Late Wednesday night Car got out of his kennel and was hit by a car. There was nothing we could do for him. The vet said that he wouldnt ever be able to walk again. I had to make the decision to have him put to sleep...it was the hardest thing I have ever did...but he was in so much pain. He was my best friend.
I miss you Car bo!

As difficult as it was, you can find comfort in your having had the courage to make the right decision for the dog. In time, though you will not forget this friend, your heart will have room for another.

So sorry Kelly. It is always hard when it happens so fast, hard enough with old ones you can get prepared for ....

My vet always says to the owners when putting a dog to sleep
You have given your friend the greatest and last act of kindness, God Bless You!

I am so, so sorry for your loss, and having to make a decision like that. That was the best decision from the sounds of it.
My Sympathy

Kelly,
You did the only thing you really could do for him under catastrophic circumstances.
I faced a similar decision with my beautiful girl Phantom (Phanny). She suddenly had a lump appear on her haunch and it was diagnosed as a fatal fast growing cancer deep in her pelvic bone. I gave her hideously expensive pain killers until even they were not enough. Then, like you, I gave her mercy.
In my mind I knew I was doing the right thing for her. In my heart, I felt horribly wrong to put her to sleep. The pain in my heart was the price for doing what was right for her, no matter how bad it felt for me. Like you, I did what was right for my dog.
Phanny lives in my heart forever, just like Car lives on in your heart. Don't let go of the love and all you shared.
This is my favorite picture of Phanny. It gives me peace to look at it. She's my angel in heaven.
Michele and Pharaoh
