Lost my bestfriend today...

[-The Stig-]

I just had to put my 7 year old dog down due to cancer today.

January 2000 - June 2007



That was the hardest thing I've ever had to do.

Period.

Bye Annie.



So, just wanted to share because I might be gone offline for a few days. Maybe, depends on how I cope. Didn't expect it to be so hard.


Later guys.

Sorry to hear that. It really sucks to have to put a pet down. I remember my last dog had to be put down when I was 14 and she was 14 as well. I was only a few months older than her and had grown up with her for as long as I could remember.

I know how hard that is. My experience with that actually happen to fall on my birthday. It was a crapy day. Take your time man and we'll see ya when you get back.

Sorry to hear that. I had a cat for 17 years, and watched it being put to sleep in front of me. Don't think i've cried like that ever.

It's amazing how attached people can get to animals.

I have been through that twice so far. Once when I was 7 and again when I was 16. Its never easy. My condolences, truly mans best friend.

I cried more when my cat was put to sleep then when my fiancé broke off our engagement. I still get a little upset whenever I see my pic of her. *sigh*. Take your time man, we aint going anywhere.

i lost my dog when i was 11 and another when i was 18
both german shephards. i had to have my dad put him down, i couldnt do it...i couldnt even go to the vet

i'm now in the stage of getting ready to by another dog. a buddy of mine in the 3000gt section introduced me to the rhodesian ridgeback, and i'm kinda stuck on that dog.

i'll be getting a puppy in a few months

ah, thanks guys. I'm better now, I feel fine, still upset but that's to be expected when you hold your bestfriend as they slip away into nothing.


I cried like a baby when I got home, held it together just long enough. Funny how that works... get so attached to some random animal. When my Grandpa passed away from Cancer I was sad, but didn't cry. My dog Annie... man, I went from zero to wussy cry baby in like 5 seconds.

haha... strange thing.


Thanks guys.

i didn't have to put my dog to sleep, but my pure bread pitbull, Misty, ran away when she was about 5 years old. i know how it feels, my condolences.

sorry to hear about your dog

[Chiquae07]

i feel bad for ya man. my gramps and gandma passed from cancer from smoking, i diddnt cry or anything. diddnt really know them to tell the truth.

i say that i dont really care about the dog in my house, as he gets annoying after awhile, but idk how that is all going to change. i dont really want to know yet either.

you can always get another one, same breed and everything, but change the name and get a different color. you'll know how to raise em, and what works and what doesnt work. but it wont be the same.

I feel for you, thats one of the hardest things to go through for some odd reason. On a lighter note what kind of dog was she? I am getting a puppy in a week or so that, when in adult form, will look dead on like Annie does in that picture.

My best friend was put to sleep in april, just 2 weeks shy of her 13th birthday. She had arthritis and kidney failure. The night prior she had weakly crawled onto my lap and stared at me as if to say she was ready, the next morning I had carried her to the vet and she was put to sleep. I still cry when someone mentions her in my house and so does my other little dog.

My family lost our dog, Luke, earlier this year. It was sad. We found him by the river with a broken neck. We had to carry him back home, and we laid him down. It made it really hard to look him in the eye while he was in pain. He passed on later that night. He was with our family since 1988. Almost 20 years old.

It was almost like losing a close family member. No dog could ever replace one like him. Still makes me sad to think about him.

Glad to see you're coping with things Matty. I'm going to miss Annie as well.

Lost my cat three weeks ago, had him for ten years, its depressing....especially when they're the greatest cat that ever lived. I sent you a text...
