Dottie, the dalmation.

I had to put down my first dog, a 15 year old dalmation, Dottie, tonight.

I sat with her through the euthanasia. I rubbed and loved her while the doctor injected her, and continued until she died.

I know it was the right thing to do, but it doesn't feel good.

I can't understand how 15 years of life can end so quickly.

 

omg thats so sad..
(((((HUGS)))))

i would be devistated if i had to put my dog down.. you are very strong..

 

*hugs*

Can't imagine how hard that must be.

 

i'm sorry to hear that i dread the day i'll be faced with having to do the same~

 

awwww poor you, but at least you did the right thing for her. at least shes out of pain now, i worked in lots of vets and saw things like that everyday, sometimes good sometimes bad but most of the time it was right for the animal. i hope your ok though xxx

 

sorry you lost your dog
((HUGS)) Just remember of the good times you had with your dog.

 

you did the right thing, to be with her. I did this a few years ago with my old dog and it's something you never forget. But do remember all the good times with Dottie, OK? 15 years is a good long life. I have a friend facing this issue also, it's so hard, no words can really describe it. Most difficult decision ever. And even worse afterwards, but time will heal. Hugs to you.

 

Thanks for everyones support!

I was freaking out last night, but am much better today.

I think she had a stroke. It was time, I did the right thing.

Of course I miss her, but, I wouldn't want her to linger for my benefit.

Thanks Again!
