My poor In-laws had to put their 15 year old Schnauzer to sleep this morning. They are so upset. She'd lost alot of weight over the last week, and they'd taken her to the vet for xrays this morning. She had masses of tumors around her internal organs, and the vet said putting her to sleep was the best thing to do. Even though they know it's the best thing, it is still so hard to let go.
I imagine that they will eventually get another puppy since they still have a younger Schnauzer, and he'll be lonely now.

That's the hardest price to pay for having pets. So sorry, girl, she was a nice dog.

Thanks girl. She was a sweetie.

AWWWW that's so sad. I am so sorry to hear that.

Thanks, I feel so bad for them...they were both in tears today.

My sympathies. That is one of the hardest decision to make, but it was for the best. She's in a better, painfree place. {hug}

Thanks girl. *hugs you back* I know you understand how it feels. She had to be in pain, and now she doesn't have to suffer anymore.

I'm so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet, and to be the one to make the decision is that much harder.

Thanks sweetie. I felt so bad for my FIN, because she was really his dog, and he had to decide...and then take her. It is just hard to see a man cry like that.

I had to do that for hobbitbeagle just before Christmas - she was 13. It is a very hard decision to have to make because even though you know it is for the best, part of your heart won't let go. I still miss hobbitbeagle very much, but it isn't practical for me to take on the responsibility of another dog right now. But if my circumstances changed, I would do so in a heartbeat. I hope that their other dog helps to ease the pain for your in-laws.

Thanks for popping in, and commenting. I really appreciate it. :)

I'm so sorry about hobbitbeagle. *hugs* I had to put my 13 year old German Shepherd to sleep in November, so I know how very hard it is. I still have my two Pomeranians thank goodness. I hope that you can get another puppy soon.

Oh, that's terrible. My grandparents had to get one of their dogs put to sleep over the summer. She was a great dog. I used to share Popsicles with her all of the time. Oh, the good old days.

My condolences to your in-laws, though. Losing a dog is never fun.

Thanks girl. I'm sorry about your grandparent's dog too.

*hug* I'm so sorry. I know how hard that is. *bigger hug* Do you know the story of the rainbow bridge?

*hugs you back* Thanks for the hug. :)

Do you know the story of the rainbow bridge?
I'd seen it before, but this past Nov. when I had to put my German Shepherd to sleep, the vet's office sent me a condolence card with that on it. It always makes me tear up. *sniff*
