First, congratulations on your recent SITS day. I am new, and you are my first visit. I am quite glad to have joined!
More importantly, I am so sorry for the loss of your dog. I, also, stepped in and played God to my sweet Shih Tzu Buddy about a year ago. It was one of the hardest decisions to make. I ache for your loss, as I remember mine. I hope that now, a few weeks later, you are feeling peace that you made the right decision. Thank you, thank you, for sharing your story.

I’m so sorry for the decision you had to make. We made the same one about 2 1/2 years for my boyfriend’s dog. It was awful, but we knew it was the right decision.

I got a puppy last year at this time and even now I cry for the day when I will have to let her go.

My deepest sympathy. Hugs.

I’m so sorry about Snickers. I’m about to have to do the same thing with my dog. He’s 10 but that is the top of his life span for a dog his breed and size. He’s regressing to puppylike behavior, and not the good kind, chewing, accidents, etc. It’s terrible, the kids, who never play with him, I know will be devastated. He is such a great dog, he was my first baby! I feel for you and your family and hope I have your strength!

This brought tears to my eyes. I have had pets my whole life and recently my parents pug, Jesse – 12 years old – passed away. He was fine, then over the course of 2 days his life changed, he couldn’t breath easy and he ended up passing away in my dad’s arms at 5:45 am. After a long day before at the ER, a cardiologist and having to have an oxygen mask. We love our pets. I have a pug and a pot bellied pig. Being in the position you were in is the hardest. I’m sorry you had to go through that.

Oh I’m sorry you had to do that. I’ve never had to make such a decision yet although I helped my neighbor to make it through it. It was awful. I hope you are already feeling better about it.

Happy SITS day!
It’s hard when our pets become our family…even if we don’t like ‘em…we still love ‘em.

Making the decision to take you pet in is so tough. They become part of your family before you know it. My husband made a comment the other day that he couldn’t believe what a “dog person” he had become after meeting me as I have two beagles. Snickers is in a better place and lived a wonderful life.
