Well I'm feeling depressed today. This morning I had to put my dog down of 15 years. He's grown up with me. He was suffering from dementia. I just have the memory of his last breath imbeded in my mind right now. Anyone care to share their experiences putting a loved animal down?

Thats awful im sorry to hear.. i cant imagine doing that to my puppy molson.. Ive never personally put a dog down.. but when i was little.. my grandma lived ona farm and she had a german sheppard Mikey.. and him and i were close.. like we'd cuddle and everything (sounds lame but i loved him) .. he was there before i was born.. and i think when i was around 8 or 9... i didnt go to my grandmas farm for about 2 weeks.. dunno why.. but i remember me talking about mikey and how much i missed him and my dad just said out of no where "oh yeah mikey died last week"... and i was like and i just started bawling.. i was like that for a long time.. and i was so mad at my dad for not telling me.. its like losing your best friend.. its hard...

I'm sorry, Amanda. I haven't done it myself - my wife has always gone to the vet for me.

Hey, Amanda, I'm so sorry. I can understand how you feel, especially since you had him for 15 years! I've never had to go through with it before, but I can understand what it's like, and I'm very sorry.

In reply to: "oh yeah mikey died last week" beeeep

Thanks everyone for your support. I'm still having a rough time. He was pretty much my dog...slept on my bed with me, etc. I have a pretty rotten family life, and he was always there for me to cry on and never judged me. I never thought I'd take it this hard.

I'm sorry Amanda. I've gone through it too. There's noting easy about it. I bawled my eyes out. It's really hard.

I remember my dad flushed my favorite gold fish down the toilet...I cried 4 times about it. Then my rabbit Cinnamon died...it was my first mammal. I remember it died from Malnutrition..it wouldn't eat. My dad threw it in the trash can. I cried for 3 days...lol Now I don't cry no more because I realized Death And Life Is totally random and it has to happen.
