Sorry, Min. Dogs make better friends than people. We treat them better when they're dying, too.
All we can do is cherish having loved them so much.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

Thanks for the kind words, everyone.
The decision wasn't so hard...Lady knew a day before we did that it was over and we'll definitely get another one. I have already let the Rescue's Placement Team know that we'll foster a senior dog if and when they need us. As long as the new arrival gets along with my male...and he gets along with everybody....the dog will never leave.

Sorry for your loss, Min.
The vet came to my place to euthanize my golden, Poppy. His kindness helped make a bad day bearable.
We have a Golden Retriever Rescue League hereabouts.

Min, (I hope you don't mind me calling you that) I am so sorry.
It's like losing a member of the family. *hug*

Very sorry to hear. It sounds like you gave her a good life in her last few years.
As an animal lover myself, I know how important our critters are.

Sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is never easy.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

Exceptionally painful watching a pet die.
No one envy's you today. I hope your sadness passes quickly.
