Lucy is in heaven now
 

Just finished putting my dog Lucy down an hour ago.

I have a friend who's a vet tech, and he came and helped with putting her down so her last moments weren't being freaked out going to the vet.

Lucy was a lab mix, and was 18.5 years old! She lived a long, happy life.

It hasn't hit me emotionally yet, but I'm sure it will.

Right in the feels :(

sorry for you loss :(

Very sorry to hear Mike. Glad you were able to have the help from a friend.

Sorry about your loss. I'm an animal lover too and I know how you feel.

Sorry, Mike :(.

Been there and I know what you're going through.

Terrible - but 18.5 years? Talk about a run! That dog squeezed it to the max. Sorry man.

Sorry man.

Thanks very much.

A lot is going on right now, this today, plus I'm going in for open heart surgery in a few weeks, but it's all good, nothing I can do about either.

My little Jack Russell (the other doggy in the pic) Skooter is taking it the hardest. She's confused.

Lucy did have a great, long, happy life, almost made it to 19.

Such is life.

This hits ME, right in the feels. At least you can rejoice in her long life.

This hits me hard too. I like my dog more than people most of the time. I hope my lab/bull dog will live that long of a life. She lived a great life and the memories are well worth it. Celebrate the life she had and the life you had with her.

This is from the day I got him to a year and a half later and hope many years left to go.

Sorry man. Losing a pet always sucks, but I'm sure you have tons of great memories. Sounds like she had a great, long life.

sorry:(

I had to put my dog down and it really really sucked. this was in 2009 and I still think of him.

he was very sick and I knew something was very very wrong when I was outside with him one night and he looked at me a certain way others probably couldn't understand because of the bond we had.

I'm an animal lover and can't wait to adopt 2 from the humane society when I get my house.

Glad you were able to have that much time with her. I bet it is a difficulty time. I am sure there are a lot of good memories. My thoughts are with you buddy.
