As all have said, your dog is telling you what she needs, to be set free of pain, to be whole & healthy again, awaiting you on the Rainbow Bridge....it is so very hard to say good-bye, but this is a completely selfless act. In doing this you put your dog first, before your own breaking heart; the most humane thing that can be done. You are in my prayers. jackie harris

Thank you for all your replies and advice. Last night I had to do the most dreadful thing. I put down my best friend. Right before they sedated her I put my head on top of hers and told her how much I loved and appreciated her, she then fell asleep. At least the last voice she heard was mine. She was trembling before they sedated her, the vet checked her heart before and said she was going into shock and that even if they did tests to determine why she wasn't eating that she wasn't going to get better.
It was so hard last night, and this morning when I left for work she would always bark, her way of saying goodbye.
This morning, I didn't get that bark.

So sorry! It was the best thing to do though. I know how you miss her and her bark. I miss hearing our little terrier's nails on our hardwood floors and seeing her wagging her funny little tail. Time heals, but it sure is hard at times.

Shelby74,
I'm so sorry about your dog. I went throught the same thing September 18, 2010, probably the worst day of my life when I lost my best friend. I find it some comfort that others have shared this experience and know there was nothing more that could have been done. Twelve years is a long life and I'm sure a good one. I think the pain of this loss is one of the main reasons people hesitate to get another pet. Personally, the only thing that keeps me going is finding another friend to share my home, not to replace what I've lost or minimize that relationship in any way, but to honor the legacy. Peace and best wishes.

So sorry for your loss! Its never easy especially when they have been there for so long! We lost our Trouble about 3.5months before my son was born, we put her pictures above his crib where she always slept and every morning he wakes up and when I pick him up he reaches for her picture! Her way of letting me know she watches over him every night!! We will always miss them and with time it will become a little easier but we never forget them, share your memories of her with people when ever you can! I always find when I can talk about my Trouble it seems to help!! Best wishes to you and your family.

Even when you know it is the right thing, the best thing, that you can do for your dog, it is never easy.

i know exactly how you feel shelby every morning my boy would be at my bed and i always steped on him and about fell over. i think it was his way of saying good morning mom. i put him down just a few weeks ago. just remember her for who she was. it is soo hard as all can say on here it truely is but it is a decision for the better for you and for her. just remember she will be waiting for you on the rainbow bridge to play ball not hurting any more.

When i had to put my old pal Charlie to rest a few years after i bought him over to Belgium with me, He wagged his tail and looked up at me then he was asleep. That was 4 years ago then when little Heidi got injured i had to do the same again it is hard but the dog always must come first, human feelings cannot get in the way but it does not get any easier,
You did the right thing by your Girl she is pain free now, and you have the good memories of you both together, I buried both my two Dogs above in the Rose Garden so in effect they are still with me in part
