It's gone different ways for me. in 2007 our 14ish year old Shar-Pei had a stroke, but sort of bounced back. He wasn't the same at all, but we hung on for a few months. In retrospect, it was time when he had the stroke, and if I could do it over again, it would have been kinder to put him down earlier.

My pug had a tumor on her neck that was inoperable, and I always said the moment she was suffering I was going to put her down. And I recall I did just that in 2021.

A few years after that, my last dog had heart disease, and he just wasn't ready to go. But he was suffocating from fluid around his heart, but had the spirit of a 3-year-old dog. It still haunts me to have had to put him down, but it was the kindest thing I could have done.

All three dogs were in the neighbourhood of 13 to 15 years old.

All the correct decisions. All of them.

It was such a hard thing to do, but it was the right thing. She wasn't doing well and was so anxious whenever I wasn't around. But man do I miss her little trills whenever I came into my office.

She was so beautiful, and such a sweet girl to me.

That is a sexy cat. I don't care for cats but I like that one. Thats like the Megan Fox of Cats.
