When did you last have to say goodbye to a beloved pet?

Our German shepherd had a major seizure this week and had to be euthanised. Vet says it was most likely a stroke or tumour in his brain. 17 years is a ridiculously long innings for the breed, but it still hurts.

    I’m sorry for your loss.  The last time I had to say goodbye was this last May.  One of my cats died.  It’s always hard.  I give my pets lots of love.  I just hope my cats are happy every day they have to sit on my lap and purr and I hope my dogs are happy every day they have for me to take them out for a walk.

    I'm so sorry for your loss.  I said "goodbye" to two of my sister's dogs.  I've never had to put a pet down, but I can imagine it's gut-wrenching.

  • I have sympathy for you.  I still miss my dog.  He was only nine years old when he died on 24 January 2007.  His name was Oro.  He was a Golden Retriever.  He was bitten by a poisonous snake, but by the time we brought him to the veterinarian it was too late.  I thought it shouldn't have happened because the snake that bit my dog wasn't supposed to be so far south of its habitat.

    My sincere condolences. Certainly a long life for a GS! 

    My most recent loss of dog was 3 years ago. I still miss her every day.
