Even though we don't get along at times on the forum, I feel for you Ken on this one. That just totally sucks. Putting down a beloved pet is an awful feeling. I've gone through it too many times, and totally hate it. Sorry for your loss.
Yeah, we just can't do it anymore. No more dogs for us. We'll just play with neighbor's and relative's dogs. Just too sad. After 10-15 years they are like family.
I view the heartache of losing a dog as my payment for the years of joy they brought to my life. I am sorry for your loss Ken.
Sorry to read, enjoy the pictures and memories. I still look at pictures of our Goldens, miss those ding dongs.
