Neighbor just put their dog of a gazillion years down.

Can you help me figure best way to be supportive and remind me of what to say/not say?  We had to do this a few years ago x2 but I think I blocked it out.  I also fear putting my foot in my mouth.

What gesture could I make that would be appreciated? 

We are meeting at the curb for wine.  (we often meet outside our houses to bs and such - (such = drink)).

  • I'd just let them know you're very sorry and let them talk about her if they need to.

    We normally donate to a rescue when a friend's dog dies.  When our friend's golden died we donated to golden retriever rescue, etc.

  • I like the idea of the donation.  They had beagles so this might be a nice idea.  I swear my recollection seems like a lifetime ago and a big fuzz - almost like the twilight zone. 
  • A donation would definitely be nice. One of my friends had to put down his dog of 12 years, and was beyond heartbroken. His inlaws got pics of his dog Duesenberg and had a portrait painted, and gave it to him at Christmas. He appreciated the gift, but would have preferred they waited a year to give it to him, because it made him break down into the ugly cry in front of the entire family at Christmas. :(
