I had to put my best friend "my dog" down today:(

I don't mean to put anybody in a sad mood, but I just needed to get it off my chest.The vet told me today that I have two choices, the right choice and the wrong one:cry:; Bear was a 137 lb. golden lab, only 11 1/2 years old. He had degenerative arthrits in his hips; this in combination with tile floors, slippery paws, and an always excited loving dog= multiple slips over the years, which in turn made his shit worse:thumbsdown: Gradually his pain became worse and worse and I definetly feel that it should be quality over quantityHowever, I keep beating myself up, thinking of all these things I could have done, done better, and done more.
I know he is in a better place 'cause after all All Dogs Go To Heaven wave
Sorry again for the depressing post
I get a pic up soon, all the pitures I have are 35mm. So when I scan some I'll get them up

 

Sorry to hear about your loss, I know how it feels, our doggy Bronson died over a year ago. He was a Lab-Mix. I am sure Bear brought you some funny memories. They each have their own pesonality.

hsnap: 137lbs!!

 

Seriously, he was like Andre the Giant reincarnated as my dog

 

Sorry to hear about your pooch man. I know how it feels to lose a friend.

 

I know how you feel. I've been through 2 of those events in my life.

 

X2 Sorry to hear about it. Both of my dogs died last year. Both were 14 years old. RIP.

 

Thanks again everybody, I'm doing much better now:thumbup:
