I knew this day was coming, but it's always hard. We will be saying goodbye to our Windy dog later this evening. She's 16 and has had a very good life and is just so old that the doesn't even get excited about treats. And food and petting have always been her favorite things in life. Besides chasing frogs.

I was bawling at the vets this morning, its such a hard decision to make. Now we're just waiting for the girls to come home from school (12 and 16 yrs old) so they can say goodbye, then the Big Guy and the 12 year old are going to take her to the vets. I feel like I should go too, but I know I won't be able to handle it and the 16-year-old doesn't want to go and we will be crying at home together.

Windy dog, great frog hunter, silly Brittany, I'm gonna miss her. She's laying on the futon next to me while I work on the laptop today. I just want to spend as much time with her and try to make her as comfortable as I can. OK, now I'm going to cry somemore.

She looks like a sweetheart. It has to be tough, even knowing it's the right decision. Good vibes, junkie hugs and lots of love to you, Beth.

Makes me sad to hear this. Even though she has had a good and long life. It is still very hard to let go and say good bye. I am leaking tears right now writing this, and I want to go home and see my Nadia. Again, I feel for you and family, it is a very sad day indeed.

I've never had to make this decision before and it's very hard. For a very long time it was me, my daughter and Windy. (those swingin' single-mom days -woo hoo). But as the vet was asking questions it was very clear that the time had come... she hasn't greeted me at the door in months, doesn't respond much to being petted, and now she's stopped eating.

It's going to be very hard on the girls and on our 6 year old granddaughter who lives with us. My boss called for something and I told him I was having a bad day and he was very sympathetic, said not to worry about work right now. That was really nice.

It is such a tough thing to go through... but you had 16 wonderful years with her so you have been very blessed.  I'll have you and your fam in my thoughts...

It's always so difficult to say goodbye to a beloved pet.  I'll be thinking of you and your family.

About 6 years ago, my parents had to put down our family dog.  He was also about 16 and we'd had him since I was in 2nd grade.

But when it's time, it's time.  In the end, even the dog most likely knows this.  As terrible as it was, my parents told me Max seemed ready to go when it was time.

It's been a rough couple of days, but I think we're all adjusting. Still forget that she's not here sometimes. but I am sure that the right decision was made. The vet told the Big Guy that she suspected liver failure. No reason to put the ol' gal thru any more.

Our younger brittany, Koda, is really taking it hard. Even tho Windy didn't play much, they were buddies. Again thanks for all the good wishes and support. It really helps.

Screaming, running, massive stones being trodden on by dwarves, drummers exploding. Horrible.

I only know everything if you ask the right questions.

Like Del said below, I am so sorry I missed this post.  I'm glad you got to spend some quality time with Windy and hope she's chasing all the angel frogs like a banshee.

Haven't been around lately and just saw this.  Pets aren't just animals - they're family.  I'm so sorry to hear.  ((HUGS))

I'm much better this week. It's been better, I know she's in no pain now and while we miss her, she'll always be in our hearts.
