Final Dog Day’s

[Zag]

I vividly remember picking up Remi to surprise our 3 year old son on his birthday almost 10yrs ago. Every boy I think needs a dog and although Remi was a girl dog she sure acted like a boy all these years. 
She been the typical great lab all these years who has given us such a great experience all these years I hope she feels the same about us. We have all loved her so much especially our son. I could go on and on with great memories! Remi’s health has been going down hill the last yr. First her eye sight started deteriorating  about 2/3 years ago and it slowly got worse to the point she doesn’t have much sight at all. She also had a growth start in her mouth last yr, it started real small and got huge in a hurry. Now it’s so big is engulfed her front teeth and lord knows how she still wolfs her food down. After numerous different vet options and potential costs to try and remove it we decided to put her on some meds to hopefully make her feel better for as long as we can, that was almost 2 months ago. She continues to decline and this growth just keeps growing wild. We’re going to finally put her to rest after thanksgiving before we move.
I think I’m gonna give her one hell of a meal the night before, steak, potatoes a desert, something fun as she loved food!  I’m not looking forward to how our sons gonna handle this, fortunately we have another lab so that should help. Here’s a couple pics my son took yesterday.

Really difficult situation.  I’ve put two dogs down and one cat......

Good luck Z

Such a difficult time Zag. I’m afraid I’m not to far behind with my black lab. Her health has deteriorated substantially over this last year. Hearing and eye sight are going, back leg muscles are weakening etc. she’s just an old dog getting to her last days.

I wish you and the family all the best in the difficult time ahead.

Sorry to hear. Gonna be tough going for awhile! We just had to put down our 18 year old dog 4 weeks ago today. She had kidney and liver failure, barely ate, lost 1/3 of her body weight in 2 months, partially blind, and you could just see the sadness in her eyes. We were crushed, but felt we were being selfish hanging onto her for ourselves, knowing she was suffering and would only get worse. The house felt empty for days, but we all knew it was the right thing to do and she wasn’t suffering anymore.

So sorry you’re going through that. We’ve had to put two down. It’s heartbreaking. Take comfort that you gave her a good life and she loves you for it. Enjoy every minute with her!

They are a big part of the family not just a pet. Sorry to hear this...

[Lomax]

Sorry to hear that Zag.  I have had chocolate labs over the years they are like family members.  Enjoy your time with her she will always hold a special place in your families hearts. 

[UpStateRedNeck]

There's nothing that makes it easier, sorry man.  Just take comfort from you gave her the best life she could have had.

[Robhuntandfish]

Think I've got dust in my eyes..    

They give so much, and ask for so little... 

[NYBowhunter]

Sorry for this situation,  feel bad for your boy. Sometimes people get caught up in selfishness and keep our pets strung along for our own needs. You my friend are making the right decision in putting your pet first and your feelings second.  Just take comfort in the great life you and your family gave to that lab. Prayers sent.

always very hard..  I lost my English Springer almost 2 years ago and I still find myself waiting for him to greet me when I walk in the door from work..   when you get a good one it is great until they leave you and then it just plain hurts..   sorry!!

[grampy]

I feel good dogs relate to us much better than most humans. So sad when we have to say goodbye. 

Remmi will be waiting for you all, tail wagging, over the rainbow bridge.

Hardest thing to do . My heart hurts for you. Big hugs for you and your family . 

[cdbing]

Well today’s the day, within the hr, wife and I are not looking forward to this one. I made her a good human food meal this afternoon for her last meal and she loved it! Sadly it’s time :-(

[46rkl]

No good words for this....there is just no love like a dogs. 

[mowin]

RIP Remi. 

Sorry for your loss Zag.  

[NYBowhunter]

That's sad on every level,  been there before, its not easy. Be strong brother.

[JALA RUT]

So sorry to hear. Happy travels over the Rainbow Bridge Remi.

Feb 1 will be 3 yrs for my little buddy Colby and still miss him dearly. Got him as a puppy at 2 months old and he was 16 yrs and 3 months old when we had to put him down. It was such a hard decision but the right one for him.  Never had the heart or ability to replace him...I just couldn't. They truly are family.

[Steuben Jerry]

So sorry Zag. Hope it's very peaceful. Hold her gently, she knows you love her and she knows that someday you'll see her again. 

Damn, I have to wipe my eyes.

[Fletch]

RIP Remi
