Ever have to put a pet to sleep?

[MP5]

Just put my dog to sleep about 2.5 months ago. I still miss her, had her 15 years. I also had to put my cat to sleep once after only having her for 12 years, they were both my little buddies.

B Fold, Sorry to hear about your recent loss. Last July I had to put down my Boston Terrier named Spunky that was 16 years old. I got her when she was 4 weeks old and could fit in the palm of your hand from head to tail. Her health was failing and it was the best thing to do for her. I'll tell you one thing tho, that was the hardest thing I have ever done in my entire life! I felt like a puss, a 26 year old guy being in the vets office crying like a baby as they put Spunky to sleep in my arms. I tried to make her feel as comfortable as possible on the way out, but let me tell you it was heart breaking! I could feel the moment when Spunky's heart stop beating as I held her in my arms and the drugs started to overdose her. Just think of it like this - Your animal will be in a better place waiting for you to get there. Good luck! PEACE

Just got back from the vet. Took my 12 year old cat. I get back from vacation and find out that she was sick while I was gone. I take her to the vet this morning and they find several knots all around her abdomen...like 10 or more of them. They kept her for tests and I am supposed to go and check on her tomorrow...and they said that it would probably be best to put her to sleep. She's been my baby since she was a kitten....found her on a beach in Florida.

Just wondering if anyone else on here has ever had to put down a pet that was like a child of yours...

I grew up with our poodle, she was such a pretty little dog. We had to put her to sleep when she was 16, she had cancer. It broke my heart, it really broke my mom's heart.

No matter how strange all this seems...it is more difficult to lose my little girl that I thought. When I got home from work tonight I had to throw out her litter box completely. I then cleaned up the shelf where we kept her food and water bowl. All of my dogs just sat around and looked at me so confused with their big brown eyes. I just began to think about all of the times when she was being rotten and would make us carry her across the room and put her up on the shelf so that she could eat when we knew darn well that she could get up there herself. When I slept with a water gun because she'd bite me all night...and when she was soaking wet....she'd curl up around my chest to go to sleep. Or when she'd bite my ankles when I walked down the hall if her food bowl was empty...and when I'd spank her with the newspaper..she'd just sit there and bite harder.

I found her on Daytona Beach when I was 11..eating lizards and drinking pool water. She'd come to no one but me...so our last day there..I grabbed her and threw her in our van. Took her all the way home to Kentucky...and she's been my girl ever since. Daytona...my girl.

The first day that I ever brought my 110lb dobe home...she ran to the door to greet me...and stopped almost all the way when she saw Isaiah. She looked at him and he snarled at her a few times. She took one step fwd and just sat there and looked at him. No claws or anything...and had the bluff on him even this morning before I took her to the vet to be checked out.

When I was sick a few years ago and almost died...spent a long time in bed with no friends to call or come see me because of the way that I looked and they were afraid. Daytona rarely ever got out of bed with me...ever. She stayed with me and was my friend when no one else would be. I got sick the other day and was glad to come home to see her...she even crawled across my dobe and blue healer just to get up in the bed next to me...made me feel so good and loved. What will I do next time?

It was hard to erase her things tonight from my home. Hard to go to bed tonight. So much stress right now that it is unbelievable...but Tona always made it feel so much better. I miss you girl....you are in my heart and I'll see you again...sooner or later.

my thoughts are with you. I remember as a kid having 2 cats put down both were strays that my family took in. I have a 2 year old cat now that is the most fun animal u can imagine... such character... cats RULE! My parents latest cat is getting pretty old and she was sick a few months back... took her to the vets and some pills sorted her out... I thought she was gonna die but now she back to her usual self.

Hey although I love pets I hope animals don't go to heaven (or hell) because there's nothing better I like than to take to rifle out and blast off a few. Oh and I love to fish also.

I have had to shoot a few. When it's time it is time. Not going to let any animal suffer. And as far as Bambi, just put her in my sight. We will be having venison for supper.
