It was a GREAT 17 years.....

We had to put our poor little boy down...such a sad day He was my daughter's 8th birthday present. He was so cute that my daughter named him Cutie. We'll see him on the other side. God Bless my friends!

So sorry for your loss

My sympathies. I don't know the feeling - and I don't want to know either. But I know it is my future, hopefully far, far in the future

Heartbreaking news, and yes he is a cutie. Although that name had to be a little awkward to call for in public. Hope you weren't driving a white panel van at those times.

Seriously though, there are no words to make it easier. I've been there, it sucks, plain and simple. The fact that they can't live forever is the worst part about having a dog.

I still remember the day, 20 years ago, when we had to put Max down. He was such a sweet dog.


That's why we got puppy Buddy, who's 3-1/2 years younger than Sunny, so when that bad day comes for her, we'll still have him.

So sorry for your loss. I had to put Sandy to sleep 2 years ago 2 week before my birthday. My buddy Sam is 14 and not looking forward to that.

We adopt these friends and try to enrich and share their little lives, which are shorter than our own. We must seem like gods to them, but we are not quite. When age or sickness ends their enjoyment of life, the decision to end suffering is one we are ill-equipped to make, yet their trust makes it a duty we cannot decline. So we make the best choice we know how and remember them fondly. Rest in peace, Cutie.

Well said my friend...well said!

Sorry for your loss. Putting my almost 16 year old Golden Retriever down was the hardest thing I ever had to do in my life. Took me 3 years to get another dog after that but finally did and actually wish I had sooner. Nothing like a good dog.

I'm sorry man. My heart goes out to your family and to Cutie.

We just had to put down our beloved rescue also. He was in rough shape when we got him but we fixed him up and showed him what it meant to have a glorious retirement. I don't think he had ever been in a house before and didn't know what a dog treat was. He soon found a bed in every room an caught onto the treat jar quick.

Sad day. He got along with every dog he met, so maybe he and Cutie can sniff butts!

Dogs are better people than 99% of the people I have met. RIP.
