So, sorry...
Sent from my iPad using AGOnline
Paul I am sorry to hear about this. My heart goes out to your family. I do not own a dog. My roomate does, but even though she isn't mine sometimes I do feel that emotional attachment.
So sorry to hear Paul. Our pets are family! Blessings to you and your wife! Thinking of you guys!
I had to make that decision when my dog was 15 also, it's horrible. I wish I could sugar coat it, but it's going to be a rough morning. Sorry, man, we all feel for you.
I've been in your shoes and it's so hard turning loose of a dearly loved companion, but knowing it's the right thing to do. I'm praying for you and your wife and Koa as you all go through this.
Sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. Being a dog lover I know all too well the pain of lossing one of your family. Hang in there my friend ....
So sorry to hear this Paul. Thoughts to you and yours.
Very sorry to hear that, Paul. Our family has been through a couple of those hard decisions and time will heal.
So sorry man. Went through it three times growing up. It's awful. You are making the right choice though. So many squirrels to chase and bones to eat where she'll be.
Paul, I'm so sorry to hear about your family member. It wasn't long ago you offered very kind words for me when I had to make the same decision regarding my 11 year old greyhound Lizzy. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't think of her... all their personalities are so unique and touch us in many ways. Lizzy's personality is certainly different than Khaki, and vice-versa.
Of my three greyhounds, I now only have Khaki and I know what it's like to have to say good-bye to first Dreamer in 2014 and then the oldest Lizzy in 2016. Neither was any less painful than the other. There is nothing easy about it and it's one of the most hardest things I've ever done in my life. Despite Lizzy's cancer and obvious struggles and pain, I went down that road of second guessing if I did the right thing after she crossed the rainbow bridge. Don't go down that road, it's one that leads to no-where and causes more heartache. Know that you are doing the humane thing in helping your family member get through rough patch.
You'll miss Koa and no other dog will ever replace her.... But your other dogs and future newer family members that you add to your pack will enrich your life and let you know how much you care for Koa. My dog trainer told me, each time one of my Grey's passes the rainbow bridge, it usually means I save two more... Meaning, I lost Dreamer, but have Khaki, and now that we lost Lizzy, we think it's time to save another retired racer and give him/her a new home.
We're hear for you, there are a lot of dog lovers on this forum... Be strong for Koa and the rest of your pack. I'll keep you in my thoughts today.
