Have to put my pup down tomorrow Login/Join 
Member
posted
My younger pit bull has to cross the rainbow bridge tomorrow. The decision to put her down is killing me inside. She’s only 5 but she started snapping at my kids and wife and attacked my older dog. We had her in for a neurological consult and she has a tumor in her brain.
Tomorrow is the day. She got a steak dinner tonight. She will get some bacon tomorrow morning. Then my wife will say goodbye before I bring her to the vet.
My 3 year old daughter is already Devestated. She doesn’t want “her Rosie to go away”
I love my pup but know there is no coming back from a brain tumor.

Wow, sad to hear and my condolences. You did all you could for her and probably more than most would do. I am sure she had a great life with your family during her 5 years and feel blessed for the time you did have together. She will be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Man that's hard. Believe me I know, one of the hardest things in life to do. I love dogs and have had to do it more than once.

We had to make the hard call last Summer. Ours was only 6 1/2.

It's the right call but difficult.

My sincere condolences.

I don’t envy the position you’re in as we’ve lost 2 dogs ourselves but you’re definitely doing the right thing, regardless of how difficult it is. Cancer sucks, and I’m sorry it’s taking your Rosie away.

Knowing that you're doing the right thing for both your pup and your family doesn't make it any easier. All the best.

I've had to do it many times, and even though the decision becomes easier to make with experience, actually taking that last trip to the vet, holding them close and looking then in the eye as they go, burns a bigger hole in my heart each time.

Remember tomorrow that we're all with you in spirit.

It truly feel for you. I had to put my beautiful girl down earlier this year after 13 loyal years of companionship.
