Putting my dog asleep :(

I was more depressed when we put my first dog down then when one of my grandpas died (he really wasnt that big a part of my life tbh but still)
 
dude i have a black lab thats almost 13 and he has the same problems, heavy breathing, arthritis in his back legs so its hard for him to do stairs and walk and shit, and hes senile and goin deff etc, hes not at the point that he needs to be put to sleep but it sucks watching you dog get old
 
We're going to have to put my dog down soon :( she stumbles all over the place and her teeth are getting bad so she can only eat soft food now. It's kinda cute when she falls asleep sitting up though. We have had her for almost 14 years now. I hate that she sleeps in my room now because i'm afraid I'm going to wake up one morning and find her dead...
 
"He is my other eyes that can see above the clouds; my other ears that hear above the winds. He is the part of me that can reach out into the sea. He has told me a thousand times over that I am his reason for being; by the way he rests against my leg; by the way he thumps his tail at my smallest smile; by the way he shows his hurt when I leave without taking him. (I think it makes him sick with worry when he is not along to care for me.) When I am wrong, he is delighted to forgive. When I am angry, he clowns to make me smile. When I am happy, he is joy unbounded. When I am a fool, he ignores it. When I succeed, he brags. Without him, I am only another man. With him, I am all-powerful. He is loyalty itself. He has taught me the meaning of devotion. With him, I know a secret comfort and a private peace. He has brought me understanding where before I was ignorant. His head on my knee can heal my human hurts. His presence by my side is protection against my fears of dark and unknown things. He has promised to wait for me... whenever... wherever - in case I need him. And I expect I will - as I always have. He is just my dog."

i completely get that and im the oldest of 5 kids, whenever your just feeling down your dog is always there to bring you back up and it doesnt care how your day was, its just glad to see you
 
for like fifteen years my parents had a black lab named Sadie Ladie Valentine cause she was born on Valentines Day and what not, well look at this im already gettin teary eyed. They had here from pretty much day one till the very last a few years ago. She was an awesome black lab who over the years got sicker and sicker. Arthritis, blindness, deafness, and getting worse. About 3 or 4 years ago we had to put her down. And i was only like 11 or so then (15 now) so it didn't hit me as hard as it does now when i think back to how amazing of a dog she was. emotionally there for you anytime of day. +vibes i feel your pain
 
I was thinking about that today. I took my dog to the vet and he had that look of fear being in there but he seemed so comfortable as I pet him. To see him smiling is one of the greatest feelings. He always has my back. He has given me more laughs than anyone else has. I hope I'm not around when we have to put him down. ++++vibes man.
