Nothing works any more. He cannot stand, he cries when I try to help him up, and there is nothing left on his back legs. I'm going to sleep downstairs with him tonight, and then call the vet out tomorrow.

Broken-hearted. I don't think I'd have beaten cancer to this point without him. The most loyal friend ever. Tonight I carried him outside to look at the night sky one last time, like we used to do.

Oh mate. Honestly you are going to do a good thing and despite how awful you may feel its the right thing for your friend. I still miss my lad having done the same but it's the final act of love and friendship for him.

Never easy and familiarity with the process doesn't help either. Mine always go out with their collar off. All the best for tomorrow.

Dude, gutted for you. I was so lucky that my childhood hound pretty much just kealed over from healthy. Sound like he had good innings, still horrible though. They leave such a massive gap. thoughts with you.

I can't say anything to make this hurt any less for you but I really wish I could. Sounds like you're making a selfless but difficult decision though.

Both me and the wife are sat here now, welling up and giving some extra fuss to our pooch.

I had to get our first dog put down two years ago and our cat eight years ago. It is one of the worst things you have to do, but it is the last thing you can do for them.

We have two great dogs now, it is much easier when you get another dog.

Hope you get through tomorrow alright.

You know when it's time, very tough though

Take him out to see the dawn tomorrow also. He sounds like he's had a good time, he's helped his master and you are with him at the end. IME that's pretty much all they want.

Just walked in from making a cuppa to find my wife with tears in her eyes. She said "don't read the thread on STW, you'll know which one" 🙁

Really really feel for you, it sounds like you are doing the right thing for your dog though so take some comfort from that.

So sorry for you mark. You are his best mate and he knows you would do anything for him. Even this.

You made me have a little cry by the way.

I know tomorrow will be a hard day, but you can take great comfort from doing the right thing for him, now as always. you can tell a lot about people from how they treat their pets...
