Our Neighbor's Dog was Euthanized

Pet loss isn't easy. I wish the grieving family my best as they navigate this recent loss.

You are right, she lead a good life. Our son's dog, Ellie is 10 years old, and she has never looked more skinny then she does now. I worry about her. She craves affection and cuddles, especially from myself and our daughter-in-law.

That's very sad. That sweet girl at least had loving people with her all her life.

I am sorry for your neighbor's loss of their beloved Hailey. It's never easy losing a fur baby

I am sorry for the loss of Hailey. She sounds like she was a wonderful pet and much loved, it will be hard for James to get used to her being gone. The last dog I lost happened very suddenly. She was a lovely Swedish Lapphund, all black and so fluffy. Very smart! And OH, so devoted to me. Let's put it this way--I did nothing alone if I was home with her! She was almost 14. Had never been sick, always had her check ups and shots. One day she didn't want to eat, and vomited some blood, so we went to the vet right away. It got long, complicated, and expensive, but later that day via some x-rays and scans, it was revealed that she had a cancerous tumor on her liver, and several abdominal tumors as well. The liver one was very bad and not operable, he said she was in pain and it was so advanced she couldn't live more than a few days. I had to let her go, it ripped me apart...this was one of many pets I loved and had for a long time, but it was the last one I lost, it's so hard.

That's so sad to hear, but I would have done the same thing just to keep her from suffering with what life she had left, sometimes we have to make some hard real decisions & that's the hardest 1's to make with pets.

Bigger dogs have shorter life spans and it is never long enough. With her illnesses this was a kindness.

Usually big size dogs have shorter life time than the small ones. I know it is sad for your nighbors to euthanize their dog, but it is a good choice. At least Hailey didn't have to suffer more.

I’m so sorry. I always say that our final act of love toward a pet is the worst one…we end their agony at the expense of our own.

Pet loss is one of the hardest things to go through,

I am glad she had a good life.

Poor Hailey. But her Mum and Dad did the best thing. She did live a good long life.

That chokes me up as I know how hard it is to lose a pet. I'm glad Hailey had a good life.

This is sad. But it's good that she had a good life. The quality of life is very important.

The dog had a good life and they were good pet parents.

That's sad. She had a very long life

That's sad. She had a very long life

well, if they've got kids, the lose will be harder on them
