Sorry to hear that. Very sorry.

Two of my last three dogs were scheduled to be put down the following day, in the afternoon, after work. And both times I showed up for work with that on my mind, and both times I checked in just long enough to check out and go home. The last one I had put down was failing, I took him into the vet to see what the vet could do, but made the decision right there to be humane, and put him out of his misery for him. I could have been selfish and kept him alive longer for me, a day or two, but I love my dogs more so. Ended his suffering because I could, for him, them.

One thing that might help? Did me. With all of my dogs, my buddies, my companions, I held and talked to and petted the whole time they were being put down from the start. From my perspective, they were always there for me. When I'd get home, tails wagging, they were always there for me. As their master that they always came to, I was there for them to sed them off into the next world, whatever that may be.

Good luck. I have two more right now, and Macy my golden, she's starting to get up there, and she's my girl. I get home, she's all over everywhere I go and move I make. I guess it has something to do with being kind to her after her original owners when she was a pup, beating and torturing her, hanging her by her hind legs and breaking them, literally. She walks a bit funny back there, but she's a happy girl these days. I don't make a move without her getting up to follow me. I will be there to send her out one day, darn it when that day comes.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in ... [Read Article]
