Sorry to hear that man. My condolences.

It's always tough to put down a pet. It's losing one of the family. ~

Our dogs had puppies, mom shepherd/pit mix, dad pit mastiff mix. Anyway she had 9 by the time they were weaned and we took 5 to the humane society 3 of them couldn't even stand up. They had a degenerative spine disease. Out of 9 a third of them got put down. Wasn't super attached to them but it was still rough. Like putting a 2 month old baby down. Was sad.

I'm sorry for your loss. I know losing pets (really, friends) hurts. They do become your family.

No I have not but I had a dog die on me last year my dog died. He was over 19 years old in people years and this week my friend had two kitten die on him I had to dig a grave for his kittens .And also I had two dig a grave for my dog I got another dog but it still hurt.Where I was living there a mean old lady that had the dog and she mistreated him so one night I stole him off of her

True friend. :/

I've never had to put my pet to sleep, not on my own. But I have come home after a weekend vacation with my mom to find my pet cat dead on the floor. =( I was too upset to attend her burial.

yes

My best friend "Pokey"Attachment 291750 tried in vain to save him (15 yrs) but to no avail. One of the reasons I started cultivating. Both suffering ailments that modern medicine doesn't acknowledge. 2.5 years prior he was very ill, not eating. Took him to a vet (hate veterinary medicine cuz they prey on your sensitivity) where he was treated with antibiotics & told to take him home to die. We started to partake (he would sit on the ottoman while I on the rocker & get a grove on) & he developed an appetite, bounced back! Not this time, just passed 3 months prior. Cried like a little school girl.
