Posting in this subforum for one of the first times, because I am quite sad. Had to put my dog (Cooper) to sleep suddenly on Sunday. More likely than not cancer. Cooper would have been 10 in April, and we had him since he was about 3 months old. A force of nature, Cooper's only fear was the low battery of a smoke alarm. A lover of ice cream, peanut butter, tennis balls, and carrots. Present for countless life events, good and bad, great with my two toddlers, always up for car ride or walk. Smart, playful, and kind with a menacing bark which was the definition of all bark and no bite. The only time he ever became aggressive in his 9 3/4 short years was about 3 months ago when a larger dog approached my daughters, and I was proud of him for it - he loved them so much. He was a good boy. Above all else, even though it has only been a few days, there are so many things I miss about him: standing in the doorway, sitting on a couch, his nails tapping the floor and his collar jingling as he walks through a room, patting him on the head, and the loud and dramatic sigh he would make when he plopped down next to me at the end of the day after I put the kids to bed. My family is lucky to have had him in our lives. I miss him and always will.

What a king's fate for such a wonderful dog, to not just be adopted by loving owners but considered a true and valued member of the family. He left this world having known nothing but love, comfort and joy. You could not have done better by him <3 Thank you. He really was a good boy.

mercenarynuker posted:It's a sick and painful dichotomy between taking her home from the shelter and her roaming all over the car, to taking her to the vet wrapped in a blanket or tshirt so there's a familiar smell of us to comfort her as we go to say goodbye. Sorry does not really cut it here, but I am glad you were there for your friend.
