i hope he is now...

[Dimitri]

finally able to run like the wind and play without fear or pain.

last Friday morning I had to take my dog on his last walk to the vet. the evening before I gave him pure beef cubes as a supper, walked him along his favorite path, played tug till he was tired. then in the morning he played with his favorite lab mix and then we walked to the vet. I truly dislike myself for having to do what I did to him. I held him in my arms as the vet gave him his medicine and the horrible sound that came from him still is etched into my head and memories and then his head dropped limb into my arms. later on that morning, i went to his favorite place at Cherry Beach and sat on a log trying to hold back the tears as the only thing I had left from my boy is a few hairs from his tail clinched into my arms. I tried hard to see him running like the wind, but that sound he made was still repeating in my mind. then a cool breeze just blew in from the lake and it was a calming serene feeling as if everything was going to be fine. i looked up and asked if I could only see him one more time and then out of what (I thought was nowhere a female rottweiler came up to me. i could almost swear she had his exact face and smile. I didn't go home for 48 hours afterwards, because i didn't want to see his pillow bed and toys littering the floor. all the ups and downs, from heartaches to bitter sweet joy. i wish to one day unite with him.

*sniff* I am so sorry. We're all here for you. I can't imagine how hard that is for you.

[poohbearsmom]

It's perfectly natural to feel horribly right now. Your loss is real and so are your emotions.

Please know that you did the right thing for your boy. I've been in this same predicament myself, so I do understand your torment right now.

When you're ready, you'll have another companion with a great temperament. For me, that's when things really sunk in. A happy dog is a joy to live with. An unhappy dog is a constant struggle, emotionally draining and a constant liability.
Once I reall saw the difference, it was easier for me to swallow. I still miss her terribly, she was my 'heart' dog, and in my life when I needed that the most, but I know I did the right thing by her.

You know that one cannot train away temperament. Your boy was very lucky to have a master as selfless as you.

My thoughts are with you, I'm so sorry for your loss.

Godspeed Mr. D

I'm so sorry for your loss - I know how you feel. I recently put down my 17 year old poodle. My thoughts are with you!

[Gunsey'sMom]

I am so sorry. You have truly sacrificed your own feelings for what was best for your guy. What a truly courageous act. I remember you going through heartache about this decision for awhile now.

Your guy is waiting for you at the Bridge, free and whole!

God Bless....

[brunie's mom]

Oh..I am sorry to hear the news.
You know that you did the right thing for him, and for others that had to live around him.

It is so hard, and draining to live with a dog that has huge problems. Thank-you for being so selfless.

He's at the Rainbow Bridge with all of the other rotties we have lost, and having a ball right now.

I am so sorry, so very sorry. It takes a special person to have the selfless courage to do what you had to do.

[livertw]

I am so sorry for your loss. I can feel your heartbreak through your words.

[Mojave's Mom]

Your boy will forever be thankful- you gave him love all the way to the end, even when it meant breaking your own heart to spare him. Your courage and selflessness is admirable and I am so very sorry for your loss. He will be with you forever, until both sets of eyes meet again.

I am so very sorry for your loss. As hard of a decision that was to make, you made the right choice by releasing your baby of his demons. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I'm so sorry to hear this, and to know how much pain you are in. You did the most selfless thing you will ever do, and he will love you forever for it. Free of his demons, he can be your Rottie angel now, and guide you to another companion when you are ready.
