Sad Day
I'm taking my dog, Pippin, a 13.5 yo basenji to the vet today to be put down. He is in kidney failure and hasn't kept anything down for 3 days. He's now refusing to eat. My husband wants to let nature take it's course, but I don't want Pippin to suffer (and he's obviously suffering now) AND I don't want my 9 year old to wake up with Pippin dead in bed with him!
Here's a photo of Pippin and Cooper in happier days.

Sorry to hear that. I don't have pets myself, but my cousin, who had two dogs until recently (and had 'em both for well over 10 years), suffered a lot when she had to put them down too. :(

Gosh I've only just seen this post. I'm so sorry to hear about Pippin. Was Cooper able to deal with it? The death of a pet is so hard - I sometimes think people don't appreciate how difficult it can be.
