He was sick and declining. It was the right thing to do but it hurts. My kids are really sad. Tough situation. Not sure why I am posting this here. Probably just therapeutic?

My Dog: The Paradox - The Oatmeal

A comic about my dog, Rambo.

I stumbled across it a few years back just after having to put one of mine down. It made me smile, and well up. And it helped, a little...

I'll tell you this, I cried more that day than when my dad died, and not because I loved that dog more... It's tough...

Bummer. That's why I am not buying my first dog till I'm in my mid 70's.

Sorry to hear this. Dogs are family and more trustworthy than any man.

You made the right decision to not allow him to suffer.

We disagree on a lot, but I am sorry for your loss.

Few things are worse than having to put down a beloved pet.

My apologies, it's like losing a family member.

 

[Moonglow]

Having ten dogs and my wife having five we have to say goodbye more than we want but that is the process of existence.

 

[Road Runner]

Aww,.. and people think that Mikey doesn't have a heart.

It's a hard thing to do and almost everyone goes through it at some point. You can get some perspective on your life by how many dogs you buried. I have about half a dozen dog tags nailed to fence posts in a section of my property.

Pain is the biggest power of love. (Stephen King)

I'm sorry for the loss of your friend. It hurts just as much every time we face it but we never stop getting dogs to have around and give us joy.

I am sorry to hear this. It is always hard to put down a beloved pet. They show us what we should be. It is especially hard on kids. I know that some people say it is often their first brush with the finality of losing a loved one. But that doesn't make it easier to see the pain in your children's eyes.

Whenever I have had to put a pet down, I always try to remember it is how I repay them for the unconditional love they show us. To be free from pain and illness is a blessing, especially if you believe in something after this life.

My sincerest condolences, Azog.

I had my "baby" for 19 years. She found me when she was already grown, so I don't know how old she actually was. I had to have her euthanized because she became so old, she could no longer eat or go to the bathroom. A large part of me died when she did.

It's been over 20 years now. I still miss her. I still feel a little dead inside.
Time does not heal all wounds, nor does it make things better.
