I've had to take so many of my elderly dogs to have them put down. It's never easy. It kills me every time. I stay in the room with them the whole time. I figure I owe that to them. Years of friendship and love deserves everything I can do to somewhat comfort them. I have so many urns that I actually need to buy something larger to put them on.

This is me. The last 2 we lost, I held them while they got the shot. I wanted the last thing they saw to be me doing what we did every day of their lives. There is nothing better than a loving dog.

We had the urn but I couldn't really deal with looking at it every day and I didn't want to shove it in a closet. We decided to dump the ashes in Mobile Bay at the spot where she loved to swim. Kind of cheesy but I'm glad we did that.
Someone once told me that losing a dog is more impactful than a loved one that isn't in your immediate family. Not that a dog is worth more than a human, but a dog is probably more a part of your daily routine. That absence can be a little harder to ignore sometimes.
