T&P needed - Saying goodbye to my sweet puppy tomorrow :(
renbee
member
When it rains, it pours...
About three weeks ago, we noticed that my family's golden retreiver, Casey, had a lump on the side of her snout. At first they thought she just needed a tooth extracted, but they then discovered it was cancer. They told us there was nothing they could do, and it would ultimately kill her. She's only 10, so I never thought we'd be saying goodbye to her so soon.
Over the last few days she has gotten very sick, and you can tell she is in so much pain. We decided it's time. Tomorrow afternoon she will go be a gaurd dog for our little November angel.
I don't think I can really describe the depth of sadness I feel right now. I'm hoping things can only get better from here.
Here's some pictures of my sweet girl. We will miss her so much.

I just wanted to let you know how sorry I am that you are going through this. For me personally I would want to be there to say goodbye and hold her as she goes to sleep. I lost my dog 20 years ago and I still think about him all the time.
@Aaren91011
I've actually had to put a couple of dogs down in my day. The first time I didn't go, and as soon as it was over I immediately regretted it. The second time I went, and though it was much harder, seeing my dog smile at me in her last moments as she wagged her tail brought me a lot of peace. Because she didn't have to spend her final moments alone, in a cold brightly lit room with a bunch of strangers, she left me knowing I loved her. (I am actually tearing up recalling it all). You and your family have been her entire world. She lived for the moments you walked her, petted her, played fetch with her, came home from work and greeted her. If you do not go with her on this last journey you will regret it.
All of that being said I am so sorry you have to go through this. I know that pets are not just pets, they are family, they exist not only within our four walls but also within our hearts. She looks beautiful, and as though she has lived a wonderful life with people who love her dearly. Sending lots of warm thoughts and prayers your way. I wish there was something else I could do and say to make it easier for you. ((((Big Hugs)))
*edited for spelling*
Many, many T&P to you.
I went and I'm glad I did, even though it was extremely difficult and I was sobbing the whole time we were at the vet's office. It's definitely a personal decision, I have friends that didn't go and they don't regret their decision at all. I knew I "had" to be there, both for my own sense of closure and saying goodbye, but also so I could be there for my dog in his last few minutes and hopefully help him feel loved. There's no right or wrong decision, it's just whatever you are comfortable with. It sucks regardless.
Again, I'm so sorry. Feel free to pm me if you want to talk more about it.

I unfortunately see this daily and it's never an easy situation. I personally put my own cat down and I'm glad I was there with her. Hearing her sweat purrs made it difficult but I wanted her to know I was there until the very end.
I think when owners are there with their pets, the transition is easier for them bc they aren't as scared. Their people are there with them.
I would definitely go for you and for her.
