We put our dog down this evening. My wife got her while she was at A&M 16 years ago this month. She was a mini weenie dog and she was spoiled rotten. Been through several moves, Me and the wife dating, to marriage, to the birth of our twins that little dog was by our side through it all. My wife is torn up but we've had a feeling this day was coming sooner than later as she's slowed down a ton the past few years. First time either of us have ever been through that with the vet and a dog. It was sad, but peaceful knowing she's now in a better place. Gunna be a weird feeling not having her around the house.

Sorry for your loss.

You're not alone, did the same to my weenie who was 13.5 on Saturday. Lived with me in 4 different states and saw my kids start to grow up, probably waited 2 days too long. Was trying to give him every chance to recover but organs stopped on him from what I could tell, he couldnt move in the end so had someone come over to put him down. Horrible, he was the first little child I had. We understood each other in ways I've never had with a dog before. Been thinking about him every day. He was special to me in ways my other dogs I still have are not. So I get it.

Been there several times and it never gets easy. Praying for you.

I tear up everytime I see that

You have my sympathies. Dogs have attributes that we humans would do good to aspire to. Loyalty, joy in the simple things, capacity to forgive and move on, willingness to serve, and do many more good or noble traits.
