We have to do right by our dog buddies. When it’s time we know it. It’s agonizing to go through. All you can do is make the best decision based on what you have. We can’t let them down by allowing them to suffer. I’ve made that decision a number of times with some really great dogs we’ve had over the years. It’s never easy. We have to know we gave them the best life we could.

Danny, get some really good pictures of him before he goes.
Sorry you're having to do this, one of the hardest things we ever have to do. Godspeed Oskar! I’m just watching. Hoping he goes in peace before I have to take him in tomorrow.. all is calm at the moment. For a bit, it looked like he was having his rabbit chasing dream but I don’t know. I really hope he just drifts off in slumber before the morning. ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/12/full-20730-253609-img_0702.jpeg) My family will be praying Oscar passes tonight peacefully.

Sorry to hear. He had a good run. I thought he was older 5han 13. The song said he was born in 2010. There is an on going debate on when he was born. I still say he was born in 2010 but his Christmas stocking says otherwise. I don’t know, but I’m going with what Bob said when made the song. Best gift I can ever remember. Thanks Bob This makes me smile every time I hear it- RIP Oscar- This one makes me laugh as well ![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/12/full-20730-253612-img_1827.jpeg)

![[Linked Image]](https://texasfishingforum.com/forums/pics/userpics/2024/12/full-20730-253613-img_1959.jpeg) Never wanted Small dogs. We always had labs. When my chocolate lab died, my German shorthair Sam grieved to the point of dying. We got Oskar to see if it would bring him out of his funk. They became great friends. The night before I put down Sam, Oskar and Gabby laid on his bed all night. Somehow they knew, Oskar is a good dog.

I’m a mess right now. I’m Trying to hold it all together right now and am trying to hide my tears running down my face watching TV with the family. I think I’m pulling it off pretty good and am blaming it all on allergies . They think I’m just fine. I’m a good actor. Stupid dog. Dang it.

Just lost Cookie, my constant companion and English Pointing, full on bird hunting dog the day before Thanksgiving. And not only me, everybody in my neighborhood knew and loved her. A bad blood disease took her down. She was only eight.
It’s such a hard thing. I’ll always miss her.
You have my empathy, Mud.
