I think I know how you feel Neil.
I lost my dog after 10 years a while ago. I still sometimes think of him and get very sad. There is nothing more wonderfull than a doggie's unselfish love.

You are getting an outpouring, aren't you? We all relate to this predicament. I had a mutt who was 19 when I had to have her put down (a strange expression just for animals) and I could not do it. I got up one morning to give her her usual half-can of Alpo and she stood there, not moving, looking at me and obviously unaware of me, herself, or where she was. I should have had her euthanized the year before, but hell, she still had everything important to a dog--petting, food, sleep, a warm place at night, and wandering around a big backyard she knew better than I did.
I called my wife and told her it was time. She always said that when it was time she would take the dog to the vet for me. Big old brave woman she pretends to be, she took the dog to the front desk and said, "It is time. . ." and started bawling so hard she couldn't talk and the receptionist had to take her and the dog to a "grief room" so she could compose herself.
My mother died last year and her little "peek-a-poo" died at 16 about six months later. She just kind of moped after Mom was gone. My brother had to have her put down and it was horrible. All ties with Mom were gone; the house had been cleared and sold and now the dog dies.
Yes, I sure understand your predicament. I tell you this in all seriousness: I will never again have an animal that I get that attached to. My last cat was 20 when she died, and if I got another pet I would have to write it into my will! From now on it's goldfish, period. It is not as if you can talk to a goldfish, for God's sake.
I would get a friend to drive my car with the dog to the vet and then bring you home where you can beat the living shit out of your roomie. That should help the grief somewhat and maybe even sober him up; they are strict about bringing alcohol into a hospital room (although I slipped my Dad a beer or two when it was obvious that he was never coming out of intensive care). None of my business, but I think you should keep the dog and take the roomie to the vet.
That is too flippant, isn't it? I take it back--unless it makes you feel a bit better.

Neil i'm sorry to hear this. putting down a beloved animal is so hard. i think most of us have been there. so we all can remember the feelings.
i'm sorry. it's sad news.
i'm sorry. it's sad news.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts and support. I don't feel quite so alone now. It's going to be difficult, but it makes it easier knowing she isn't in pain anymore. Her last X-rays showed some major arthritis going on and I expect she simply can't fight it anymore.
Again, thank you. I appreciate it very much.

elwood's been nervous and rickety in the hindquarters since i got him, a 7-year old greyhound/bull (brindle coat, beautiful animal). I really should get him the glucosimine/chondroitin supplements.
I'd always been a "cat" person - I don't know why I thought getting a dog would immunize me from the sort of pain i experienced at my cats' passing.
I'm just sorry, my heart goes out to you

Sometimes the most loving act is also the hardest on the heart.
The relationship between you and your drunk roommate doesn't matter. It's YOUR dog. You've cared for her. She knows that. Do the right thing by her no matter how much it breaks your heart.
Be there with her to say goodbye. Pet her gently and weep on her neck.
(Dammit! I thought I could type this without crying, but I was wrong.)
Take a cab home. Then, beat the shit out of your roommate for neglecting the most loving and loyal friend he could have ever found.
If you need money, just let me know. I'll help with the expenses and the cab ride home.

Hi Neil,
I am so sorry for your troubles. I've been through this decision making process 3 times and it is so dreadfully difficult.
There is a website that can be helpful called "Rainbow Bridge" at petloss.com/poems/maingrp/rainbowb.htm
With warmest wishes.

What a great idea! The one thing I can offer is money for the cab and the vet. Like Austin, let me know. This may sound silly, but I contributed to the cremation of my Mother's dog so that her ashes could be flown from the west coast to the east to be scattered on my Mother's grave. I once asked Mom (she was 80, I was 17 years younger) what she would do if she had to choose between me and the dog. She just smiled and then we both had a really good laugh together. I fear I lost hands down!

Neil, I am so sorry to hear about Sam. I know how important she is to you, and she has been so fortunate to have you as her "master."
There is no excuse for the actions of your roommate. He deserted her long ago. She may be his dog, but you should do what you need to do - his feelings in the matter were long lost by his behaviour.

Sweetie.
I couldn't even open this thread for 24 hours at least, 'cause I know I'd
'lose it'.
(And I did.)
I can't really add to what has already been said here, but you know deep in
your gut what the right thing to do is...
I had to put down my 19 year old cat last year, and I still 'see' him everywhere...But, deep as the sorrow is, thinking of him suffering is even worse.
Faith, warmth and light shine down on pet lovers, and all I can tell you is to
bask in the glow of knowing you care deeply.
Pets come into our hearts, provide them with joy, then break them in two.
Do the right thing.
Josh

Neil, I am also a BIG "wuss", for I too would NOT open your thread; just like Joshy ^^^!
Since you've been Sam's care-taken in sickness and in health and have seen her thru hard-times without her owner to do it, I think "IF" you can find it in your heart here too, that YOU should be the one to hold her while the vet gives her the injection to end her pain once and for all....
I don't know if you've experienced ending a pet's life via a shot; but it only takes seconds to act and they show NO adverse reaction; ie, like pain or anything......the Vet says they feel NO pain, so I think this is the best re-course for Sammy!!
Please, do not allow her/him to continue hurting, K?
I think you are one helluva good person to take-over and take care of Sam, when she was obviously left un-attended, for the last 12 years....so in reality, she is really yours by proxy and she certainly loves you and trusts you to do the right thing for her....
I held our 15 year old poodle back in 1992 while the Vet ended his pain....it nearly killed both my Partner and I; but Josh knew we loved him and we would do the right thing for him........and we did! Our emotional desire to keep him alive; while he hurt really bad, was NOT the thing to do; so we gathered our strength and put him to his eternal rest!
Niel, please take Sammy....however you can get him to the Vet and put him to sleep........please?

GSDX, I just wanted to add my little voice to the chorus of the past days and offer you my sympathy with such a tough time and such a big loss looking you in the eye.
I have recently lost custody of my own dog Watson, who's picture I have posted here in the past. My partner and I went our separate ways and because of his sensitive nature we decided that ashared custody arrangement would be too stressfull on Watson and possibly reignite his past digestive problems.
Needless to say I am bereft.... I am a mess evreytime I see a neighbor walk by with their dog. I feel the tug every night I come home from work and realise there is no one to walk, no poop to scoop, no patch of grass with a tantilizing scent that must be explored just a little while longer. I wake up at night and I don't hear the little breaths, can't watch him running and barking in his dreams, don't feel the constant and reasuring pressure of his little body against mine. I sit with the television and scan the floor for toys, which have now gone missing for the last time.
Watson, I know, is alive and well. Still playing with his buddies, still taking his walks and patrolling my old kitchen for accidental treats. In a strange way, while it makes me sad to know he is off limits to me, I take comfort in knowing he is cared for and loved by a man a trust.
I extend to you, GSDX, my heart felt sympathy for this toughest of situations you face. You are in my thoughts and I hope, in some small way, there is some measure of comfort in all these postings by so many.
Be courageous, and may this be as gentle as it can be on you and your companion.
