I am so sorry to hear about this :bigcry: Times like this are never easy, but at least he is in a better place. You're in our thoughts and hearts :heart:

I had Max, my Schnauzer, for 2 weeks shy of his 17th birthday when I had to make the decision to end his life. It's been 4 years now, and I still think of him. I feel so blessed that he was a major part of my life and family for so many years!

I hope Woody and Max are playing together at God's side right now...

Glad to hear you're doing alright Emma. Hang in there. I've been through similar situations a few times, and while it's not easy, there comes a point when you have to make the tough decisions and do the right thing for your beloved pal. May Woody rest in peace and enjoy doggie heaven.

Oh that's so sad, feel for you

I'm so, so, so sorry. Putting your dog down is the hardest choice to make. We stayed in the room with our Boo when she had to go. It really appears that they feel nothing. (((HUGS)))

I just teared up reading this... I had my pup for 15.5 years from the time I was only 2 months old and when I was 16 we had to put her down (tumor on her spine, blind, deaf, arthritis..) she was my best friend as a shy little kid.. she did everything with me.. even came in the bathroom to guard me as I showered We had her cremated .. the 1st year without her we went on our vaca to the shore and took her ashes with us.. since she always came along. I am so so sorry for your loss and I wish you well I don't know if you believe in heaven but read this poem.. even tho it makes me cry it does help

POEM - hope this helps

There is a bridge connecting Heaven and Earth....a place called Rainbow Bridge.

When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge.
There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together.
There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.

All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by.
The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.

You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.

Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm so sorry we had to put down our 15 year old mutt last week it was so hard to do but it is quick and painless and once it is over you know they are no longer suffering and to me that is more important than having them for the the couple more weeks that they could hang on in pain. My thoughts are with you
