Imperez, I know what you are going through and I am sorry for your loss. Some people don't understand the bond between a person and their dog, it's like losing a family member. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law recently had to make the same decision for their Jack Russell Terrier, they had him for 11 or 12 years. They said they are grateful for the good memories he gave them. I hope you have lots of happy memories to keep.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I am so sorry for your loss. It is always such a hard decision for us as parents to have to make. I had to make the same decision a few years ago with my cairn terrier Ginger at the age of 16. The decision in her eyes was easy. She was tired. She was ready to go to rainbow bridge. It was ME who was not ready and that made it so difficult It killed me to have to do it and it took me months to think about her without totAlly losing it. But now I have peace in knowing she is healthy and haPpy And waiting to see me again. Try to remember the good times and it will get easier every day

Thank you all for your support. I have many friends and the majoity of them do not have animals or treat them as such. I love my babies and they are my family and I hurt when they hurt and I feel their pain. It is really great to be a part of this forum where people all feel the same about their babies and instead of people laughing at saying it's just a dog I get support and compassion here THANK YOU!! THANK YOU!!!

It has been a hard day. I know in my heart I did the right thing but it is still very hard. I have lost others in the past and know there will be more but darn it, it just never gets easier. What is so scary is that the last two dogs that I had to PTS also had cancer. Differnt types but what is going on? Three dogs with cancer?

I pray your decisions will be clear when it's time to let go. I believe in miracles but from your post it sounds like you are facing a reality of eventual loss.

Most of all, whatever you decide, I wish you peace.

His name is Winston. He was a funny little guy. He always looked kie he was in the gangly state of his growth. He had long skinny legs and always very fraile looking. He was the only dog that I ever had that hated to be held, but he would love to come and cuddle up next to you. He hated going on walks and refused to walk. He was always a little different from the typical yorkie but never the less we loved him any way. It is hard to believe that he is gone.

She said he was so weak that she was worried that he might not make it even a few more days and she would have to keep him in the hospital. She said if it were her dog she would not put him through anymore and to let him rest in peace. So I have to believe that I did the right thing for him. It is never easy making such decisions.

So very sorry to hear this, praying that God give you the strength and comfort that you need, hugs

It is so hard and it hurts...they love us for us...

Once you start feeling better and can deal with it you might want to start reading about how we are over vaccinating our animals. I believe this is what is causing the cancers.

Check the food you feed them too. For both humans and pets, it is far less expensive to feed organic than the doctor bills and pain we go through because of "saving money."
