I Had To Put Him Down

[SummerBreeze]

My dog and I have been best buddies for some time now. He started to slip away little my little with age. We went as long as we could together. He was there for me and I was there for him. His joy for life became a struggle from eating to just trying to move.
No more pick up truck rides, no boat rides we couldn't be together as much as we wanted to.
Barney, rest in peace my friend thanks for making our life together great

[Tequila-John]

Sorry for the news. Always hard to let a friend go.

[The Jerk]

Take it easy Barney. Sounds like you had a good life with your owner...

[doesitfloat?]

Awwwwwww~! :cry: That is sad. I feel bad for you. I dread the day one of our pups passes. We have a puppy and a 12 year old, both Rat Terriors. I want them to live forever.
I hope you recover and then get a new pup!
:rollside:

[MRS FLYIN VEE]

We are so sorry to hear of your loss. It is a very hard decision to have to make when you love someone so much. :cry: May he RIP .

[Cheap Thrills]

Well Dog Gone, I hate to hear that you had to put your buddy down. But look on the brighter side of things. He's probably up there in doggy heaven either licking his balls without fear of being yelled at or gnawing on an everlasting Milk Bone treat, and thanking you for the times you had together.
C.T. :wink:

[MRSDRMCAT]

I am so sorry!! Animals are such a big part of a family!! Hope time heals soon!!

[rude235]

RIP barney. sorry for your loss. we had to do the same thing this year also. hardest damn thing i've ever done.

[TJRiver]

I'm with rude 235. Putting down our 15 year old Golden was the hardest thing I have ever done. Sorry to see any dog owner go through that process. RIP

[Flyinbowtie]

Bummer, but the depth of feeling with which you express your sense of loss speaks loudly of the quality of life your love gave Barney. I had to put down my former K9 Partner, Rommel, an AKC long-haired German Shepard, about 10 years ago.
His memory is deep in my heart.
Rest in peace, Barney.
It never ceases to inspire and amaze me when I consider the bond that can form between dogs and people. It is simply beautiful.

[MsDrmr]

The pain you feel at a loos of a pet it terrible and I am sorry for your loss. I know there are no words I can say that will make it better...I wish you the best

[AZJD]

Thats a bummer! Sorry for your loss!

[Lightning]

Very sorry to hear about this, :cry: that's one of the hardest things to do. It sounds like you guys had a good run together.

[DesertGirl]

So sorry to hear, that is one of the hardest things to do. We have a pup too, she is one of the family. I couldn't imagine having to do that....
Get another one soon!!!

[bunny 166]

Im so sorry Summerbreeze! :cry: Dogs are the best...Hang in there...You did the right thing...poor baby was not doing well, but it doesn't make it any easier. Feel better soon...

[OGShocker]

Sorry for your loss, SB. :cry:

[Debbolas]

I am so sorry.... :cry: ...We had to put our Rhodesian Ridgeback down last year, just before Thanksgiving.
I want to clone my lab (sonny) he is the best. I"ve noticed this since we have a new puppy (blondie) Silly me I thought all dogs would be like him, and they aren't.
Remember what CT said, he is in Doggy Heaven riding in the boat:D

[Huckleberry]

Sorry to hear of your losss. Putting a pup down is one of the hardest things I've ever done. They're family members as far as I'm concerned.

[Legal Chemistry]

Sorry to hear about your loss, dogs are mans best friend and they are ours. I'm sure he is a wonderful dog (they are never truly gone) and he'll get to look after my pup-pups when their time comes.
I'm just glad my dogs will have a an 'ol time river buddie to share memories with.
Rest in Peace.

[Eliminator 4 Life]

Me and Macey are sorry for your loss and we understand how hard it is.

[kanedog]

Sorry to hear about your loss sb.
Barney is never truly gone as was previously mentioned. hang in there.
I cry every time i read someone had to put down their dog.
i had to do it twice and we have 4 dogs now, so I know those tough times will be coming again.
Again, hang in there!

[MODVP22]

sorry to hear about your loss. I had to do the same a year ago this month, the void never fills. I love my dogs, they are part of the family. I bet he misses you just as badly

[Phat Matt]

Sorry about your dog but it was the right thing to do. I don't even want to think about the day we have to put our Buddy down, but it is a part of life.

[slowinhavasu]

Hang in there....RIP....

[Infomaniac]

Godspeed Barney

[Rexone]

Sorry SB. I know this pain all to well being on dogs 5&6 now. Just remember Barney is looking down on you right now and saying thanks for the wonderful life dude and for not letting me hurt at the end.
Get another one as soon as you are able. Not to replace Barney, no other dog ever will replace those that have passed on. But another with a new a unique personality for you to share life with.

[seanv]
