Title: A Sad Sad Day
Post by: 94rmx250 on November 17, 2010, 10,30:45 AM
I had to put my dog, Lochie, down tonight - incredibly hard to do but the best thing for her..

I found Lochie when she was about 1 whilst trailriding in Noojee after some oxygen thief beat the crap out of her and dumped her.

She was a part of our family for almost 13 years and both of my boys have grown up in her presence and under her gaurd.

i know it was the best thing to do but *@#&*@#&*@#&*@#& it was hard

"Mate" I feel your Pain, i had a Red Heeler for 15 Years, she was the best dog, and i loved her like one of the family.
It was one of the hardest things i have ever done, going to the Vet and having to give her the injection. It brings a Tear to your eye, i still miss her, she was always happy and loved to play.
Hang in there

We've all got a sad story like yours.

My kelpie/healer X (Jackie) had to go to sleep.  After a good long life you have to make that call wether your making the decision for them or for you.

It does get easier Dusty, but it takes a helluva long time.
