Friend I share your grief because we are dealing with the same problem...If it helps just remember that with animals as well as humans our bodies just give our spirits a place to live while on earth. Our spirits leave when the body dies and it is part of plan of a HIGHER POWER. Dont be sad.
I can feel your pain. Trust me I know how hard it is and then to have it happen at this time of year when all the holidays hit...I lost Dash, Jazz and Phoenix all at this time of year and one a year for 3 yrs So know I will be thinking of you and Bandit and hold you both in my prayers.
I'm so sorry - I had to put down my beagle in May and it is still hard to believe she is gone. I could have sworn I heard her snoring in her bed last night, to the point where I got up and looked. I think when a dog has been ill for a while, you're so busy taking care of them that the days blur into each other. And then later on, the memories haunt you.
I may have to do it this coming Saturday. I don't know. Monday, he barely ate anything. Yesterday he ate a little more, but today we're paying for it: non-stop diarrhea and vomiting and complete lethargy and depression.
He's not going to get better, so why am I delaying it? It won't accomplish anything. I'm comforted by his presence -- still warm and limber, his ears soft and silky, his eyes clear and blue -- but then he looks at me and I wonder if he's in pain...or if he's just DONE.

Sending you big ((((((HUGS)))))) during this very difficult time. Saying good bye to a dear friends is never easy but is something we are all faced with sometimes many times in our lives. Sit quietly with Bandit and I am sure you will know which it is.
I'm so sorry about Bandit. Sending you my condolences. I know this is a painful time. Grieving is HARD work!
