I made an appointment for tomorrow...
to put my dog down
It will be a sad day, but I know it's for the best. She has been battling a brain tumor for the last 2 years and she has been having seizures a few times a week.
She will be getting a good steak dinner tonight. Poor thing. This is going to be much harder than I thought it would be.

Baby Macy is here!

Hugs to you. I'm sorry. I know how much it sucks. I thought I'd pass this along to you. Someone shared it with me when we put Lady down. I liked it so much I printed it out and put a picture of her in frame with it. Hope it helps a little.
To haveloved and then said farewell, is better than to have never loved at all.
For allthe times that you have stooped and touched my head, fed me my favorite treatand returned the love that I so unconditionally gave to you. For the care that you gave to me sounselfishly. For all of these things Iam grateful and thankful.
I askthat you not grieve for the loss, but rejoice in the fact that we lived, lovedand touched each others lives. My lifewas fuller because you were there, not as a master/owner, but as my FRIEND.
I can't imagine doing this. My heart breaks thinking about it. Your doggy lived a good life though, I'm sure, so you are doing the right thing taking him/her out of misery.
Hang in there. Tomorrow won't be easy. :hug:
Happily Married

Thanks for the kind words.
My puppy in now in heaven. The actual process of putting her down was pretty traumatic. She's really skittish and couldn't see well due to the tumor so she kind of freaked out. It was hard to watch, but without going into detail they had to choke her out with a leash until she passed out to get a muzzle on her. It was really sad to see her go out on suck a stressful note
Unfortunately, we couldn't find a baby sitter for Macy (and my dog is so unpredictable that they can't be in the car at the same time) so I had to go alone without my H. It was hard to do it without him there.
But I know she is in a much better place and finally at peace. And again, thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks for posting this. It helps keeps things in perspective. We had her cremated, so I think I might print out this and put it in her box with her remains.
How are you doing with the loss of your dog? And how is Miss Chilly? She is so cute!

I'm so sorry
As if it isn't hard enough, that must have been god awful to see. You are very strong for going alone, I absolutely would have sent H if it could only be one of us. I admire you. My mom put her 16 yr old cocker down yesterday, and she won't answer her phone (she lives in NY). All she will do is email because she can't talk without crying
( Sending love and hugs to both of you.
I know, I am kinda shocked that I wanted to go rather than sending him. For some reason, I wanted it to be me there for her final moments, as she has kind of become "my" dog. She loved Jason but she really had a fondness to me. Thankfully the initial shock of watching what went down at the vets office has worn off and I am starting to remember the better times with her. But I was an utter mess earlier today. My eyes are swollen from crying and I feel like I have been hit by a semi.
I am so sorry for the loss of your moms dog. It sucks and it is such a hard day of pet ownership. I knew it would be hard to put her down, but I didn't know it would be this hard! Obviously I don't know your mom, but I am sending her a big e-hug!
