October 12, 200916 yr Well I just wanted to say I am really sorry for everyone who has went through this before. We did end up putting him to sleep Friday morning at around 11. It was definitely the hardest and saddest things I have ever had to do. The Vet once again told us that she thought it was for the best that we did that too. It didn't help though when the Vet did say he sure does have a lot of spirit left in him though. Really just felt like we were just killing him, however the Vet saw too that he had a hard enough time with his back leg so it had to be done. We had our whole family there with him till the end in the room, he was apart of the family so we made sure we were there. He was as sweet as always all the way till the end. He was even licking the Vets face giving her a kiss, right when she was giving him the first shot to knock him out. He was just the sweetest dog ever, I loved him and always will. I didn't realize that the first shot would kick in so quickly though, I thought it might have been a minute or two. It only took like 10 seconds and he was down, and that was so hard to see. We were all crying, because we definitely didn't think it would be that quick. We were not ready for that. I just wanted to say Thanks to everyone for your support through this, I definitely have appreciated it a lot. We got a really good picture of me him and my two little brothers right before we went into the Vet. He was even looking at the camera and it was like he was smiling. I probably will be putting it on here soon. Thanks again though to everyone for everything. Now I want to cry.
October 12, 200916 yr Had an Alaskan Malamute that got a tumor similar to that of Mylo's and had to be put down. She was 13. My parents had got the dog when I was born so we basically grew up together. Very sad.
October 12, 200916 yr I'm so sorry, futurecoach. I remember it alarmed me, too, at how quickly my Samson passed. He made a little noise at the shot, and he was gone. I'll be thinking of your family.

October 12, 200916 yr :cry: So sorry to hear about this future. I just got done reading this thread and it definitely made me cry. I can't imagine how it feels to have to make that decision, and can't imagine how it'll feel when we have to make that kind of decision with Jack.

I can't imagine how it feels to have to make that decision, and can't imagine how it'll feel when we have to make that kind of decision with Jack. It definitely was hard, as I said I don't think I have went through anything harder before. He was part of the family. That is the one bad thing though about dogs, is that they don't live as long as us. So when that times it is just very hard. I know even as hard as it was, I definitely wont let it stop me from getting another dog sometime in the future. It will be awhile before I do, but it really is just a great experience to have a dog they really do become part of the family. So even though there are times like these that are hard, it doesn't take away from all the happy moments and those are the moments I will remember. Dogs really are mans best friend.
October 12, 200916 yr Not only are they man's best friend, they are a woman's best friend as well. I have 3 dogs, a 15 year old, 8 year old and 3 year old, and I love them to death. As an adult, I have never had to put a dog to sleep. I know that when that time comes, it will be one of the hardest things that I have ever have to do. They are all three a part of our family, and my son, who is 15 loves them just as much as I do.
