When I was in HS I got a dog from the shelter, a purebred yellow lab, and he was only six months old. Living in the country in the Midwest it was like an old timey movie, running through the fields, chasing rabbits, and having a grand time. He was cleverly named Yellow, and as a purebred suffered from odd diseases. After a few years he started to develop arthritis, and then goiters. Recently I moved away from home with my fiancee into an apartment that didn't allow pets, and it wasn't long after that that he passed on from cancer. It was extremely saddening knowing that as his best friend, I wasn't there when he went. @Everyone: It's hard to imagine we're all human the way everyone tends to go off on one another here, but really, we all are decent human beings and we have to remember that.

I love dogs so much and I'm glad to hear that it was quick and painless, my condolence goes out to you!

Strange that someone listing a lost friend or family member wouldn't invoke such a heartfelt response. I think with pets, there are less emotional boundaries. They won't ever judge you, or take you for granted, so you give your love without prejudice.

I lost my pet snake a little over a year ago and still miss him. And I've had a rough month with my dog, Ranger, who's had some mystery illness and I've had to consider putting him to sleep several times. And it kills me every time. @storminmormon: that was absolutely beautiful. I hate to hear that, PS. I lost my pet snake a little over a year ago and still miss him.

My cat is getting up there in years, she isn't really slowing down much but I know her day is coming. And even though she's a total pain in the ass and I don't even really like cats that much, I will miss her. Through the worst times in my life, she was laying there next to me... getting on my nerves. Like everyone else said, it’s not stupid at all.

I'm sure you were a wonderful friend to her. My fiance and I had to put down our mouse last year in March. She had breast cancer. He and I cried like idiots the entire time. We got her on some pain medication about two weeks before she had to go. I was completely upset because I found her in the cage not moving and not remaining a body temp. I actually looked at my fiance and said, "I'm so sorry..." because it was his. I picked her up and was very surprised to find that she was still alive. The vet knew we didn't have the money at the time and were kind enough to bill us later. And they even stayed open an extra thirty minutes for us to get there. And she was a fucking awesome mouse. She was named TROGDOR for heaven's sake. >:C She never bit anyone ever and my cat never tried to get at her either. I can only hope my cat lives as long as Girlfriend did.

Losing a pet sucks. Looks like a wonderful snuggle buddy. Wow… this is the longest thread I have read in which everyone agrees on one thing. Losing a pet sucks. Looks like a wonderful snuggle buddy.

It's one of the hardest damned choices a pet owner has to make. You have my every sympathy. Ach, I’m so sorry to hear that. It’s one of the hardest damned choices a pet owner has to make.
