If you replaced the dog with a human, I wouldnt feel as sad.

My wife wants to get our boy a dog....I am already dreading something like this happening

I'm not reading that shit because I don't want to cry like a little girl here at work. I had to put one of my dogs down and I was there the whole time for her. They came and gave her the numbing shot and after that they gave me 15 minutes to spend time with her and talk to her. After that they came in the room and gave her the last shot. She went quick but yeah it was rough. I rarely cry but man... I sob like a little bitch when it comes to my pets.

Not reading it. Saw it on FB and hid it. I've got 9 of these in my memory - I don't need to reopen those wounds this morning while at work.

They did it right there at that park? That one little shot is all it takes?

I spent 5 years as a Vet Tech when I was younger....I've forgotten a lot about that job over the years, except for that part...the worst part of the job is unfortunately the part that I profoundly remember the most.

I've had to put 2 of my own dogs down in the years since...it leaves a scar that you carry the rest of your life, however we should be thankful to have a choice when it comes to ending their suffering.

Although still running strong, my current Border Collie "Arrow" is 10 this year.

Fuck you for posting this, I've been avoiding it.

As I said on facebook, I like dogs better than most people.

I had to put the family dog down two days after my mom passed away. That was extremely difficult. I'm just thankful the vet came to the house to do it and I was able to be with her as I was with my mom. This past weekend, I got to bury them together.

Dude, very sorry to hear that on both accounts.

Putting my BC Scully down last year was one of the worst days of my life. There's only been one other time in my life I have completely lost it like that, and it kept hitting me over and over at random times. It still does sometimes, even though I rescued another BC puppy. They are such amazing little dogs.

While its sad as hell and hard to read, I try to look at it as a beautiful thing. The dog came in to their lives from a shelter and they each brought each other so much joy. They didn't have long together but the years they spent together were happy, he was loved so much that a group of his friends got together and gave him one last awesome goodbye. That, is a great thing

I'm glad you guys are human, I also teared up a little

I've had other dogs, but I'll say that my BC's have been unique....they are so smart that it seems you develop a different type relationship with them, I think closer in some ways. My last one "Donut" was an amazing dog...and unfortunately I couldn't be right there with her when the time came, that has worn really hard on me for a number of years now. Funny thing, she's still in my dreams fairly often.....and now, even 8-years later, I still sometimes mistakenly call Arrow Donut....so much so that she even responds to it....as-if she knows.
