She was 17 years old, kidneys failing and had cancer. I couldn’t watch her suffer so I put her down this morning. She was a pup when we got her but after that long she was a part of the family. Until we meet again old girl.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Putting down a good dog is one of the hardest things we do.

Hang in there. I'm sure you gave your dog the best life you could.

Condolences. Seeing an end to a profound friendship is always a tragedy. I have lost more than a few great dogs (is there any other kind?) in my time, I know you must feel crushed.

One thing I would do, to say goodbye if you will, would be to dig the grave myself. Sort of like the last thing I could do for my best pal. The physical exertion helped with the grieving as well. Last one I dug was just over four years ago, and they don't get easier with advancing age. It pains me that I am not likely to be able to do for Clark when his time comes. Whenever that will be, it will be too soon.

When the time comes to consider a successor to your girl, please consider adoption of an abandoned/unwanted dog.

That's the only problem with dogs. They don't last forever.

Every time I have to put one down I swear I'll never do it again...then a few months later I do it again.

Sorry for the hurt. Flash-lb said it well.

Takes a ton of courage to make that call/see ‘em through.
