So sad.  

Dali, my beloved Australian Shepherd, had to be put down yesterday.  She had developed thyroid problems, went blind, lost 1/2 of her weight, lost control of her bladder... all at less than 9 years old.  And when the thyroid problems hit, she went downhill rapidly.  

I have never had a dog this long, tho my daughter does have a 13 year old Sheltie (doesn't live with me).  

I cried more at the vet yesterday than I did at my cousin's funeral 2 weeks ago.  

I'm sorry to hear that. It's always hard losing our little buddies. You did the right thing ending her pain as sad as it is. :-(

Sos sorry for you, man. 

Sorry to hear man. I know the feeling. 

Sorry to hear that. We lost our German Shepherd a similar way when he was just 7

Condolences, SC. They are never "just pets". After I lost my last one, I threw in the towel. It just hurts too much to lose them every 12-15 years. I cried almost as much losing my last dog as I did when I lost my mom believe it or not. It's a horrible feeling, I know. Not to mention, every trip to the Vet is like $500+ when they are sick. :(

Sorry to hear that S_C.

I'm like Danny, I cried as much when my dog died as I did when my mom did.

I still have the 'final' bill from the vet tucked up in the sun visor of my truck, it's been there ever since the day she died at the vets office. We brought her ashes with us when we moved.

Sorry to hear that Maurice.

  Thats tough, sorry to hear it...   

feel better..

Sorry space cowboy ... Love is love and it hurts when a loved one dies .... I have cried like a baby over several lost pets 

Condolences
