I'm so upset.....UPDATED @ bottom..

OMG I am so sorry to hear the sad news. I'm sorry the vet didn't give you the space or time you needed. May time ease the pain and loss you are dealing with. Sending you many

I am so so sorry for your loss. I am bawling as I sit hear and read your update. I went through the same thing with my dog a year ago and it just brought all of those memories back. It was the hardest thing to do.
I can't believe the dr. didn't give you time alone. I remember with mine the dr. left but they didn't have me sign any of the paper work or pay up front so when it was all over I had to go out to the counter in front of everyone in the waiting room and the nurses crying hystericaly and snot coming out my nose (i know gross!!!) and then all of a sudden the nurse goes 'that will be $125.00 (or whatever the amount was) I was so PISSED. No sorry for your loss or here are some kleenex. Just wanted their money. I have never gone back to the vet since and I have another dog.
My prayers go out to you with many many hugs!!!

this is one of those difficult moments in life that most people with pets have to face and it is SOOO difficult..You did what was best for him so that he would not suffer anymore.....I am sorry you don't have anyone to help you through this time right beside you, but we are all hear for you......

Thank you ladies for all your kinds words, prayers and hugs!! It really mean't a lot to me coming home tonight and being able to read all the encouraging things you all have said.

Where would I be without my LIW ladies?!!


I went to see Max tonight. I signed all the paperwork to have him put to sleep and cremated (sp?)...I thought that the Dr was going to bring him into the room that I was in but he had me follow him into a small room where Max was in his cage. I was upset because he just stood there and watched me bawl my eyes out. He didn't say ANYTHING. I don't get it...why couldn't he of left the room??? I felt like I was being timed and was very uncomfortable so I hugged him for like 10 mins, said goodbye and left. Max looked so peaceful he put his head on my hand. He kept looking at me...and putting his head down. Almost like he knew what was about to happen. Im still completley devastated....I can't stop crying....

I am crying my eyes out just reading this post!! My heart aches for you sweetie!! Know that you baby is in a better place...where he knows no pain. I know you will be upset for a long time, but always remember all of the wonderful memories you had with Max. I'm sorry that the vet was a heartless a s s who wouldn't give you the time you needed.

Wow you just gave me the chills when you were describing what your dog was doing! At least you got to say goodbye to him. I just lost my dog a couple of weeks ago, out of no where, he was only 7. I totally understand! They are family! I am here for you!

OMG sweetie!! I am so so sorry! I went through the same thing and it is devastating! Please just try and remember that he is in a better place now and feels no more pain! You will always have him with you in your heart!!

We just had to put my dog down last friday. I am still going to fill her water dish and call for her when I walk in the door . I tried to just go and say goodbye and I couldn't just leave it at that. I went back the next day to hold her paw when they gave her the injection. I have to tell you it was the most peacefull thing. She didn't cry or fight it. She was asleep within 10 seconds (literally) of starting the injection and after they finished it they checked for breath sounds and she was gone. You did the right thing signing the paperwork. There is no reason for your dog to suffer. He now has no pain or suffering and is in a better place.

I went through this with my dog and it was the hardest thing I ever had to do.

I am so sorry for your loss. At least he is at peace.

I am so sorry

how heartbreaking.

Oh I am SO SORRY!!! They definitely should have brought him to you and given you some time alone - it's so difficult, even moreso if someone is there. I wish someone could have been with you and my heart truly 100% goes out to you. Max is in a better place now - feeling no pain - so try to somehow find a little comfort in that.

Coco has been gone over a month now and it's still VERY difficult - especially for FH - but we have his ashes in a nice urn and we know he's still with us in spirit. It WILL get a bit easier with time, but I know exactly how you feel!!!! Hugs for you! You had him for 14 years - Coco was almost 8 when he passed and it was devastating so I can imagine that having max for 14 years, it's even more difficult.
