I Hate This

We are going through a similar situation with our lab, almost 14 now. It's so hard to see them going downhill and (it seems sometimes) hurting, and knowing that we are limited as to what we can do; besides showing them that we love them and give them the very best care that we can. Trying our best not to let them suffer and make them feel safe and comfortable. It sure does hurt sometimes, to love them so very much.

And we had to put her down today. Took her to emergency; difficulty breathing, coughing up phlegm. Found out about a large tumor in her belly. We will miss her. Best dog ever.

My sympathy. They don't live long enough, but you really can't pay back all their love with suffering. Once the suffering starts and the quality of life is gone, it is the loving thing to do,

I know that your decision was based upon what was the best for her. But, dammit, it is hard.
