Now my nose is running, and my cheeks are soaked.

My best friend, partner, and only family left, has been bouncing up and down the road with me 24/7 for the past 14 years. In our occupation, I've been more than lucky to get away with this, and know he'll never be replaced. Although he's in exceptional shape, thinking about his age scares the heck out of me.

I feel for you, your family, and her.

I'm sorry. I am a big animal lover and I know what you're going through. Just remember that Moo's sole purpose on this Earth was to bring joy to you and your family. It sounds like you gave her the opportunity to fulfill her purpose, and you've returned all the unconditional love that she's given to you.

Stay with her in the room when it happens. That's all they ask of you at the end - that you're there to hold them. It's tough, but it's the price we pay for the joy they bring us.

Moo made you happy, and I'm sure you made her happy. It's always a sad thing to see a dog, of which I have no doubt was a great member of your family, go. But remember the unconditional love and joy she gave you. And be glad you got to say goodbye.
My sympathies.

Sorry for your loss. I'm sure nikimcbee could commiserate with you on the subject. He was pretty broken up over the lost of his namesake four-footed friend a few years back.

Sorry for your loss.

You have that dog a good life.

The world needs more people like you.

People like you make people like me almost like people.

It was a noble decision.
