than losing a dog is losing a child. Hug your kids extra tonight and my condolences on your dog.

Sorry to hear mate

If the boys can be there, have them come along too. It's a horrible thing to do, but I always felt better afterward when I was able to see them off.

Been there, sucks. Just make sure you’re in there with her when she gets the injection. Don’t leave her alone with the vet. She deserves you comforting her in her last moments. Brings tears to my fucking eyes just thinking of our dog and it’s been 6 years now.

Absolutely. Condolences. 15 years is a great life for a larger dog.

Sorry to hear that.My last dog I put down about 6 years ago and the day of I got him some cheeseburgers at McDonald’s with fries and nuggets and he loved it.The vet didn’t want me to hold him when they injected him but I made sure I held him when he took his last breath.sad times indeed.Wish you and the family the best.

That’s rough. 2007, last time I cried like a bitch, put my 13yr old English Bulldog to sleep.

Wish I wouldn't have clicked. This thread makes me want to cry. My condolences. You are doing the right thing as painful as it is.

May sound weird but as my dog was injected I held her eyelid open hoping she knew I was there.

Sorry to hear that brother. Losing a pet is tough especially one that’s been in the family that long.

As taught me by my mother, it is no mistake that the animal that loves us so unconditionally should be "god" spelled backwards. Yes, I am now an Atheist but never shall I be an assholist.

I am sorry for you loss, sir.

Hate when you guys get all serious with this. Getting all choked up was not in the cards when I came here just now.

Speedy recovery for you and your family. Tough loss.

consider cremation an option

DAN, Please accept my condolances also.

When it comes to animals of any type, I'm too damn sentimental.

Animals ( dogs, cats, birds, etc,) should be made to outlast their owners

Give another dog a good life ASAP by bringing him into your home.

Princess L · « **Reply #20 on:** August 21, 2019, 06:27:20 PM »

So sorry to hear this Dan.

I know it's probably too late since everything is in motion, but it's definitely worth considering in home euthanasia. Yes, it costs more, but the comfort of your fur baby and family being at home vs the long anxiety ridden ride and the cold medicinal vet office environment is worth it.

I held my last Bostin as she took her last breath and can't believe the one I have now is 12.

Dogs are better than people..sorry for your loss.

A message to Dan from a long time member who is banned.

Sorry, Bud. I know this might sound terrible, but you should get a puppy right away. Your kids will mourn, but they are young enough to except a new baby to the family.

I still have not gotten another Greyhound since my last two. I think about them every day.

Sorry to hear this Dan, but stay strong!
