I lost my best friend this weekend.
I unexpectedly had to put down my best friend late Friday night. I couldn't have asked for a better dog than Morpheus, my German Shorthaired Pointer. He had just turned eleven earlier in the week. I'm usually not one to post something like this, but I thought it might help me get over it. Thanks.

Sorry for your loss. I know how you're feeling, did the same to my best friend, Chloe, my 13-1/2 year old golden retriever 3 weeks to day that you lost your b.f.

Yeah, its tough. I had to do that to one of mine last October. It was tougher than the
other two times I found one of my dogs dead upon returning home from work.
You cannot let them live in extreme pain if there is no hope that they will recover.

I am sorry, Ryan. GSP's are such marevlous friends. If only everyone in the world had those same two settings, Hunt and snuggle.

Damn, that's just a shame brother. Sorry to hear this. Hopefully you've got lots of pics and video of him to still put a smile on your face.

That's exactly right. When he wasn't running around chasing critters he wanted to be right next to you. That's what I miss the most.Blaidd Drwg wrote:GSP's are such marevlous friends. If only everyone in the world had those same two settings, Hunt and snuggle.
Thank you for the support everyone. I really appreciate it.

A lot of us have been through that one and know how you feel. Nothing to say except that you did the right thing.

So sorry, Ryan.

Sorry, Ryan. Dogs give us so much joy. And they take a piece of our hearts when they go.
Totally worth it.

Tough one. I still laugh at things one of my dogs had done 15 years ago, and only feel a little bit of a twinge on the heart strings

Condolences. It sucks to lose a family member (that's how I always feel about my pets).
