Asking for a prayer.

Thanks everyone.
I feel better already about it. It's just weird that after I leave today I'll never see him again. I know my parents will take good care of him, but it's just weird.

Pinkychick I'm so sorry to hear that. She's absolutely beautiful. Maybe KC will meet her up there.

Here he is a couple days ago sleeping under a big bush by our garage.

And here he is yesterday with the usual big happy smile on his face.

I'd post more pictures but they're on my other computer and I have to leave soon.

Thanks again, everyone, I feel that the extra love and thought he is getting will make him happy.
I love you, KC boy. Have fun up there.

All of you are in my prayers. I am so sorry you are having to go through this. I am sending you hugs.

It is so hard to lose a family member. What a beautiful dog.

I am so sorry for your loss!

What is the matter with him if you dont mind me asking?

Im so sorry for your loss

About the actual process:

It is an overdose of anesthesia. It doesnt burn or sting- all he will feel is the prick of the needle.
It is very fast- first his brain will go to sleep. The same as if he were to be having surgery. He won't feel anything at all, and then his heart will stop. It is very peaceful.

Don't worry about him being scared- he is at his own home, and your parents will be there to pet him. He will be okay.

Allow yourself time to grieve, he has been a long-time companion. Its okay to be upset and sad.

I am glad that you two had so many years together.

Thank you Mom. He is old, and since he's a big breed he's having hip problems, and can barely walk. When he has to go to the bathroom he just goes while laying down. I said my goodbyes this morning. Made sure he knew I love him. Gave him a big kiss and didn't actually say goodbye, just that I love him.
