An appointment with hell

I can't imagine how hard this is on you and your family, but I know how devastated I was when my dog got sick and we felt helpless.

Luckily my old fat dog is still with us and on medication for the rest of his life to keep him healthy.

My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Sorry to hear, Carlos. I've lost a few dogs and it's never easy.

Continued many thanks to all.
It truly means a lot.

As the time nears, there is no doubt in my mind nor heart of doing the right thing. He has deteriorated in the course of the day like one would not believe.
I don't see him lasting a couple of more days and not what he deserves.
The vomiting is now quite regular and he moans in pain each time.

While it doesn't ease the pain, it certainly eases the uncertainty of wondering if I am doing the right thing.

My heartfelt condolences Carlos. I lost my dog a couple of years ago and I can still completely sympathize with your pain. Just rest assured you are doing the right thing.

It is now over.
He is hopefully in doggie heaven at this moment.

It was the toughest thing I had to do other than witness my mother in law's passing.

What made it a bit easier on me was actually Champ himself. He would always shiver the whole way to the vet or groomer. Always, without an exception.

Today for the very first time was that exception. His calm was surreal. Almost as if though he knew he would soon be at peace. There were plenty of us there with him from the family and my wife going with me certainly helped tremendously.

It truly hurts to have lost him but I knew this day would come. I am going to work hard on focusing on all the great memories he has left us with to help console me.

Farewell my little grumpy old man as we lovingly referred to you.
R.I.P. Champ.
