She's been having hip trouble, testing today shows not only arthritis, but cancer. So glad I have always spent time with her, and so sorry to hear this news. She is such a good dog, and has added so much to our lives.

It was very peaceful. The vet office put us in a small room with cloth furniture, and brought our girl in. They brought a nice think blanket for her to lie on and let us take our time to say goodbye. So hard. She had a port in her leg, and the vet put the drug in thru the port. It was the easiest passing I've seen. She's over the bridge and hope she remembers the others who loved her, who will be glad to see her.

Thank you for the support in this sudden awful moment.

They can bring us so much pure joy.

6. Never long enough

She was a rescue, washed out of a training program. Big baby is afraid of fireworks and other loud noises. Her people were going to get her started on a new kind of med for arthritis today. She's been so healthy except for soreness that was getting more frequent. She loves to run, and patrolled her perimeter each time she went out. Wildlife fears and respects her. She has never caught anything, but she makes sure they exercise when she is out.

5. Animals give us SO much!

It's always hard to lose one. Sending good thoughts and wishes your way.

8. Owning a pet is tough duty but you did the right thing even though it hurts

When my lab bothers me for walks, play time, food, or hops up on my bed I
always think that sometime in the future I would give anything for just 30
seconds w/her. I hope she lives on in you and your family’s hearts 💞.

10. Sending you thoughts of love and solace, Marthe48.

Take a deep breath (or 1300), and know that she's watching from Overhead. Sounds like the way our Goldie finally went. Peacefully with us there and the lights low and the room to ourselves and soft music playing from somewhere. It IS hard. MISERABLY hard. But brief, and you console yourself with thoughts that your little sweetheart is at peace and no longer in pain, and that you may be able to get over it eventually. All that stuff. I think lots of us have known that pain. So you have comfort coming your way from MANY - here and elsewhere in your life.

One of the things that unites us all. Sad as it is.

11. Zooka was euthanized less than a month ago

She also had hip dysplasia. The day after we said goodbye I adopted Bunji from the shelter. Very happy with that decision.

24. So very sorry for your loss as well. May you and .Bunji have many years

of love and joy.

12. Nothing better than a good doggie.

RIP to your friend.

13. Aw, sorry for your loss

You did the right thing, But I know how hard it is when they pass. You loved and cared for her and gave her a good life. Likewise, she gave you the gift of joy and heartfelt companionship, for the time she was in your life.

Imagine her now having a wondrous reunion with those who are waiting for her, over the rainbow bridge.

14. They ask for so little, and give so much!

Sorry for your loss. But it sounds like she had a good, full life, and was well-loved. You did well.

[AltairIV]

15. So very sorry for your loss.

16. I'm sorry for your loss.

The price we pay for the love pets give us is that their lives are so much shorter than ours and it's painful when one dies.

It's well worth the cost but the cost is significant.

[Marthe48]

17. I haven't had my own dog since 2004

I think the price was too high

[TomSlick]

18. I go through the calculation with the death of each pet.

There will surely come a time when I can no longer bear the cost.

[Marthe48]

19. I have a 19 or 20 year old cat

If fate allows, I'll take a break when she's gone, and then decide what is next. Most of the pets we have had came to us as strays or other routes. If the next pet doesn't come to me, maybe I'll go looking :/

[Marthe48]

20. Today is National Pet Day

Hope we can celebrate the pets we have, even if we had to say goodbye to others.

[niyad]

23. Thank you for that. My little one is sleeping right next to me as I

write this.

21. Big Hugs

It never gets easy. May your pup rest in peace.

[niyad]

22. Lady of the Beasts, please take Your little one gently home in Your

loving arms, and send peace and comfort to her grieving loved ones.

I am so very sorry for the loss of your precious girl. So glad that you could all be there with her. Your DU family grieves with you.
