Talk about a rough day and man it's hard saying goodbye. Now mom in the hospital

One of the Hardest thing I’ve went through is saying good bye to our little ones. It took a 5th to bury my first dog. Dang it was hard. It’s never easy even though it’s for the best. They only here for seasons of our lives. All of them play a part of our bigger story of life. We have all of ours in what we call “the hall of fame shelf” with pictures and some paw prints beside each one. More than I care to talk about. Dang little guys have a special place in all our hearts. God bless you in this time.
 
It's so incredibly hard bud. Had to put my best friend of 17 years down last July and I still tear up just thinking about him. Thoughts and prayers of peace and comfort to you and your family
 
Man I haven't had a rough day like this since my father passed away two years ago. I cried so hard and much I couldn't even drive home and me and the wife just sat in the parking lot until I felt like I was able to drive as she was crying just as much as I was. It still hits me here and there but we will be ok. We had to say goodbye to my little man Sig after 12 happy and fun filled years we had to say good bye to our little man. I guess it was meant to be as we went and looked at the new litter of puppies and you know they say the dog will pick you. Well this little monster jumped over everyone of his brothers and sisters and came right to me.

We gave him a good life and he got to travel around from Texas to FT. Knox, KY and he got to see and play in his first really good snow and he had fun in it. We then went to FT. Polk, LA and he enjoyed it there as well. When I retired we all moved back home and he was with us all the way.. Sig was always loveable, quiet and full of energy. That boy could eat and he kept the other ones in line. He was a great little boy and great little companion to have around.

He started having health problems and they started getting worse over time. We did everything we could when he started getting sick and we kept him up on his vet treatment and medications and did what vet recommended us to do to help him. He finally got to the point where he was hurting a lot more and crying in pain here and there and the medications weren't working that good anymore.
This morning we took him into the vet as he was feeling worse and had something else come up.

We had to make that very painful decision to do what was best for him with the way he was feeling. We knew it wouldn't be fair to him just to keep him here with us because we loved him so much.
It killed both if us to have to make that decision and to let him go but we know he is better off and he is up in heaven with his brother Trevor and they are playing with each other and they are no longer in pain.
Oh my brother, my heart cries for you and your wife. I totally under stand your grief. We become so attached to our pets and they become like a family member. They have the ability to receive love and give love thanks to a loving thoughtful Creator. I will keep you in you in my prayers!
 
i'm very sorry for your loss, i've been in that situation many times. i often think about how i'm going to dread the day that my current chihuahua goes, i've had her for 13 years and i'm closer to her than any of the others and love her more than most of my family members. i'd rather be around dogs then people any day.
