I am sorry that you lost your loving friend and family member. It is hard to say "goodbye." I have done it several times, and I cry every time. I think that is the only time I ever actually cry. I know it's stupid, but I sometimes talk to them, as if their doggie spirit is still hanging around.
@exexec I talked to him yesterday that if he's in so much pain, just let go. I was crying as I laid down on the floor with him while his head was nestled on my arm.
@1Dogma I'm glad you were with him at the end. I held my last two as they died. One was 13 and the other 14. Our current beagle is asleep in her bed by me in my home office.
@exexec I was with him all the time since the weekend that he started not to walk anymore. He didn't want me out of his sight. When I was upstairs, he did his best with his wobbly legs to climb up the stairs so I locked him in the bedroom, fed him there, hugged and talked to him.
