I had to put my 12 year old Beagle "Daisey" to sleep today. She was throwing up blood, and when we took her to the vet they said she had a very low red blood cell count and in-operable tumors in her stomach. I'll sure miss her. That was the most difficult thing I've ever done, and I hope I never have to do it again.
 
I am sorry for you loss. Its hard losing a pet (family member), I have lost a few in my life. Keep your head up and stay positive.
 
Sad day, and a hard decision to make, but it's the one last good thing we can do for them when the end comes, not to let the pain go on any longer. You know you have our sympathy and Daisey is at peace.
 
When I was a kid I used to laugh at people who got too attached to their pets... Until I was 22yrs and my dog died, I bawled and blubbered like a baby. Pets can and do become such an important part of our families it's incredible. My thoughts are with you my friend...

You can hate my wife and you can cuss my kids... But don't you talk crap about my dog!

I've held a couple of my cats in my arms as they took their last breath. The death of a good pet is never easy. Time will make your pain lessen alittle but Daisey will always be in your heart. You are not alone in your sadness.
 
I definitely feel for you, and am sorry for your loss. The best thing about my summer vacation is having some time to spend with my dogs. Reading this thread is making me tear up a little bit.

I put down my 13 year-old Tibetian Terrier "Gracie" down in 2002. I cried the entire day, and have never found it in my heart to have another dog. I will never do it again.
 
I am very sorry for your loss. Remember all the great things that you and your dog shared. We are always so sad when our pets go, but don't let that overshadow all the years of happiness.
 
Smoke and prayers sent for Daisey. She'll be waiting for you to rejoin her.

Sending smoke. The greatest cost of having a pet is that all too often we out live them. After all the dogs and cats that became part of the family here over the years, their passing is the most difficult thing.
 
Thanks for all the kind words everyone, it has helped. At this point, I'm with CARRERA50. I don't think I ever want t go through that again. Maybe some day, but not right now.

My Mom is the same way. When she put down her ancient mini poodles, she said she had put down too many dogs and just couldn't do it any more. I can't really blame her.

There isn't any need to jump right back into it. If your meant to have a dog, though, it will find you whether you're looking or not! All of my dogs have "fallen into my lap" so to speak.
 
I am deeply sorry for your loss. I hope this poem helps, as it has helped me in the past with the passing of a beloved pet.
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm very sorry to hear that.
My dog, Hector is almost 13 years old. 2 hours ago I discovered that one eye isn't looking straight anymore. So he either had a stroke (symptoms don't indicate that) or he has a tumor (most likely) which means I'll have to say goodbye to him soon. :(
I'm really really close to my dog, I love him so much. This is so terrible. I'm not sure how to handle this.
I only know that I won't let him go through any operation or even chemotherapy. I had one myself and swore to never ever do that to a dog.
 
I'm so very sorry to hear about Hector. It is a terrible thing to go through, you're absolutely right. It was the saddest thing I've ever had to do or deal with. I'm sure his comfort is your top priority right now, and I'm sure you'll make the right decision, my prayers are with you, friend. Best wishes.
