Nanker Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Sorry for you today. I cried like a baby for days after I had to put down my 12 year old Berner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Virgil Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 I literally just found out today that my dog has type 2 diabetes. He will need two shots a day and they don't even know if that will help. He also needs someone home with him in good portions and I have a job that keeps me away from home for 10-11 hours a day. I'm not going to lie, I am absolutely devistated right now. The Vet said I should be happy I caught it early, but either way, it's either a lot of care and attention or putting him down. I can't imagine the second option, but don't know how to give him the care he needs. So yeah, I feel for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ieatcrayonz Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Sorry for your loss. Animals, especially dogs, can often show us the best sides of life. They somehow deliver a message in a way that makes us listen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chef Jim Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Sorry for your loss. Animals, especially dogs, can often show us the best sides of life. They somehow deliver a message in a way that makes us listen. Kind of like Son of Sam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDawkinstein Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 i definitely dont mean to sound like im rubbing this in, but i wanted to share that after reading this thread and the Rainbow Bridge post yesterday, when i finally made it home the first thing i did was make a beeline to the bed and let both my dogs hop up and jump on me and give me kisses for about 20 minutes. really appreciated those little stinkers.

SageAgainstTheMachine Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I went for a hike up at Buttermilk Falls here in Ithaca (great trail if anybody is familiar with it), partially to clear my head. Along the way, I encountered a young couple with a 5 year old daughter and a little Australian Shepherd puppy out for its first walk. I guess the universe just felt like rubbing it in my face. Seriously though, it sort of just reminded me of the circle of life. Life ends, and then begins anew. I had my First Dog experience, and now that little girl gets hers. Someday my child will have his/hers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bufcomments Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 I absolutely hate these threads. I've only had to deal with losing a dog once. 12 years later and the whole thing still bugs me whenever it comes to mind. I feel you..... Its amazing how pets can affects you when they go home. You know there is a dog and cat heaven up there. I lost my dog when I was 20 that I had for 11 yrs. Reading these posts almost brings tears to my eyes. When I get a better job I will get another puppy. Sad to say I cant afford one right now . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Tomcat Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Sorry to hear it. I've had to put my dog down before and that isn't easy either. Anyway you slice it, it sucks. Maybe Sage2? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
