I had to have my dog, Mickey, put down yesterday. He had been bleeding from his nose, which started back in December, but was controlled with meds until this week. The vet said he probably had cancer, and the meds did no good any more. He also had been shot back in April of 2009, and had to have his left hind leg amputated. But he was a good old boy, and I will miss him.

What a fine looking boy and what great memories you must have after 15 years or so together...so sorry to hear of your loss, Jim, but hoping you take some measure of comfort in knowing you did the best you could for him and gave him a good home for a long time...a lovely tribute to a good friend.

Sorry to hear of your loss Jimbob I'm sure Mickey was a good dog, & will be missed by all the family. I never forget the pain it took to have my pet cat Poppy put down.

What a sweet and gentle looking pup, Jim. I'm sorry he is gone. I have dealt with those feelings after losing pets so many times. My dog has anaplasma, a tick borne illness that wiped him out at twelve, but he is fighting his way back and even discovered that he could make it over a four foot fence recently, only because the snow and ice that supported his 19 pounds was three feet high. We sure do become attached, especially since they don't require much from us in exchange for their faithfulness and loyalty.~~ I remember when Mickey had his leg amputated and I pray that he rests in peace.

Oh Jim, I am so sorry about Mickey. Our beloved pets become one with us, don't they? They ask so little and give so much. I learn the true meaning of 'unconditional' from my pets. Their departure from our lives leave us with their paw prints on our hearts......

Rest in peace sweet Puppy.....your work here is finished.

So sorry for your loss Jim. When we have pets that long they become family members and it is hard to see them go. There is a good poem about a dog passing written by a friend of mine on this site. Freedom96 is the user name. Check it out if you want. Take care.

My deepest sympathies, Jim. Went through this once myself and the definitive word for it is that it sucks. Buzzdog had heart issues that were treatable for a while but as soon as I felt he was beginning to suffer I took him to the vet one last time. It's our responsibility to take of them even if it hurts us in the process. You did what you had to do and it was the right thing, my friend. You have lost a dear friend but that doesn't mean you can't make another. You may have read this before but if not - here it is - The Rainbow Bridge

Oh, my heart goes out to you Jim. Just about the hardest thing we have to go thru. Mickey looked like a sweet old boy - you were lucky to have him and visa versa. Take care and I hope all the above kind words help a little.
I had a black kitty named Mickey and his kidneys went and I had to put him down, just once month before he was going to turn 21 !!! So I know what you are going thru. Big Hugs !
