this hits close to home right now... as I may be close to having make the same choice... it sucks.
I deal with this everyweekend.. but when it comes to your dog.. it hurts like heck!
But being a good pet owner is knowing when to let them go, Its the best gift you can give your pet that has been loyal and faithful to you their whole life.
I too will be in this situation soon. My Chocolate Lab has cancer, started in her foot and has spread to 3 of her feet now. It's agressive and they could not operate since it was between the 2 middle toes (the balance toes) and she had already had an ACL repair on the back leg. Vet said it would be more detremental to amputate the front leg. We live day to day with her loving her up as much as possible. My other dog depends so much on her as he is a very timid and dependant dog. Guess we will see
Well looks like it's time this week. The beagle with Lymphoma is going downhill. Although the vet said it was not a painful type of cancer, the swelling of the lymph nodes must be painful to some extent.
He's scheduled for Thursday to be put down, but it may be sooner depending on how he is doing.
He's such a happy boy all the time, even NOW - that's what makes it so hard. That tail just keeps wagging .... this is going to be a really hard week for us all.
Not sure how the other dog is going to respond. She's always had the beagle as her buddy. She kisses him all the time.

Sorry you have to go through this. It's never easy losing a beloved pet. No matter how many times we go through this, it never gets easier. So Sorry Ark......your little man looks so cute. I know how hard it is, I had my girl put down last week, after 18 years together. Still crying, but I know she's better off. Prayers to you and your little guy.
for you too. I had a wonderful cat growing up for 18 years and the house was so empty without her when we had to put her down. Now we have a dog and a cat and I can't imagine how bad it'll be when their time comes.
back to you.
