I am so sorry.

Bandit must be a very special dog because he has a very special owner.

I knew this was going to be a sad post and yet I still came in here, read it and started crying. I am so sorry.

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'm very sorry. If you posted a picture of him I would probably be crying.

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 am so sorry.

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 don't know if it's the end, or if sweet Bandit has a bit more time, but I am so sorry that you are going through this.
