[QUOTE="CatDaddy, post: 367164, member: 755"] So very very sorry for you bud. There is no shame or softness in crying over your best friend. I absolutely sobbed uncontrollably when I lost my last lab. He was like my own child. Zack had bone cancer and there was nothing we could do but wait. We made every moment with him a conscious effort to enjoy and make memories. We made a "bucket list" that all of us contributed to and crossed things off as we experienced them with him. One last fishing trip in the boat, various foods, visits to his favorite places..... The time came when we knew and I made the dreaded appointment. The morning of his last day we fried him bacon, followed by a steak in the grease. We spent the morning in our backyard while he enjoyed his meal, said our goodbyes, and I took him to the vet. Like Kurt, I sat with him while he went to sleep. My kids were 7 and 11 so my wife took them into town to find something to take their minds off it. Hardest morning of my life. I sobbed the whole way home. In fact, it brings a tear to my eye as I write this. I only share to let you know you're not alone. Those of us who have experienced this know how hard it is. Prayers sent. [/QUOTE]
