Tough day... sorry

Sorry to hear that.
It's been 2 1/2 years since we had to put our 13 year old German Shepherd Dog to sleep due to a tumor on his spleen. Hardest thing I've ever had to do. Not sure I'll ever get another dog.
Just know you did the right thing by your friend by not letting him suffer.

Best way I've ever heard it put:
Our dogs (or cats, or any other pet) bring us the best days of our lives, and one of the worst.

Sorry for your lose, Basil. We've had to do it more times than we wish, never easy.

Sorry to hear this, Basil. Always a miserable thing.
After my lad Merlyn passed (the face in my avatar) I vowed there would be no more pets in the house. Too hard to see them go.
We do have three "occasional" cats, abandoned by neighbors when they left their house to foreclosure. The cats were roaming the 'hood, hungry and skinny, so we've kept them fed and treated. Fred, Ethel and Lucy now.

After losing one of my labs a short time back, my vet said quietly that we had no idea how hard it was for him.

What an awesome feline dude.
I'm so very sorry to hear about your loss. My deepest sympathies.
Having been through it very recently ourselves, I know there are no words to describe the feeling.
As much as it hurts to say goodbye, we know that that we were able to make their lives so much better than they might have been.
Take care.

I'm so sorry to hear of your loss Bas. You have my deepest condolences, it is never an easy thing losing an animal but having to put one down is so terribly hard.

A few years ago, when we still had them, my parents would come to visit. We had 2 small dogs at the time. The first thing they both would do was sit down and get a dog in their laps. Only after a suitable amount of puppy patting and such would the "visit" begin. We always figured they really came to visit the grandpuppies anyway. Dang, now I really miss all 4 of them.
