The time has come...

I broke down and cried like a baby when I had to put down my 17 year old lab. The dog had been my friend since I was in second grade.

 I just couldn't help it and had to run out of the vets office.

I was crying like a baby too...in fact I started to hyperventilate and almost passed out.  My wife and kids were in Canada visiting her parents...they flew home the next day because the wife knew I was going to be a mess and was going to need all of them for support.  

He was a member of the family, not a pet..no question.

Makes me tear-up just thinking about it.  Hang in there Deja...it will get better with time.

Post a pick so we can all pay our last respects.

Deja, I'm sure many of us can relate.. I know I can.

We all know, as you do I'm sure, that it was the best thing you could have done for him... to be there for him at the end.

I'm sure both your lives were richer for having him.
