We had to put my mother's dog down today... :-(

Hugs to you, your mom, and your brother.

It is an incredibly tough thing to go through. I'm sure it was so traumatic for your mom - 17 years, wow.

I'm so sorry. I've only experienced it once, with my old Tabitha cat - but yes, it makes for a very tough day. I'm glad that your mom & brother had you there. Shared comfort & grief really makes a difference, is what I found.

Peace to you all, & safe passage to Meggie. She's very fortunate to have had your family to love her so much. Take care.

and safe passage to sweet Meggie.

There's something about holding that sweet head and saying what they always long to hear, "You're a good dog" as they go.

You did what she needed. And it's so hard. Thinking of you all.

for the loss of your beloved Meggie. How lucky you had her so long, but it's never long enough though is it? (((HUGS)))

it's never easy to help them cross, but it's our final act of love for them.

my dad, sister and i sat with out big guy three years ago, i found it to be a calming and enlightening experience.

peace to you all

It's heartbreaking. I have always comforted myself by hoping there really is a Rainbow Bridge.

She lived a long and loved life.

My sympathy to you and your family on the loss of Meggie. I hope all the funny and good memories of her long life help everyone in this sad time.

I know the pain she must have felt after having to send her beloved companion to doggie heaven after so many years.

I had to put my Rottweiler down after 10 years. She had cancer and was just short of her 13th birthday. I still grieve every time I think of her, which is often, since I have her ashes.

When I say "I love you all...", I mean it...
