We have had to do this too many times over the years and it's never easy. Abbey has been having issues for a while (bladder cancer) and the past couple of days she went downhill. Had to make the call this morning to have her put down. She has been with us 14 years and she will be missed...

My heart goes out to you all.
One of the hardest decisions to be made.
When does our selfishness outweigh what is best for for pet(family member).
I hope you find healing in knowing the love and joy she brought to you over the years. 🥲

You gave a her a great life. You eased her pain and suffering. Never gets easier. Don't hesitate to get another pup. There are plenty out there. Sorry for your loss

Dogs. Best things in life. You know someday it’s gonna happen. It’s so sad. BUT - look what you gave them. A happy life! That’s all they know. RIP

Some of the toughest days of my life.
I feel for you PlanB. Getting over it, nope. Learning to live with it, yep.

May you find solace in the fact she is pain free now.

So sorry Pb. That's the worst choice to have to make. I hope some comfort and healing come to you soon. Godspeed to Abbey, may she rip for eternity.

Sorry to hear. She looked like a sweetheart. Been 8 years since we had to make that call. Still tough for the wife and son. Best to you and your family. 👍

We had to do that about a month ago. So sorry for your loss. I'm sure you gave your baby a great life and they were happy.

Holding my Gracie when she was put down fucked me up so bad that I will never in my life have a pet again. I feel your pain and very very sorry you have to go through this.

I hear you. It's tough every time we have had to do it. I was holding Abbey's head yesterday when they gave her the injection and her head just fell into my hand. I have been thinking about it all day. Sorry for your loss as well.

Thank you for the kind comments from everyone!

Im so sorry for your loss. You did the best thing you can do for your fur baby. It took me a while to get past losing Gibbs and Hunter. Let yourself feel it and know you did everything to give your Abbey the best life.

I just saw this!

Im very Sorry Abbey isn’t with you anymore, Its been a long road! Very sad.

The time we get to spend w/ our 4 legged kiddos is just Not Long enough! Truly Amazing how much Love they can give to you & the emptiness you feel when they are gone.

Thoughts and Prayers going out for you all.
