Tomorrow will be a shitty day, just get through it.
The fact you care enough to stay with him tonight shows he´s had a good run with good people, take comfort in that.

Wanted to type more but can´t.

Furry children rock. End of.

Time is a healer ... it really is ... but be sure to keep your favoured memories close to heart. Always.

Feel for you man, know what it's like to lose a furry friend. I'm dreading the day I have to say good bye to my dog as he's my best mate.

Chin up dude

You loved him, so he lived.
Bet he had great time with you.
Pity they don't live as long as us.
It's great he has you to help him on his final day.
Thinking of you.

Sums it up perfectly.

I know what you are, and will, go through 🙁

Very sad to hear but as others have said you can do no greater thing than be there at the end.

Yes, take comfort in the knowledge that he was a very lucky dog, with years and years of kind ownership and loyalty at your hands.
Millions of dogs don't get it as good.
He's been a happy dog and will remember you so in doggy heaven.

I feel for you man. It's a terribly hard thing to do but ultimately in this case it sounds like the right thing.

He was there for you when you needed him, He needs you now, he's got nothing left to give. It is the last gift you can give him, an end to the pain. He'll thank you for it. And you'll feel better for helping him. Thanks him for the good times.
I feel your pain - it's not about you right now it's all about him AND you.

Be strong, as he was strong for you, through good times and bad a question never asked eyes sparkling in the sun a tail wagging each time he'd be offered a run..............

Man doesn't that dust just get everywhere!

We had 3 springers. 2 we had before the kids were born. They were absolutely part of the family, 100%. And we had one put to sleep 10 days ago - it was beyond awful. But, we actively talk about her, always about the 100's of good times, her character, her daftness. It's still grim, but we're smiling and fondly remembering. We know it was the 'right' thing to do, but it's so tough. Keep in mind all the happiness between you - it's helped us.

Wanted to respond yesterday but couldn't.

We had to put both our Springers to sleep last year. Molly, the youngest was 7. She had liver failure. She died the day after my 40th. My wife was convinced she held on till after my birthday. It was totally unexpected and so quick as Oscar, who was 15 when he was put to sleep was every bit his age in his body but not in his mind and we thought he'd go first. The poor old sod was incontinent of urine which we treat with a home made cumberbund and Boots urinary incontinence pads (highly recommend). He could only walk a few steps in the end, couldn't poo without one of us holding him up (otherwise he would sit in it).
We were being selfish as we lost Molly unexpectedly, we kept him going. I used to look at him and feel so shit for doing it to him, he just looked so tired sometimes. We knew the time was right and we were just being selfish, he loved nothing more than going for a walk and he couldn't even do that.

What I wanted to say is, just as many others have, you've done the kindest thing for your dog, it's being a good RESPONSIBLE owner. As also mentioned, you will feel a sense of relief. It won't make you feel any better but there will be that sense of relief that your best friend isn't suffering any more.

😥

Bon Courage bullheart.
It's the right thing to do. The kindest thing to do. The toughest thing to do.

He'll always be there in your heart.

Hold him close until he's gone, until he's free.

Bon Courage.

Sitting here reading this and my eyes are a bit full. Also sitting next to me is my Jack Russell which I rescued and she's 7 and I look at her and so wish I'd had those 7 years with her as she's just my best friend ever and I love her to bits. Really don't want think of the day she goes from our lives here but i truly hope it's a long long way off form today. Hope everything went well today and chin up and remember all the good times like those before have said.
