Sad Day at HalfSmokes House

My heart goes out to you and your family.

Sorry to hear about your loss. I remember when we had to put our first pup down. The first night I came home from work and realized he wasn't at the door wagging his tail and jumping up on me just about broke me.

Thoughts and Prayers to you and family.
Very difficult, but I'm sure she greatly appreciated the love and care you gave her.

Warren, I am so sorry that this has to be done. We have cats in my house and it never gets any easier. It sounds like your baby girl has had a wonderful life with a family that truly cares. That is a true gift of it's own. Cherish the memories you have and let her be free of the pain that she must obviously be in. All my best to you and your family today.

I've seen this posted by other members and I feel for them. Now it will be our turn at HalfSmokes house. Today we have an appointment with the vet to put one of family
friends to sleep. Very sad but she is 19 years old and has lived a great life. Has traveled even spend time in the Virgin Islands. She was originally our sons we had her since 2003.

Will be greatly missed. Our next in line is 18 years old then 12 and 4 years old.

Saying good bye to faithful companions is always hard. The responsibility as an owner to make sure our furry buddies don't needlessly suffer is a great one and quite a burden. making the decision to end their lives is always hard and my heart goes out to you. if you thought it was time you did the right thing. We just put a fur babbie of the feline species down about a month ago 11 years of antics and head butts. they will always be with us.

So so so sorry... Loosing a dog is very sad. She has a long life and that is good. Sending strength your way.

sorry to hear that Warren, never an easy decision. but as being a pet owner it's our obligation to make sure our pets don't suffer.

gmc2003 in the thread that Al posted on chef jimmyj said exactly the true meaning of the people on this form "complete strangers helping complete strangers" the kind words and support from the members of this forum during our lost is just so great. I only know 2 people that I have meet and the rest are all supporting strangers helping strangers. I would love to meet you all personally and say thank you.

Sad.
You didn't get cheated out of time with her.
But, the longer you have them, the longer you miss them?
My wife's 19 yo cat is sitting on the chair next to me as I type.
It won't be much longer for her either.

My condolences. its a sad thing to lose a pet its like a family member.

Sincerely,

One of the saddest days of my life is when we had to put our kids' first pet down. I feel for you.

Sorry to hear Warren . I have loved and Lost several dogs so far in my lifetime but you do like myself and keep a few around to help cushion the loss !!! I have one left now and this one is joined at the hip with me so I know it will be tough when his time comes. RIP puppy

A friend put down his son's 15 yo German short hair last week.
Luckily, the vet allowed his son to be with her.
