Sorry to hear you had to put it to sleep because I hace an old Rat Terrier that is getting to the point she yelps every time she moves and I dont think she will last the winter but if I have to put her down I will feel just like you. You have my sympathy . Hey Chet its not my camping dog Angel but my old house dog. Brad

I know how you feel bud.....loosing a dog is almost as bad as loosing a family member...because many times you are loosing a family member. We recently lost a red doberman after 18 years. The vet said there is no way she would have lived so long without plenty of love....she was one of the most gentle family dogs I have been around.

Our family feels your loss.
They become part of the family and will be missed. BR>
Thank goodness for puppies.

I know how you feel man. I had to put my dog to sleep about 6 monthes ago. Mine used to ride me with me too when I had my threewheelers. About two weeks ago, we had to put my moms horse to sleep. I am almost 2 years older than it was, and I just turned 21, and weve had it its whole life.

i was just wondering if anyone else had to put their dog to sleep? mine just went down today and it sucks. he used to like to go riding with me and would actually lean with me when i would turn or stop. he was a great dog and i think it is going to suck without him. i have a pic of him on my pic page (he is the small furry one). later.

thanks for the replies. it is comforting knowing that i'm not the only one who has had to go through this crap. i try to tell myself that he is better off now, but that doesn't seem to work. and everytime i think of the good times we had it just makes me miss him more. i don't think i will ever get another dog, or pet for that matter. it's going to be tough, but i am told that time heals all wounds. i hope their right. later. and thanks again for the replies, they help.

ftwflh, man I feel sorry for ya. it sucks having to watch them inject the fluids and to see your dog just slowly lay down and not respond when you pet him. they say it's the best way for them to go, but that don't make it any easier. i wish there was some way to prepare ya for it, but i don't think there is. i was told a day before, that they would be putting my dog down and i think that made it worse. the night before was the worst night of my life. just knowing that the next day your dog was going to die. man, i feel for ya.

i feel for everyone who has had or is close to having their dog put to sleep. i used to think (as a kid) that people were over-reacting when their dogs got put to sleep, but now i know first hand. it is a whole new world of pain when you have to watch your dog pass away right in front of your eyes. man, it's terrible.

Last year after 15 years of love and friendship I held my dog Kasey in my hands while the vet let her to sleep. Still get choked up. Like Chet says, thank goodness for puppies.

Sorry to hear about your loss. After 15 years, had to put mine down. Only comfort was knowing he wasn't in pain anymore. Anyone that has had a pet and had to do this too, feels your pain.

Man, I'm sorry to hear about that. I love dogs, and it's very heart wrenching for me to hear of other people losing thier pups, or to even think about losing mine again. The best way to deal is to get another puppy, and not replace him, but continue his legacy. Remember, all dogs go to heaven! Unlimited bones, hydrants, cats to chase, legs to hump, whatever!!! Again, Sorry

omg, that sucks so bad Im sorry man and I know how you feel.. A couple of years ago i was playing in the front yard with my dog and the ball went over the fence so he still ran to go get it.. And yup it went in the middle of the street and i had too look at a car smack right at him.. and then watch him lay there motionless .....
But now i have Toby but will always miss that dog.. It was a 4 year old german shepard and his name was buddy BR>
Toby feels bad too

sorry to hear it man. My dad has had his dog for 12 years and he is the most loyal dog I've ever seen. My dad has gone through depression in the past, and know he will be absolutely devastated when this dog dies, and about 50 other family members too (most famous dog ever). he (the dog) is getting old and losing awareness, etc, and it's gonna suck so bad when he dies. I feel another depression coming on. I have lost 6 dogs in my past, very depressing. My dad, basically doesn't leave his room for couple days, actually takes time off work. I know what you're going through.

Sorry to hear it Jaybird...My dog Kobe died last year from a sudden attack of seizures..he was only 2 1/2 years old...I got so attached to him..its just like losing a family member...I also still get choked up talking about him....I think I' ready for another dog now though....I love dogs, I had a chow chow for 17 years! I grew up with that dog and when he passed it was the hardest thing in the world...I got home from school one day and nobody was home...I heard my dog yelping and went to see what was wrong with him...as soon as I got down and held him he died...it was tough, but I just always think about the great memories I had with my dogs and I feel better..

my daughter got a miniture dashound over a year ago, i couldn't stand that ugly little thing. but for some reason dogs seem to like me, hope i don't smeel like one? any way i became attached to the pooch. when i would come home after work he would run to the end of the drive and ride with me to the house, he liked to ride with me when i mowed the yard or pasture, even when i would scold him for something he would still climb up in my lap at just stare at me like he was saying he was sorry. two months ago i went home for lunch and as usual when i left i picked him up and petted him for a few minutes. that evening when i was on my way home my wife called and said she had ran over him. i have had chronic back pain for the last four years and i don't know why but that little pooch named rocky seemed to help make me feel better. i was the about the saddest day of my life when i had to bury him in the back yard. it's been two months and it may be retarded but i still get depressed when i think about him. whe have a little female dashound and for the first two or three weeks she would just set in the back yard looking for him to come home. she would bark and wait to she if she could hear him, it was sad to watch her. my daughter has gotten another dog now but i don't want to become attached to it. it's just like the rest of them though, it follows me around and sets by me when i'm doing something wanting me to play with it. i would never be mean to it but i just can't seem to let myself become attached. i know what your feeling and it's hard for some people to understand the pain this can cause until they have one of the loylest friends to walk the earth. when you find the right dog they are like your best friend. they will allways be there for you and never hold a grudge or get angry at you because you didn't include them in something but instead will just wait patiently until you give you attention to them. my feelings go out to you too!
