I have to put Guliver down today
 

I am going to the Dr in two hours and I cant stop crying. I had him for almost ten years and today he couldn't even pee. He no longer can stand on his legs and I am so heartbroken. I dont know how to say goodbye even... Now I can understand why people who lost their dogs dont want another one after... :(:(:(

So sad!

:(:(:( be with him and hold him telling him you love him, I went thru it with both my husbands cockers then my beautiful Tessa (cocker) and fell apart after and couldn;t stop crying for weeks....

It's out of love we have to make this hard decision but you being there is very important.

I have the memories burned in my head and if it helps....it's very peaceful and they are no longer suffering.....you will .....and it will hurt your heart for a long time - but eventually ...you can look back ...smile ....and appreciate the memories of the great dog you were blessed to have in your life.

I'm so sorry. :(

So sorry to hear about your painful decision, It's never easy but know that he will be in heaven and healthy as can be waiting for you. It's almost been 1 year since I lost my yorkie girl due to health reasons. It has gotten alot easier but I miss her so much still.

Bless your heart.

Sometimes the kindest decisions are also the hardest. I'm so very sorry

Sending peaceful thoughts your way.

I'm so very sorry.

Im so sorry, i know it hurts but we need to do the right thing for our buddies even if its not the right thing for us, I know the pain as I just put my little guy down a few weeks back he was sick and i couldnt fix him, I told him i loved him, that I would miss him he gave me a kiss and i said I was sorry i couldnt make him better and that I would see him agan one day. I dont cry cry much the big thing with me is if i cry its really really bad well i think about him and I cry for the first week I cried so much my face hurt. I have some good friends who loved my dog too,, we had a dinner in honor of my dog and we all told a story of fife we all cried and we all lauaghed, I wrote him a letter, I bought a nice box for him put all his pictures and his fav things in it, it made me feel better, I read about 10 books. I searched online for some support and found a few places the apbl.org has a chat room for people whos pet has died a few nights a week that helped me tons. I hope you know you are doing the best thing for your dog, and try to remember the happy times, I know at first it will be hard but try im sure like my fife your baby would not want you to be sad for long

I can't imagine the pain you're feeling. Please know I am thinking of you and Guliver. I am so, so sorry.

Im very sorry

Will be thinking of you.

I am so so sorry. but you're being a good momma by making the correct desicion for Guliver. when our 'family dog' died when I was younger we didn't take her to the vet, she died in my Mom's arms & we burried her right next to the house with 3 white Lillies around her, since she was a Bichon Frise & they are white & her name was Lily. & then we had a memorial plaque made(like a dog tumb stone) & laid it over her. it's peaceful to see her grave & every year in may (the month she died) the flowers start to bloom & we know she is still there watching.
God Bless you & your beloved Baby Guliver. my prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for you. {{{HUGS}}} Rest in peace Guliver.

Thank you all for your kind words!
 

The vet told me that there is an option of cremating my Guliver, and I think I might do that because I dont have where to burry him in the downtown area, and the thought of him being underground makes me feel even worse.

What I hate the most is that other then the fact that his legs can not function anymore, he is healthy! :mad:

Well, I'm sure you had lots of talk with your vet, there must be something serious going on if he can't pee and his back legs don't function. What is his diagnosis?

It is so very hard to make the right decision for an animal you love. Maybe you can have a friend go with you to the vets.
