Sorry about your dog. I know the feeling a few years ago I had to put my cat down of 12 years and she was my only pet because of cancer. It's so hard.

Although on one level I like the idea of me being there to pet him and talk to him as he goes, I am starting to think that I cannot handle that. I might have to just summon the courage on the spur of the moment and take him in without an appointment and drop him off. My mom said she cannot handle it, but my brother might be able to go with me.

PLEASE have someone going with you and driving. I would - if I live closer.

My ex's dog (she was also mine at the time - but I was not that attached) got really sick and and eventually passed ... but when i had to drop her off in Dogie ER - the way she looked at me ... I could not drive after that. I had to have someone from work to come and pick me up.

I took my BF to go with me and my cat to the vet - for just routine exam and shots...

If you do go - please have someone with you - to drive you there and then to drive you home...

From your posts - looks like we get so attached to our fur babies..

My aunt had them come to the car and sedate her doggie so he went to sleep in her arms. They then took him inside and put him down without her. That may be an option.

Oh so sorry! I totally understand how hard this is!

It will hurt. It will take time. It will require dedication. It will require willpower. It requires sacrifice. There will be temptation. But, I promise you, when you reach your goal, it's WORTH IT! (Author Unknown). I feel this sums up my ongoing journey to a healthier me!

Lora I am so sorry. Our pets definitely become members of the family. Do all you can for him in the days that remain. He sounds like a very special friend.

We had to put our black lab, Pharoah, to sleep in late November due to bone cancer. In February we had to put our Golden Retriever, Sally, to sleep because of stomach cancer. Our oldest dog, Dallas, a ****er spaniel had a cancerous growth which was removed on his back in March and it has now returned. At 14-1/2 all I can do is make him comfortable.

That will leave us with our 7 year old German Shepherd, Tag, who is traumatized with the loss of two and soon even more so with the loss of Dallas. I have never shed so many tears in such a short period of time.
I realized, though, that I could not be selfish.....We have to do what is best for them and sometimes we are forced to make hard decisions.

It's so difficult and truly, we are never prepared for this. I pray for your healing.

I am so sorry you are going through so much pain. Anyone who has a beloved pet knows they are NOT just animals but members of our family. We spent thousands we didn't really have trying to keep our 20 year old cat and 14 year old dog going, when I realized I was acting not in their behalf but for my wanting to keep them here. We had them put down on the same day and I truly thought I would have a nervous breakdown. Now I just remember the good times and the love we shared with them. I hope you find peace knowing you love him enough not to have him suffer anymore. You are in my thoughts.

The responsibility is so awfully hard. Know that you're doing the right thing for your boy, and remember that he knows how much you love him.
