OH god...my heart breaks for you...it really does. One barely has to pay attention to know how much you love that dog, and how close the two of you bonded. This is nothing less than losing a close family member. It makes my heart hurt to think about how you must feel.

I can't imagine what it's got to be like for someone to lose a parent, spouse, or god forbid, a child to this. Cancer took my great grandmother but I didn't really know her and was too young to really grasp how devastating it was. Dealing with this feels harder than when I got divorced.

may he die a peaceful death.
on the bright side, now you can get a puppy that can grow up with your daughter.
that creates a helluva bond for her and will give her some awesome memories

I don't think I'll want another dog for a while. You go into pet ownership knowing you'll outlive the animal. When this happens it's just devastating. I hadn't owned a pet since I was in 4th grade, so I was pretty far removed from the feelings of losing her. It's my own fault in a way for humanizing him so much. Sometimes I'd just stand there bullshitting with him while I was cooking and he'd sit there listening to me, cocking his head when he'd maybe recognize some words. I had thought about rescuing a dobie from a rescue organization here, but I don't want to have to completely retrain a mature dog and I don't have the time or patience to train a puppy right now. I've got enough on my plate.

i've heard of a network that distributes old police dogs, after they've been decommossioned...that'd be the way to go, awesome training and good with people,right off the bat.

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your dog.
I know what it's like to put down an animal and it is never easy.

Sorry for the pain you're feeling.
It takes courage and true LOVE to do what's best for you both.

Nothing I can say will make things hurt any less, but I empathize with you. I'm sorry.
