I just made an appointment to have our dog put down next week.

The reasons are valid, but I feel sick -- like I've just made a date with the executioner.

Sorry to dump this on all of you here, but this isn't Facebook material. :-(

I'm so sorry. I did the same with Traddles, and it was awful awful awful. I condole.

Thank you. We did it last Thursday, and it was awful, but it really helped knowing that you & others knew how I felt.

"sighs" Been there too many times - and it never gets any easier. But you've done the right thing for your old friend, and that's the important part.

I so understand, having done this both for Merlin and Spanky. It's the hardest thing that we do for our companions. It's an act of love and mercy, but it's a terrible thing to have to do. Terrible. I'm so sorry.

Thank you. It was awful, and I miss her a lot, but I think it was the right thing.

Another one who has been there. It's a part of the responsibility of owning a dog, but it feels horrible. *squish*

Thank you. It was really hard -- but I'm glad it's done.
