It was hell yesterday
Yesterday I had to put my best friend of 14 yrs to sleep. He was old and had a condition that made him retain water. At the end he was so swollen and full of water that his weight had doubled.
I made him a bed in the back of the H3, loaded him up as he could barely get around and certianly couldnt jump into the Hummer any more and slowly drove to the hospital.
I went in and explained to them that he couldnt move much and it was too hard on him to carry him in so they came out to the parking lot.
I jumped in the back and put his head on my shoulder as they put the neddle in his arm and within 3 secs he collapsed all of his weight on me as I hugged him for about 5 mins till I was sure he was gone.
We took him out to my parents property and dug him a nice spot under a huge tree with the front end loader and put him to rest.
I will miss him,
R.I.P. Bud

Re: It was hell yesterday
Oh B, I am so sorry.
I wish there was something I could type that would make you feel better. I know I can't and won't try. The place on your parents property sounds really nice and it's good to know he is there.
Hang in there, friend. I will be thinking of you.

I know what you're going through. I had to do the same thing in September. I cried like a baby. Hang in there.

Re: It was hell yesterday
I feel for ya as well. We had to put ours down a month ago. She was 9 years old and could have lived double that since she was a small dog. We still have the other one and you can really see how she misses her.

Re: It was hell yesterday
Sorry to hear that. I had to put my Golden down a few years ago because of cancer.
He was a great hiking dog. We could take kids and he'd patrol the whole line making sure no one was missing.
Still miss him.

He was getting on in age, was a little over 9, which for a Dane is starting to get up there.
Anyway, he had a heart condition and one of his medications was Lasix. It seemed to help him most of the time but I think his heart just overworked. Best I can tell he died in his sleep. It didn't seem that he was thrashing around. I pray he didn't suffer.
Its like losing a child.............
