Hang in there, I know the feeling and what your going through... It just plain sucks and hurts. I put my 11 year old Great Dane down 2 summers ago and it was the first I've ever done something that hard. I picked him up 8 weeks after he was born, I even felt bad the first time I left him to go on vacation. It will get easier with time, for me I had to get out of my house for a few days as everything reminded me of him. Tearing up right now just thinking about him. Your not alone.

Thanks everyone!!!
It has been a hard long time coming for this day. Have know about his enlarged heart issues since last fall.
Vet says he has done great over the last 6+ months but the time was near on any accord.
What made an even worse day that in light of putting Teddy down we choose to put our boxer up for adoption as well.
We made the hard decision to go completely dog free Between work, family and such we felt the boxer home alone was not good and this being our second family dog to put down in recent years we did not want to go thru this again!
Our worked for the best, our Boxer went out to a Lady that runs a Nursing home. So She, Sugar, will go to work with her and be a Daily Aid at the nursing home! Talk about being overly LOVED!
The last two days I feel that I we will not get another dog at all. But when I am at home and it is so quiet and I miss them greatly that I think I want another dog
Thanks again! and I am so glad to be able to talk about it! And yes people do listen

Sorry for your loss, one thing that help me get through it when we put our Great Dane down, was my daughter made me a shadowbox with his picture, leash and collar and his favorite bone inside of it to hang on the wall.

OK, so the Boxer just lost his buddy and now his whole family as well? My Dogs will be with me, together, for as long as we are alive.......... Not just for good times, or when it's conveniant..... Forever.
