When you have your dog put down..

do you go in the the room with them or do you just drop them off?

I've never done it before, I have to either do it today or tomorrow because its kidneys are shutting down and its in some pain.

can't imagine it would be pleasant being in the room, but I have had the dog for close to 10 years.

 

Um... My mom has been in the room with our animals, but Ive never thought about it. I dont think I could be in the room. I would say goodbye before.

 

I actually went in there and was with my dog, he was really sick and I had to put him down, it was horrible but yet, I know I would have felt worse if I would have just dropped him off there and left because he was my best friend, just couldnt drop him off, wanted to be there to be with him...

 

i am gonna have to put my Powdy down soon because of breathing problems, and im going in the room and tell him i love him, kiss him and tell him he's pretty.. i wont let him die alone on some metal table like nobody loves him. he is my little chicken.. here's a pic of him..

 

I have never had to have an animal put down. I know I will be with Delaunay when the time comes though.

 

awww...hilder....you are such a sweet person.

 

id go in the room...

let the lil fella feel ok for the last time... i guess its a better death if he has someone who loves him around than some stranger

hard shit tho... im sorry holmes

 

Yea..

I'll probably be goin in.. that shit is rough though.

I didn't get a chance to do it when my last dog died when I was 16.. I was off at a football game and he had some sort of tumor I didn't even know he had explode inside him.

 

thanks. i dont try.

 

that's the best way to be. naturally sweet.

 

It is extremely rough, but it is easier to let go and grieve than if you would have just left your dog there alone...

 

i remember the summer of 2002 when we put down our malamute manitu...it sucks, it really does...some of my best friends have been dogs...

 

I'll be in there, Justice wont be long for this world seeing as her heart is huge.

 

I couldnt live with myself knowing i just dropped him off to die like a piece of trash. I dunno bout yall, but i love my animals. they are my children. ive had em all since birth, hell, i saw them be born. im gonna go cry.

 

Never Lose Sight Of The Fact That This Animal Has Given You The Best Love And Companionship They Are Capable Of........Do Not Desert Them In Their Final Moments........If You Can... Arrange For your Vet To Come To Your House So Your Pet Can Go To Sleep In Familar Surroundings........If This Cannot Be Arranged........Then Do Not Simply Drop Your Pet Off And Walk Away........STAND BY YOUR FRIEND........Hold Him And Say Goodbye........Do Not Be Embarrased By Your Tears......Vets Love Animals Too........They Understand........Then If You Are Lucky Enough To Have A Garden Area Where You Live.......Bury Them There........With A Simple Stone........Or Plant Above........To Remind You Of The Love They Gave....



Hope This Helps In Some Small Way....


Cheers Glen.

 

If my cat ever has to be put down...I will be in there with her. She would be scared enough without me leaving her. I need to be there to comfort her. And I will probably cry my eyes out, but that is par for the course...

 

yeah, we bough a sweetheart rose tree to bury powder under. his sweetness in life will continue after his death.

 

I had to put my dog down in the summer of 2003. Same thing as with your dog... his kidneys were hardly functioning and he was clearly in pain. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do, making that decision.. I had had him since I was little and he was just such an awesome dog. I went into the room with him and cuddled with him the whole time, it felt like he just fell asleep in my arms.. That was five years ago but after typing this I still sit here with tears in my eyes. But he was my friend and I loved him so much.

 

i had my first dog from age 5 to age 19. i was in the room with her in my arms petting her fur while they put her down. i cried more than i ever have in my life and i still cry when i think about it now. but i couldn't have just left her there to die, i needed the closure and for her to know i was there till the end.

 

I held him and was bawling and couldn't let go with my golden-long after he stopped breathing
With my pitbull I had to leave him because he was being pt to sleep for being violent and it was way before his time to go. I couldn't deal with it.
