So very sorry.... Been there.. You did the right thing.. That's why it was hard.. Will pray for your kids to accept and have peace..
Sorry for the loss if a family member. I know the feeling. Someone said to me once that when in this situation, they were asked are you keeping them alive for you or for them? Puts things in perspective and know that you did what was right for Dakota while being so difficult for you and the family. Like Will and others here, this brought tears to my eyes as it brings me right back to 3 friends that I lost over a 5 year period. All of age related issues, but still not easy.
Oh boy !! ya got me all choked up here , I'm so very sorry your family lost your buddy . You did the right thing for him. RIP Dakota
Good looking pup that had a great life no doubt - the good times is where you should focus your memory A day like that at the vet has to be the worst, my condolences. Dakota is chasing squirrels and chipmunks pain free...
Sorry for your your loss. Been there more times than I care to remember. Just keep in mind all of the good times you had together and know he is not in pain.
So sorry for your loss. Tearing up reading your story. I'm sure Dakota is romping around with my girl Cheyenne over that rainbow bridge.
So very sorry. I'm sure it's not easy now but hopefully all the great memories of your pal will ease your loss.
Very sorry about your loss. Growing up, all of my dogs were labs - he reminds me of my old dog Murdock. My little buddy Otis has been sick lately too, and I fear I might soon be in your situation. We got a rather expensive surgery for him 4 months ago, and it's now come undone and there isn't anything else the doctor could do for him. So we're just trying to manage his condition right now.
Thank you all for the outpouring of support. A week later and it still hurts. Our other dog Tucker, a Havanese, is lost without his buddy. I'm keeping a close eye on him. Tucker is 8 years old.
It took our Rat Terrier about 6 to 8 months to seem normal after our Aussie died......he was just lost without his buddy.
I'm so sorry for your loss. RIP Dakota. It's always tough. I usually read every post in a thread, but I can't do it now. It's just too much.
