I type this with a heavy heart, I had to say goodbye to my Bull Mastiff "Hooch" today. the cancer had spred pretty bad and his medication wasn't helping anymore. I think keeping him alive would have just been selfish. I think that has had to be one of the hardest things I've done. I know it was the right thing to do, but I wish he had gone on his own.

I am so sorry to hear that. Pets are such a big part of our lives and our families.

Let the Pooch RIP. As hard as it is; at least he will not suffer pain any longer. Sometimes I like dogs more than people.

sorry to hear of your Loss....dogs a cool....they ALWAYS like you

You definitely made the right decision. It's always tough to lose such a close companion. Just know that he's got lots of friends waiting for him and he will suffer no more.

Sorry to hear that he is headed off to the Great Butt sniffing session in the sky.

Sorry for your loss Bro. You made the right decision, your dog is in a better place now.

I know where you're coming from; I lost both of my Corgis two years ago, and it still hurts. But, as said above, they're comfortable now, even if you're not.

sorry for your loss Danny. He is at peace now, I know it doesnt help much.

Thanks all.

He was to the point where he couldn't stand up on his own. I had to pick him up (all 120 lbs.) to get him to his feet so he could walk (stumble) 10 feet to urinate. He wasn't eating and I had to literally put a bowl of water right under his nose for him to drink.

He was just in terrible shape. My heart hurts so bad right now.
