Wow, what a great life you must have had with him...
Take your time and grieve....and don't let anyone try to tell you what to do...
I know it took me awhile before I could even think of the good times with Chico after he died...it hurt too bad.
He's in a beautiful place now, without pain, or age, and all the comforts a dog could want or dream of....waiting at the bridge, for you, his faithful and loving owner.

well i used to work at a vet and we had to put down animals all the time tha people would bring in to have euthanised. an i can tell you they will take him back to get his weight you can watch if you want personaly i dont know why people want to see that but if you want you can and they have a syringe they fill with beuthansia its a pink colored liqued it is very thick. the will have an assistant roll off the vain to make it larger. and while this is happening the dog will not feel a thing then they stick in the needle and slowly inject it in. the dog will feel sleepy and will lay down they will put some more in and it will fall asleep. there is no pain at all and in some rare cases the animal will shake but that not cuz its hurting it just nevres. euthanising something is jsut an over dose of anitesia. i wanted to tell you the process cuz its alot easyer that way and i recomend not watching it it can be extreamly sad.and im sorry for you future loss.

When my dog was put down it was because she was very sick, and I had to take her in all by myself. I felt terrible, but I reminded myself that they're only here for a short time, and during her time on earth I gave her good food, good vet care, and lots and lots of love. In return she was a good friend to me, and I'm grateful for the time she was here. Then I got a new puppy, and chasing after him all the time helped me heal. He's not like her, but I love him just as much, and he's a great friend to me too. He's four years old now, and I can't imagine life without him. You will heal, and if you get another dog that will really help. In the meantime, write your dog a letter telling him what he meant to you, and put it away in a drawer. It's good to get your feelings out, and several years from you'll find it and read it and you'll smile and remember him with happiness.

Oh my. You were so blessed to have him for 19 years and 10 months. It wasn't long enough though, I know. It never is.

easily and often breached. Unable to accept its awful gaps,
we still would live no other way. We cherish memory as the only certain immortality, never fully understanding the necessary plan."

"Separate Lifetimes" is a wonderful collection of incredible short stories. I hope you read it.
Take care.

Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....

I'm so sorry. That sounds like a nice full life to me. I bet he was a great dog. I know it's hard to lose a pet. To lose a friend, but when you're ready try opening your heart and home to another needy animal. They'll never fill that gap, but maybe you can love another dog just as much as they'll love you~this is a story/poem that a friend gave to me when I lost a pet. I hope it helps heal.

I'm really sorry Justin. You must be a great owner to have him so long.
I wish I could think of something that would make it better, but there isn't much. I hope you will get another dog at some point and give them as wonderful a life as you gave your boy.
He'll be waiting for you at the Rainbow Bridge.

Wow. He had a long life, and I know that doesn't make it any easier, but you were lucky to have had so much time with him. I am so sorry to hear he's not here for you now. "I'm sorry" just doesn't seem like enoguh though, because I understand the pain you are in with his loss. Know that grief is normal, and let yourself mourn. Try to remember all the fun times you had with him, and let the joy you shared ease some of the pain of his loss. Again, I'm sorry.

oh i am so sorry!
i would love to give you some kind words but i think whatever i say will not help. it won't take awy the pain of losing your dog. the only comfort i can maybe give you is that the pain does get less and you will be ok. try to remember all wonderful memories your dogs and you had together.
again i am so sorry!!
