jvw Posted August 29, 2016 Report Share Posted August 29, 2016 Hugs to you Laura. Having gone thru the experience less than three months ago my heart breaks extra hard for you.

LauraV Posted August 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Thanks to you all. He is the most amazing dog. I just saw him dreaming and running in his sleep. Soon he will be pain free running again and that helps with this process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sue R Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 Debbie Crowder said it in words that have stuck with me - we do it because we love them that much. Â It is the last and most difficult gift we can give them. Bless you both. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D'Elle Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I'm so sorry, Laura. You know that I just went through this with Jester. It is the only bad part of loving dogs, that they do not live long enough. My thoughts are with you. It is heart rending to make this decision, yet when it is the right time to do it, it is the last loving gift that you make to your dog. I wish peace to you both, and will be thinking of you on Saturday..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm spending a lot of extra time with him before Saturday. I'm so nervous, but I know it is the right thing. But I'm happy he will be at peace in his bed, in his home. I love him so much. I saw him running in his sleep and knowing he will be able to run again when he gets to the bridge makes me smile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdawgs Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Having recently gone thru this, the decision-making process, anticipation, and aftermath were much worse than the actual event. My dog simply fell asleep while doing what she loved most-eating. I can say with complete certainty that she experienced no anxiety or fear--that burden was transferred to me.
