Lost my good friend

[ToadHill]

Last week my 9 year old Bassett Hound, Frasier, was on his last leg with a failing liver. Two weeks before the vet said to take him home and enjoy his last few weeks. By last Friday he couldn't walk more than 15 ft without having to lay down and rest for 10 minutes.
We put him in the car and took him to the vets to have him put down. I stopped in town and looked the back seat. He had moved and was almost off the seat and on the floor, I parked and opened the door to help him into a more comfortable position. He looked up at me,let out his last breath and died.
It was almost like he knew how upset I was at having to put him down and he didn't want to put me through it.

Sorry for your loss.... I know you and Frasier had many great experiences together, and you were there for him when it counted at the end...

So sorry that you lost your best friend!

They always give you something to remember when they go, I know mine do and you never forget. Sorry for your loss, just try and remember all the good times you had, that way they're never gone.

The last thing he got to look at was his best friend. I know you're glad he's not suffering, but we miss 'em so. Hang in there.

My deepest sympathies, my friend...

A dog is a friend that is hard to loose. Some people say it is just a dog but they are more than just a dog. Sorry to hear of your lose.

I think most of us can understand the pain. It's really tough to lose a good friend like that.

I also am very sorry to hear about your loss. If there's one good thing you can take from this is that the two of you were together when he passed. That's the one thing that's always made losing a friend just a little bit easier to take.
