I know how hard it was to decide to put your dog down, but you did it. I've been using the cost as an excuse to keep mine alive, but now have the opportunity to put him out of his misery for free and I'm having a really hard time with it. All I need to do is say "ok" but I can't get it out. I got this dog on July 4, 1991. It's like deciding to put my own child to sleep...Seventeen years..... I know it would be for the best. I know it deep down. But it's so damn hard. I have been praying that he'd die in his sleep, no pain, but that's not going to happen. He is in pain. He's in alot of pain. So why is it so hard to just say yes?????? I've got to find the strength somehow and just do it. It may be more cruel to keep him alive. I've got to go clear my head a bit. email me at crystalrecoverycommittee@yahoo.com Some days you're the dog some day you're the hydrant. - Unknown

I think that if it were possible, they would thank us for caring enough to relieve their pain. They were so loyal to us...this could be a way to repay them for being there when we needed them. I know this doesn't ease the pain of a broken heart, but it's better to help them rather than let them continue to hurt. I read that it's best, if you can, to be with them until the end & to let them, if you can, pass at home. I know those two things are asking a great emotional deal..it's all on how you could handle it. I'm sorry Lisa... Lisa Damaged people are dangerous, because they know they can survive.

The dog catcher offered to pick him up and put him to sleep for me so I'm going to take him up on it. Poor dog probably won't know any different. He's had a rough few days. It hurts to see him suffer so much. email me at crystalrecoverycommittee@yahoo.com Some days you're the dog some day you're the hydrant. - Unknown

I'm there with you kiddo, I know it's hard but just remember all the good times you both had, that's what helped me and know Shelby would be in heaven with Lisa, and Bernice helped me so much and I know one day I'll see her again, she'll be young and running like the wind. If you need me let me know OK, Love you always Bobbie "A Thoughtful act or a kind word may pass in a moment, but the warmth and care behind it stay in the heart forever." Marjoien Bastin

Good thing he's out of water I guess. Just confirms that I'm doing the right thing. He's in really bad shape. I'm getting out for a while. I'm getting a headache sitting here worrying. Love you guys. email me at crystalrecoverycommittee@yahoo.com Some days you're the dog some day you're the hydrant. - Unknown
