[Harvey Tank]

today I had to make a tough dicision. I had to put down my old friend a 10 & 1/2 year old German Shepard, CBOE! one of the best dogs I have ever owned. very sad around the house today. I will surly miss him.

all you dog lovers know the feeling.

I am very sorry for your loss. Dave

My sympathies to you...that's one of the most heart-wrenching decisions a pet owner can make.

I've had to do that a few times myself. Its hard to lose a true friend.

Sad day indeed. Take comfort in knowing it is best for your friend............Tim

I still remember the night three years ago that Sophocles went in to convulsions, and the decision to have him put down when the oncologist confirmed that pancreatic cancer had eaten his pancreas, most of his liver, and had spread to his kidneys and large intestine. No sign of any thing wrong until that fateful night. I still think of him often, and it is esp. difficult this time of year as we had him put down on Veteran's Day. One never forgets the truly special pets.

I know that was rough..my little girl pug is over 16...she is a sweetheat...her day is coming and I am in denial...she still play like a puppy but her sleeping time is lots more these days..

..Maybe hard for some to understand,but I believe that those that feel a close relationship,bond if you like, with a dog are people that I would probably like as a friend myself.We also had a German Shepherd dog.A truly bright,loyal dog and a good companion.After a long list of ailments and declining health,we made the decision to put her down.It certainly wasn't easy and it took us years to find another dog.We couldn't find a German Shepherd that we connected with and in the end found a rescue dog who although has questionable origins nevertheless has become part of our family.I'm truly sorry for your loss

It's so hard to do. Gets better with time.

My heart goes out to you. I have been there. I have two now that mean the world to me and my wife. Our best friends are never forgotten.
