[QUOTE="Iamchris, post: 15323274, member: 21687"] I have been there, it may have been me who you read about? I sometimes tell the story when people are losing their pup. I had my last dog for 19 years and decided to put him down because he was having seizures too frequently. I was afraid that his quality of life was getting very low, and I didn't want him to die alone while I was working. I spent the entire day with him, had breakfast at the park, cooked him a meal, laid down and took a nap with him, got him an ice cream and finally took him to the vet appointment. He was dead tired at the end of the day and certainly seemed at peace. It didn't make it any easier for me. I kept his harness and ashes on my mantle, and a little paw print that they made for me. 19 years with a friend is a long time, I had gotten him when I was around 10 years old. It made having a dog very difficult. I wanted to get rid of my 6 month old Bull Terrier immediately, and I didn't want another. But the time you get with them is very special, hopefully you made the most of it. You will get a few good pets in your lifetime and you'll carry them with you after they are gone. Even though they are only here a short time, they are fortunate to have lived graced with a loving family, a warm home, good food and good memories. So be happy you had each other. My bully is 7 now, and I know I won't have him forever but I am lucky to have him now. So I make the best of it. You're going to feel pretty bad for a while, but eventually it will be a warm memory.
