Oh, I'm sorry to hear this. It's hard to lose a dear friend. But I admire you for caring enough to end his suffering. It's not an easy decision, I respect you for taking care of him and making sure he finds peace.

You have my deepest sympathy and I wish you peace and strength.

Condolences. I hope there is some comfort in knowing that you are doing the right thing to ease his suffering.

Oh my, I'm so sorry to hear that...
You took the right decision: he won't suffer anymore.
He will be in my thoughts on Monday. You too. :(

Oh Mutley, I am so sorry. I hated making this decision too, for more than one dog. I held each of them in my arms as they went.

It's the right thing, you know it, but it doesn't make it any easier.

Gorilla Bananas said...

Poor fellow. You wouldn't be doing this unless he was suffering. Sincere condolences.

He has gone. I bought it forward as he was in distress. Wetting his bed and shaking, nothing left of him.

A virtual hug Mutley.

He is suffering no more, but it so hard to lose your "best friend".

I know the pain well. We males pretend we are hard but wouldn't we be sad cases if we didn't have feelings.

Aw mutts. I'm so sorry to hear. I can only imagine how hard this is, but you'd be making the right choice for him.

Small comfort, I know.

*hugs*

Thanks to everyone It really does mean a lot to me that you have been here for me. Thank you all.

Moggs Tigerpaw said...

That is so awful.

Sometimes you just have to make the hard choice because it is a duty you owe.

It is still awful, but it is the least awful thing.
