I dread the day I have to put one of my pets down (I've got a few more years till I need to worry about that).  I've had to deal with losing dogs when I was growing up and that was hard, but that was in my parents hands.  The act of taking the pet to the vet for it must be gut wrenching.  I'm sure it was never easy for my dad as he's owned many dogs over the years.  The last one he lost must have been one of the worst as his 100lbs yellow lab of 13 collapsed during some ball fetching in the back yard.  My dad laid with him for about 10 minutes until he passed.  It's never easy.

I can relate Flotsom, put our old Shepherd/Retriever mix down 2 years ago.  I can still remember holding him as he tried to jerk away from the poke of the needle and then he faded off.  His eyes drooped closed and he hung limp but it was for the best as cancer and hip dysplasia had really taken a toll on him.  We had gotten a Shepherd mix the year prior and he'd gone downhill ever since, with the new puppy he was the old man and he showed every sign of it.

Our cat of 13 years is probably soon to go as well, and another one of the dogs is getting on in years as well.  Seems you never spent enough time with them when their gone.

All my best for you and your daughter, Red.
