Hardest descion I've ever made :(

Hes going to be buried at my farm next to his best friend KC who passed a few years ago. He will be able to run thru the fields and chase everything that moves. As I am reading all of these messages I started to think back on his life and the things he has done. I will never forget when he was a puppy, he was about the size of my hand. When I would go to school he would go in the cage. When I would get home he would be out. We never could figure out how that little guy would get out. We decided to tie his cage shut with rope thinking maybe he figured out how to get the latch open. The next day, I came home from school and he was out with all the rope pulled off the cage. Not one single piece of the rope was chewed on. It was almost like he took the knot out and opened the cage. We did this about 3 different times and still that same result. He was a little shit head, but I wouldn't change it for anything. Still to this day we never figured out how he managed to open his cage. After that we pushed the cage against the wall so the door would open. That was the only way we could keep the little guy in there. That was one of about a thousand things that he has done in his life that I will never forget. Anyways enough reminiscing, I thank everyone for there prays and kind words. 2maro is going to be a hard day.

 

sorry to hear he will be in a much better place

 

Yup that reminds me of when my dog was about 5 years old I would get home from school and there would be anywhere between 2-5 pheasants running around in my house, she would always catch any kind of bird she could and bring them into the house alive.

 

Its going to be the longest night I've had in a while. Thanks again to everyone!

 

For a couple nights after we put our dog down I would wake up in the middle of the night from her barking to go to the batrhroom, I would wake up go to the living room and nothing was there then I remembered she was gone and I was just hearing things...by far the hardest thing ive ever gone through...just know that you gave him the best life he could live, sounds like he is a very lucky and loved dog.

 

He was spoiled rotten, he had a great life, I dont regret anything.

 

Sounds like Lotus was a heck of a dog and a great friend. You were very lucky to have him. Remember....every dog goes to heaven.

 

x2.....

 

So sorry to hear

It's a hard decision to make, but sounds like the right one.

 

sorry man..........

 

Had to do this a month ago. It sucked but it will get better. I'm sorry for your loss man. I know how hard it is.

 

Sorry brother. He will always be remembered by u and those who knew him. Dogs are our best buds

 

Me too, Paula my best friend, black lab 12 yrs, bone cancer.


House is quiet

 

Sorry for what your going thru, I put down my 8 year old german shepherd, samson, back in february and know exactly how you feel. Your doing the right thing though for sure. Look up Rudyard Kipling, Four-feet, my girlfriend gave me this and it really made me feel better, actually ill post it for ya......

Four-Feet

I have done mostly what most men do,
And pushed it out of my mind;
But I can't forget, if I wanted to,
Four-Feet trotting behind.

Day after day, the whole day through --
Wherever my road inclined --
Four-feet said, "I am coming with you!"
And trotted along behind.

Now I must go by some other round, --
Which I shall never find --
Somewhere that does not carry the sound
Of Four-Feet trotting behind.

Rudyard Kipling

goodluck brother

Your doin the right thing, the hardest thing to do is let those go we love, but it shows how much you really care.

 

Sorry to hear it man.

 

Went to the Vet this morning and they said he probably had kidney failure and offered to do test. I declined the test as I knew his time was up. We said our good byes and now he is in a better place. Thank you all for you comments, they have been appriciated!

 

that has got to be tough, I give you props for sticking to your guns, and knowing in your gut that you knew it was Lotus' time. Hang in there. To all good dogs past present and future

You'll always have those memories of a wonderful 16 years.

I've lost my first cat as a child 14 years ago and I always remember him. I watched him suffer for a few days and watching him pass was one of the hardest things to do. It was the best thing, however the hardest thing.

I then lost my first dog 4 years ago and that was real hard.

I have 2 dogs now and I can't imagine losing them but its life and you learn to remember the good times. They'll always love you and love the time you've both shared.

R.I.P
