A hard day for me.

[Recusant]

After a month-long illness, my buddy Axel lost his battle today to cancer. His condition had deteriorated and had greatly diminished his quality of life. I felt compelled to make the agonizing decision to put him down. Instead of taking him to the vet which would have been difficult because he could no longer jump up into the car, and not wanting to traumatize him by forcing the issue I called a mobile vet. Please know that he passed peacefully in my arms with dignity in his own home that he had happily known for almost 11 years. All of the neighbors loved him, and he made friends every place he went. He will live on in my memory and in my heart forever.

Sorry for your loss. Try to remember all the good times you had together. At first it's very hard but as time goes on it will become better. Dogs hold a special place in our hearts and Axel will always be in yours. Again so sorry for you loss.

Sorry to hear this, but I know how it feels, years ago we got a kitten that couldn’t have been more then 3-4 weeks old, her mom got killed. The vet didn’t give her to much of a chance, but we didn’t give up on her, when she was fully grown she weighed almost 12 pounds, long way from her being the runt kitten. After 9 years she developed a serious heart issue, which turned out to be an enlarged heart, we always wondered why she got winded when she was playing, we found out why then, she got real bad, couldn’t hardly breath, not eating and just laying around. The vet said there was nothing that could be done and it would be more humane to put here to sleep instead of letting her suffer, so Recusant I really know how you feel, take care and like other said, Axel will live long in your memories.

Sorry Recusant, I lost one of my boys last week...this pain we feel is the true price of a dog's love we enjoy while they are with us.

Damn. Sorry to hear this. It’s always a hard decision to make but it’s always the right one. You were there for him in the end and his last memory will be of you holding him.

My kids were very sad when Falco had died (about 5 years ago). He was about 10 and the kids hasn't wanted another family member until last year. Sorry for your loss!

My condolences buddy. After my last two I decided no more dogs. I miss them and I miss having a dog, but I just don't have it in me to lose another one.

 

[KillerFord1977]

Condolences as well .
God bless you and your family

 

[Pitdogg2]

My condolences

I’m so sorry for the loss of your lovely companion, Axel. He clearly had a charmed life. I lost all three of my dogs over the last two years. I still see them staring at me from a doorway or down the hallway. One day at a time, my friend.

Very Sorry for your Loss

My condolences to you in the loss of your companion. I also feel your pain because I lost my Jack Russel , Joe , in November, 2020. Had he lived another 5 months , he would have been 14 years old.

Several friends and family members told me I should get another dog. Alas , I will never own another simply because I no longer am able to train one the way I would want .

They only ask us to give them love , food , and water and give so much more in return.

 

[SaltyMonkey]

So sorry for your loss.

So sorry for your loss. I have been there too many times myself making that decision. I just try to remember the good times and I know they had a good life. Again sorry for your loss....
