[Closed] I'm going to lose my best canine mate tomorrow...

poor little boy. 🙁 i dread the day with our mutt.

(editted for error)

So sorry to hear this, big hugs

🙁

thats hard just to read that, i feel for u.

Sorry to hear that 🙁

so sorry i know and have felt your pain.

I think I have something in my eye.

man that's horrible 🙁 if it's any consolation at all,at least he will be at peace (not feel any more pain) plus he spent his life with you (sounds like you doted on him).

Gutted for you.

Just tried reading your post to my wife.
I never made it to the end...
So sorry to hear this 😥
Give him a big hug from me

🙁 🙁 🙁

Very sorry to hear that....

Do what's right for him & savour the memories.

😥

He sound like a great friend. All the best for tomorrow.

🙁

My heart goes out to you mate. I lost my cat over 4 years ago and cried for a week

I'm 57

I've been there , know wot ur going through rite now , just be there for him till the end !!!!!!

Oh mate. Honestly you are going to do a good thing and despite how awful you may feel its the right thing for your friend. I still miss my lad having done the same but it's the final act of love and friendship for him.

Never easy and familiarity with the process doesn't help either. Mine always go out with their collar off. All the best for tomorrow.

Sad sad time ....enjoy your last moments together .. 🙁

😥

Dude, gutted for you. I was so lucky that my childhood hound pretty much just kealed over from healthy. Sound like he had good innings, still horrible though. They leave such a massive gap. thoughts with you.

So sorry to hear that. 😥

I think I have something in my eye

+1 . Thinking of you 🙁

So so sad , give te fella a hug from me.

My 11 year old lab is next to me taking up 80% of the couch.

Best friends for ever eh

*hugs*

Sorry Mark 🙁
Hope he goes peacefully.

Think I'll hug mine a bit more tonight ...easy to take them for granted

So very sorry to hear that--knowing that it's for the best doesn't make it any easier.

I can't say anything to make this hurt any less for you but I really wish I could. Sounds like you're making a selfless but difficult decision though.

Both me and the wife are sat here now, welling up and giving some extra fuss to our pooch.

I feel your pain

Bullheart. I will be thinking of you tomorrow. It is tough to lose our most loyal friends...

I had to get our first dog put down two years ago and our cat eight years ago. It is one of the worst things you have to do, but it is the last thing you can do for them.

We have two great dogs now, it is much easier when you get another dog.

Hope you get through tomorrow alright.

Innes

Thats a tough thing to read especially as you have been through so much together.... think of the good times...

Bit dusty in here right now...

You know when it's time, very tough though

Take him out to see the dawn tomorrow also. He sounds like he's had a good time, he's helped his master and you are with him at the end. IME that's pretty much all they want.

sorry to hear this.

post up some pics of happy days with your pooch.

Just walked in from making a cuppa to find my wife with tears in her eyes. She said "don't read the thread on STW, you'll know which one" 🙁

Really really feel for you, it sounds like you are doing the right thing for your dog though so take some comfort from that.

no dust around here, just tears.....
<hugs> to all of you.
C, S and Ted The Terrier.

Hayfever is playing up here too...... Hugs :'(

Just awful.. dreading the day this happens to my Lab as he has terrible hip dysplasia.

Thats it looks like my two best friends are about to get spoilt today.Really feel for u its such a hard decision to finally make but be positive and remember the lifetime memories.

So sorry for you mark. You are his best mate and he knows you would do anything for him. Even this.

You made me have a little cry by the way.

I know tomorrow will be a hard day, but you can take great comfort from doing the right thing for him, now as always. you can tell a lot about people from how they treat their pets...

Chin up and be strong for the lad.

Don't know what more to say

is he trying to stop you riding that bike? a good friend indeed!

Sorry to hear this, I shed a tear just reading this 🙁

No way to like that pic on this forum but I do. Chin up big man

Tomorrow will be a shitty day, just get through it.
The fact you care enough to stay with him tonight shows he´s had a good run with good people, take comfort in that.

Wanted to type more but can´t.

That pic's just set me off again.

Sorry, that's hard...

Tears here.

Mark, enjoy the stars this evening.

Chin up and ll that.

Mark

That pic's just set me off again.

Damn, dogs are great aren't they!

Feeling your pain.

Going through the same.

Furry children rock. End of.

Time is a healer ... it really is ... but be sure to keep your favoured memories close to heart. Always.

Sorry to hear that bullheart. No more to say really.

Feel for you man, know what it's like to lose a furry friend. I'm dreading the day I have to say good bye to my dog as he's my best mate.

Chin up dude

Baz and Corrie the collie

It's the day I fear most. Thoughts with you mate. Welling up here.

Kev
Turbo
Deva

Dammit.

Feel it for you.
Stay strong.

You loved him, so he lived.
Bet he had great time with you.
Pity they don't live as long as us.
It's great he has you to help him on his final day.
Thinking of you.

Brave decision 😥 . Take care xx

Sums it up perfectly.

I know what you are, and will, go through 🙁

Very sad to hear but as others have said you can do no greater thing than be there at the end.

Heartfelt sympathies.

All the best today.

yes, all the best, truly heartbreaking.

Yes, take comfort in the knowledge that he was a very lucky dog, with years and years of kind ownership and loyalty at your hands.
Millions of dogs don't get it as good.
He's been a happy dog and will remember you so in doggy heaven.

I feel for you man. It's a terribly hard thing to do but ultimately in this case it sounds like the right thing.

He was there for you when you needed him, He needs you now, he's got nothing left to give. It is the last gift you can give him, an end to the pain. He'll thank you for it. And you'll feel better for helping him. Thanks him for the good times.
I feel your pain - it's not about you right now it's all about him AND you.

This sums it up perfectly for me.

Be strong, as he was strong for you, through good times and bad a question never asked eyes sparkling in the sun a tail wagging each time he'd be offered a run..............

Man doesn't that dust just get everywhere!

All the best for today Bullheart , You know its the right thing to do . Dosen't make It any easier though. Good luck.

We had 3 springers. 2 we had before the kids were born. They were absolutely part of the family, 100%. And we had one put to sleep 10 days ago - it was beyond awful. But, we actively talk about her, always about the 100's of good times, her character, her daftness. It's still grim, but we're smiling and fondly remembering. We know it was the 'right' thing to do, but it's so tough. Keep in mind all the happiness between you - it's helped us.

I hope all went well as it could , Monty (my farty old lab) says woof

I felt so tearful reading this. I'm so sorry bullheart, don't know what else to say

i love my dogs as much as they love me. its unconditional. my heart goes out to you

And me also, thoughts are with you 😥
