@ThePimpinGrandpa wow im sorry sounds hard to have to watch your dog go through all that because you can see the downturn.:( Guess i should be happy i didnt know my dog was sick until a few minutes before he was put to sleep.

@Saph58 I just put my dog to sleep yesterday, it was by far one of the hardest things I have ever done in my life. I still remember picking him at a little league baseball game 11 years ago. He was a fat little puppy with big paws; I instantly fell in love with him. The worst part about it is that I went away to college this Fall, and that's when my dog starting taking a turn for the worst (not eating, skinny, tumor around heart and stomach). I was there with him in the end though, love u Deener

@ThePunisherFan83 im so sorry:( But its better for your dog, and easier for that matter, being put to sleep. Mine was put to sleep yesterday. I herd a noise and came to see what was wrong, my spaniel was on the floor having a siezure, he didnt know what was going on. He was awake, but it was like he did not understand what he was seeing. We rushed him to the ER vet and they said he had a brain tumor. He was 14, and died peacefully in my arms:) exacly the same way the vet in this video did it.

As hard as it is to have to make this awful decision, you are putting your pets needs before your wants. Don't let them linger and suffer. Nobody WANTS to have to say good-bye to their best friend, but in many cases, it's the kindest thing.

[oblivionfan150]

@ThePunisherFan83 Yes...because it's much better to do what you have to do instead of bringing you're pet home to let it suffer...

[ThePunisherFan83]

@oblivionfan150 Sorry for your lost..It is very painful, to see a dog get euthanized. Esp. they have a certain disease. My dog's disease was the worst.That I have no other choice because I just can't take him home and let him die. I just told them do what they have to do.

I had to put my boston terrier to down, dune to his diagnosis of parvo.He was 7 yers old. I took him to the vet to get shots and vaccinated when he was a puppy. Plus I take him the vet on every recent events, and evrything was going fine. Until it hit me that morning back in feb.. we was up and ready like usual. He was perfectly fine when I start feeding him and I was getting dressed. I kept calling his name numerous of time to lets go. Then I went to the back room, to see whats going on-
