Ever have to put a pet to sleep?

[bouncer]

Send her to 'The Satanic goat slayer' he'll look after your cat real good.

But really, I know how hard it is. I was told my dog had to be put to sleep a few years back. But as we had her for 18 year's, all through my childhood, we could'nt do it. We kept the poor creature through all her pain and discomfort for another few months untill she died one night in her sleep. But it was the cruelist thing we could have done, follow the vets advice please.

I was up late last night...and got up early this morning and took my cat to the vet. When I came home I took my 2 boys (dobe and blue healer) out in the back yard and played with them for an hour...and just loved on them as much as possible. My dobe is 11 and is getting older and is even getting grey hair and joint problems. Glad I have my little Jordan though...he is young and wirey.....I love to see the youth and carelessness in him.

Being a strong Christian...I have mixed beliefs...but I do believe that my kids will go to heaven and I will see them again someday. They have to. I figure that every innocent creature on this earth...especially the ones that I love...have to go to heaven...or atleast a place where I will see them again and get to hug on them all the time. Any thoughts?

I didn't even want to know what was wrong with her. They just said that they couldn't do anything for her...and she was in pain and was going to die. I just remember picking her up this morning...with a towel around her...holding her all the way to the vet...her in my lap looking up at me with those green eyes...driving along the back roads of Kentucky in my Suburban.

To think that that last hug I gave her at the vet...was the last I'll ever give her. My baby girl.

Holy Cow, I feel for you my friend. You got me all choked up here at work. People witll think I'm losing it. LOL. That is such a sad story. I have a dog that is a little over a year old. She was recued by my wife out in the country. She is like a spoiled damn kid to us. We spend our free time taking her to the leashless dog park. I can imagine how you feel. Just know that she is in a better place and that she will jump up in your lap when you're least expecting it in heaven....

I had to flush one of my fish's the other day. Man, I really miss that stupid fish and his stupid puckered lips.....(sniff,sniff) Sorry, I had to add some humor to this thread. It really sucks. I've had to put down a couple of dogs in the past.

She was my first pet. My family called the vet back. With her being 12...13 next month...ahhhhh.

her blood sugar was nearly 600 and normal for a cat was 200. Kidneys failed, no urine, etc.....

Thanks guys...and thanks for the card you emailed me...burst into tears when I read that. Thanks

When I was just a little guy, I had a doberman named Sampson. He was like my best friend, he gave me horse back rides when I was real little, and when I used to walk home from elementary he would run down the street when he saw me come around the corner , and walk with me the rest of the way. (My mom was at home and would let him out) He would also sleep right underneath my window (to protect me I think, or maybe the grass was just more comfortable there). Had to put him to sleep a couple of years ago. That was almost the saddest I have ever been in my whole life. well, good luck

When I was about 8 two of my dogs that stayed outside got into our house and ended up killing my cat that had been around before I was born so I grew up with him. Messed me up pretty bad seeing him gasping for air on the ground covered in saliva. Then about four years ago my parents had to put our 10 yr old dog to sleep b/c of cancer. He couldn't even get his hind legs up when he walked. It's amazing how much animals can mean to humans

damn, b fold. You can't get me all emotional, I'm at work.
I had a dalmation (Dice) for 8 years. He was more than a pet, he was a true member of the family. Words cannot describe this dog. His health was failing and there was little anyone could do. So my sister had it done. I live 2 hours away so all i got was a phone call. I hate to say this, but I cried harder and longer that night than I have at anyone's funeral.
