    After 14 and a half years, Millie crosses the bridge tomorrow. We know its the right thing to do, she’s has gone downhill in the last month, but that doesn’t make it any less hard. RIP, you’re a good pup.

    I can’t think of many things in life that are any more difficult than what you soon have to do.

    Man that is so tough. Our 13+ year old farm dog made that trip 3 years ago and I still find myself thinking of her from time to time. Good luck and I hope you find peace knowing that she is in a better place!

    I hate dogs because they leave before we do.

    Good dog Millie.

    I feel your pain, condolences to you, so sorry.
    Even now, 3 years later, I miss my Penny dog, she was 16 and she was with me thru some good times aS well as some tough ones for sure.

    Dogs give unconditional love and affection. I got another dog, a rescue dog, and she is a wonderful pet, but never will I forget my Penny doggie.

    Again, condolence, it is like losing a member of the family,none of us are here forever, so enjoy what we have, and thank the Lord for the gift of having a great friend.

    Just my few idle thoughts,

    Thoughts and condolences go out to you. The IDO dog park in the sky is getting another good one.

    It’s easy to love a dog. It’s difficult to love them enough to do the right thing.

    I’m sorry for your loss. When we had to put our Flash down that was the hardest thing to do.

    It sucks when you have to put a dog down. I did mine in September,he was old when I got him,gave him 3 years good years more than he would have had at the pound. I feel your pain.

    Very sad day for sure. The wife and I needed to put down our Shadow several years ago and to this day I think of her and get tears in my eyes. So sad

    14 years is a darn good run. You were a fine owner and friend. It is never easy, but you do know when it is time to say good bye.

    It is a tough choice , but the right one. I just buried one of my St Bernards 2 weeks ago and that hurts. Enjoy them . They are family.

    Sorry for your loss. I still think about my duck dog, Shelby, everyday. She was a member of my family and I still miss her. But I remember the great memories that we created together and it always puts a smile on my face.
