Very sorry for you and your family. Our pets bring so much joy to us it is very tough to lose them.
We had to put down our dog about 4 years ago. He was a rescue that had been severely neglected. Loved him like a son. My wife just couldn’t go so I had to take him alone. It was horrible. Tears definitely flowed. But in that environment every single person understood.
Peace.

I was never a big animal lover until my kid brought home a lab/pit mix that was six pounds. Had fleas, worms, and Parvo. My free dog cost me $1800 the first week.
About six months later, some ******* stole my dog. I was bat**** crazy that whole week. I knew who did it based on the wife's sleuthing skills. I went to this guys house at 2 am in camo and armed to snoop around to see if I could see her. Nothing. Cops got involved, he got scared and dropped her off in my neighborhood where someone else picked her up. Long story short, we got her back. That was one happy day. The second ******* who picked her up kept her in an outside pen during a tropical storm we had here 3 years ago. She was nasty, but she was home.
I feel you pain man. It sucks and it makes me sick to think about my pain in the ass mutt not being around. She wakes me up every morning wanting her head rubbed. I tried to tell my wife she could wake me the same way, but no joy.
BTW, your wife is pretty hot. :)

A dog is the only member of the family who will never questions your motives, love you no matter how you treat them, and protect you to the end.
My heart goes out to you and your family.

I've had to put down a few. It's tough. We just go get right back on with the circle of life and get a new puppy. It doesn't make all the sadness go away but it keeps you busy enough to not dwell on it. Wish your fam the best.

That's terrible to hear Raz. I've got a 13 year basset hound rottweiler mix and I dread the day he passes. He is my shadow when I'm at home and is the best dog I've ever had.
I also just got my 1st lab, they are amazing dogs he basically is my 2nd shadow hea 2 years old. Hes so loyal he comes in the bathroom with me when it's time to do business lol. If I lock him out he sits at the door and whines. Great dogs the labrador bread are so I know it must be hard for you. Will most definitely put you and you're family in my prayers this week. I hate that he dont get to witness us beat #5 LSU that would have been special. Go Gators!!!

Each time I have had to do this, I have laid on the floor in the vets office and cradled them while crying my eyes out like a child. I don't see any difference between losing them and losing a human family member. Sometimes its likely harder to lose a dog because they are so close to you and you spend so much time with them. You are your dogs entire life and focus. They would lay down their lives for us. They give us their all. Im certain by the pic above that Triton was very loved and he had a fabulous life. He will be forever grateful and you will always have his memories in your heart. As soon as you can handle it, go find another one....they need us.

That sucks, prayers for you and yours. My buddy in Tampa lost his 13 yo golden about 3 weeks ago..........devastated. We have a chocolate and that labra-law is spot on. Only one missing is always take a dump within the first 100 yds of your daily walk, in the Neighbors yard.

My condolences Raz. It’s always easy to say “it’s just a dog” until it happens to you and your world collapses.
When we lost our first family dog, it was crushing, he died years too soon. My response was, “Thats it, no more dogs.” Until a few years later my kindergartener had a class project question, What would you buy if you had $100? And he said a dog.
That was 9 years ago, we have two.
