I had to make one of the hardest decision's of my life yesterday. We had to help Chubby over the rainbow bridge to join Puggie and Peadinker his brothers. He was 10 years old. He had a benign tumor which kept growing and our vet kept monitoring him but said he could never survive surgery as it was very extensive. I know he's pain free and happy once again. We knew the time was coming as he was slipping fast the last few days. We just showered him with love and made sure he was comfortable. He left us with a huge hole in our hearts but some great memories. He ushered a few door to door salesman off our property more than once and we will miss him dearly.Doug

Our condolences to you. We know how difficult losing one of our fur kids can be, having just lost one last month. They leave a hole, but at least we can comfort ourselves that we gave them the best life possible and the gift of leaving this life with dignity.

So sorry. As dog lovers, we know it hurts.

Sorry ,Have lost about 8 best friends ,miss everyone. Only thing that helps is knowing you gave them a good life.

So sorry for your loss..it's never easy...Chubby knew he was loved.

Sorry for your loss. It's a hard decision to make.

So sorry for your loss. We've lost several fur babies over the years. I hope they're all up at the Rainbow Bridge playing together!

Condolences and prayers. It's never easy. When you're ready please consider rescuing another dog/child to continue his legacy of love and fidelity.

While in many cases, it's the Final Act of Kindness we do for them - it doesn't make it an easier :-( So sorry for your loss....

So very sorry for your loss. A hard decision to be sure. But, our furkids give us unconditional love and companionship and depend on us to be there for them when they need us.

I lost my Bailey Boy last month, I too, had to make that decision. He was there for me and I was there for him.

God Bless You Both and give you strength for the coming days.

Forever in our hearts...

So sorry for your loss. While hard, sometimes it's the best thing for the dog and you showed how much you loved him.

Oh, so hard for you, but I'm glad you had your vet's realistic assessment to go by. Chubby is back romping with his brothers at The Bridge. No more pain for him, no confusion, he's at peace, bless his heart.
