It is the hardest thing about owning a pet.

Love that passing out parade for Judge.

Great dog! Sad to see him go under these circumstances and I feel very moved at the honor he received.

God bless him!

I read a article a bit ago, someone was going to put down their dog. They gave him a Hershey bar right before the time.

I have had to put down dogs and cats - it is one of the hardest things for a human being to do. Every time, I cried so hard afterwards that I had to pull over.

Brother you said it. Just two days ago I had to put down my ‘’little buddy’’. My cat Scooter. Fourteen years we had hi. Showed up as a stray at our back door and we took him in. Best darn mouser I ever saw. But he was sick, he had diabetes. We treated it with insulin but in the last few months he was in failing health. I’ve had to do the same with dogs over the years. I love them but you’re right as rain. It’s the hardest thing about owning a pet.

You got that right. And it's as traumatic now as it was when I was a yute.

You’re not “sorry” and it is you that is “ridiculous”.

Can’t even tell you; former Marine (Tet 68), it never gets easier.
Only thing is; hopefully, I will meet them all at the Rainbow Bridge. We will all run, play, lay in the tall grass, talk about old times then cross over together.
If there ain’t no dogs in Heaven, I ain’t go’in.
