Guy was as cool as its possible to be.

I'm a complete and utter wreck.

Sorry. Never an easy decision even when you know it's the right thing to do.

Sorry for your loss of your family member. It's never easy and it shouldn't be.

Take solace in knowing you gave her/him and she/he gave you unconditional love and you were always there for each other.

I've been through this too many times (once is too much) and when they're suffering it's very, very tough emotionally.

This crushes me as we just started a new chapter with a puppy. Going through what you’ve been through is literally the hardest thing in life, I’d imagine, next to losing a child...I’m not looking forward to that day but the years of awesome memories and love make it worth it!

Feel your pain bud. Just got my little buddy back. Made him a stainless plaque for his ash box. 16.5 years with him left a hole in my heart.

Worst day in a fur baby family's life is when they go or we have to help them to rest in peace. Sorry for your loss we know exactly how you feel. It never gets easier but remember this, you gave your fur baby the best life possible during her life here on earth and she loved you guys more than you will ever know and visa versa I am sure.

So sorry for your loss!

We said good by to our Rubi (Aussie shepherd) over memorial weekend and it seems just like yesterday.
Pain still hurts. Rubi would lay at the Frt door waiting for me to come home, she had a one of a kind personality.

But just know they are waiting for you, one day you’ll all be back together and can play the endless game of fetch, happy times once again!

Saturday was the one year anniversary of the last one I lost. I was able to do it similar to you, her legs just quit working on her, Dr came to the house, very peaceful and calm. I literally did nothing all day, just weighed on my mind even with 2 puppies running around. For me is the worst part of life having to let go of the fur kids, never had kids myself so my dogs are my family.

Very sorry sir. It gets easier, but definitely takes time.

So Sorry to read this U.D. I know exactly how you feel and it's the absolute worst. My heart aches for everyone I read having to go thru this. Cancer is evil shit. My wife and I have gone thru this with our last two fur babies and my mom just a month ago. Doing everything you can to help them and yet watching them struggle is a horrible feeling only to have to say good bye. I wish I could say or do something to ease your pain but I know It doesn't really exist. I was a total emotional wreck for a couple days after saying good bye to my chocolate lab Reese in Oct. and It still hurts a little every time I see picks of her but it's getting better. I hope the heart wrenching pain eases for you and your family soon. So very, very sorry.

Thanks everyone- super rough day.

To the guys that saw the thread title and couldn't even bring themselves to click it open because its too close to home - I understand.
Same with the guys that clicked and just dont know what to say or dont want to say anything- I get that too.

I really appreciate the support of my "boating family" and will do my best to be there for you all.

you guys are great

Dave
