had to put dog and cat to sleep
 

my cat fluffy was 20 years old and ive had him since I was 3. He was a stray as a kitten and we took him in. We had to put him down last week. He made it to 20 and couldnt jump or anything. it was just his time...

also had to put my dog bo diddley down. he became sick 2 days ago so we took him to the vet. we found out he had a disease where his body was attacking his red blood cells. Basically he had to be put down. He was a rescue dog we got. His previous owners never took care of him, and left him outside all the time on a rope. he was a little mean at first but lighened up when he knew people cared for him. we had him for about a year, and he was about 4 years old...

damn that sucks dude....and holy crap that cat lived for a long time...

you gonna get new pets?

sry to hear about that, good to hear about rescues though, we rescued my Pit which is illegal in DC, if she had been caught by the pound, they woulda put her down...

theres alota dogs still lookin for homes down here after Katrina...

ive still got my dog chewy

That sucks man, I hate looseing an animal after getting attached to them. My aunt and uncle has a cat that is 17yrs old, they got it a year after I was born, it's still going strong.

Thats a beautiful dog:beerchug:

srry for ya loss

Sorry to hear about that. I hate to sound like a wuss, but that's one of the reasons I haven't had a pet in a few years. You get REALLY attached to 'em and then something like that happens and it's not LIKE losing a family member, it IS losing a family member. You need to get "Chewy" a new playmate quick.

Oh man, im sorry to hear that. I dont know what ill do when my pups die, they are truly more family to us than some cousins and such. Its hard.

Matt:

I am sorry to hear about that. I just put my Lab down a few weeks ago...they are part of the family.

My best to you guys. I too have a cat that is about 16 years old and we just adopted an awesome 2 year old Goldendoodle. She is fabulous.

Good luck in whatever you decide to do.

Sorry to hear that Matt, I had to put my dog down last year because she was far too aggresive. Hope you get through it ok.

Always hurts to loose a family member, no matter what species. had my dobie "princess" put down last year, and got another little dog "sohie" that's 18 yrs old. She not doing well. but she might make it another year maybe 2. And we got our 1 year old beagle "Lucy". She's a trip, and a welcome member to our family...

that sucks i would be sad if i had to put belle to sleep. Sorry for your losses man, mine is like my kid i take her everywhere with me.

Sorry to hear about your loss.....I went through that 4 years ago we had to put my shephard/husky mix to sleep when he was 12...Hardest thing I have ever done...Took us 2 years to get another pet...Man i miss that dog...

Now we have 2 pure bred shephards, male is just over 2 years old, female is 2 years old..

I had a cat that looked exactly like yours. Same color and everything. Sorry to hear about that.

dang, that sux. I sure hope quincy lives a while!

I'll probably get a dog once I have a bigger house.

That sucks dude. I was very sad when we had to put our doberman down....:(

Sorry too man. I lost 2 of my cats last year. One was 17 and the other was 18. They were male and female and were like husband and wife. They always slept together all curled up on each other, bathed each other, always ate together, everything. The male starting getting really skinny so we took him to the vet and they were going to have to do exploratorive surgery on his kidneys. My parents didn't want to put him through that and figured he had lived a happy 18 yrs so they had him put to sleep. The female was so attached that they were afraid she was be so depressed without him that she would die soon so they had her put to sleep with him at the same time. My parents took them back to their house and buried them together. They are right next to my cat that I got when I was 5 that lived to be 19 but had to be put to sleep because of kitty cancer in her mouth.

wow I didn't know they came in feather duster versions, lol that looks like my friends cat, big pile ol fur!

I think about that every now and again, but hopefully my dog Pistolita will live until i'm in my 30's she's a big baby now, so hopefully that'll keep her younger...
