My brother, who in all honesty in the forty seven years I've known, has never shown the slightest indication of possessing finer feelings is inconsolable. I mean, he wasn't like this when his marriage broke up!
What do the amateur psychiatrists on here make of mans' attachment to dogs? |  |

I stay with every pet we have put down, one of the worst days of my life was aged 16 and I was told having my Spaniel put down was my choice. I knew it was the right thing,I wanted to cling on but he was suffering. My father drove me to the Vet, we took the dog in and I wanted to stay with him but the vet said no, took the lead and dragged him...literally dragged him off, The poor boy wa terrified, crying, looking back at me and I could see it in his eyes. I tried to go but my father grabbed me.
Ever since then I have been determined that any pet of mine will get the same loyalty they give me. Ever since I was 16 have held every pet we have had to take a last journey with. My dearest hope for my current best friend is he goes to sleep one night, in his usual spot, with the same goodnight fuss he's had for over 11 years and passes quietly in his sleep. |
We had ours taken away by the nice vet.Couldn't face it Cat.
That said,Im still steaming here about the inference I was past it to have a full on dog.
Im going out cycling soon
Sea swimming soon too. |  |

It’s terrible but it’s worth it for the years of pleasure and unquestioning love. I’ve had three put to sleep in my arms over the years and it’s hard to bear. Wife cried pitifully last time and was far more upset than when her mother died the year before. Mind you, she liked the dog.
Always hope they fade away in their sleep but it never seems to happen. |  |

That's an awful story Cat.
I'm the same as you and everyone on here, when my boy goes, if it isn't in his sleep I will be with him. |  | | |

Yep, me to, horrible experience that doesn't seem to get easier no matter how many times you go through it. I'm able to rationalise human bereavement far easier than any of my dogs. |  | | |

I've never been through it TJ, I've lost both parents and several good friends and just like you I've got on with it but it scares me the thought of losing my boy. | | | |

I lost a friend when we were 19, my mother died a few years back and my father, though still alive is dead to me, I dealt with all those things far easier than I will when my best friend leaves me. | |

And that s the problem for me north. The love,the loyalty ,then the pain. I really could not stand losing a family dog. We ve decided sadly not to get a Malinois .
I might get some pussy instead | |
