Yesterday I had to put my 17 y/o dog to sleep.I've had him since he was 2 and never thought it would be so hard losing him.He was suffering from very bad arthritis and yesterday he woke up and couldn't walk or lift his head. We decided it might be his time to go so we called our vet and he agreed to see us.We got to his office and asked him to look him over,to ensure we were doing the right thing.The vet took a few xrays and confirmed that there was no way he would ever be able to walk,or even move,pain free again.So we told him to go with the euthanasia.My wife kissed him on the head and said goodbye and left,but I couldn't let him go to sleep alone. I held him while the vet gave him the shot and it was so peaceful. Right before he passed he looked at me and kissed my face,as if saying goodbye,then he was gone.I'm a 35 year old man and I was crying like a baby,even today I am at work and teary eyed.Anyone else ever feel this way after losing their pet? I am having a hard time coping.
