She'd lost almost half her weight in the last 3 months and had started walking around aimlessly and would sometimes even get stuck under the furniture in the kitchen and start panicking. I'd like to think she had a happy life with us and now she's up with her old buddy Maja running around like her old self. RIP Scooter, we'll always love you.

sorry for your pain and loss skinsfanthru.

def ease their pain when the time is right.

ive had dogs i didnt put down and it is heartbreaking to watch them wither away, not eat, get dehydrated, cant walk etc. my husky i would lay next to on the kitchen floor bc he couldnt move anymore. i didnt put him down bc i could see in his eyes he still loved me, knew i was there when i would hold and pet him. i thought i was giving him comfort, and i was for the time that i was right next to him, but looking back, i was being selfish.

life lesson learned. think long and hard, educate yourself as much as possible, then make the tough/right decision. something i can never take back. i cant go back and make it right.
