I just feel so awful. I had to have Godzilla put to sleep today. He was only 7, and it just hurts so much. He had been having health problems for a long time, not limited to severe allergies and sore back. Lately, he had been going blind, one eye worse than the other, and it had been making him insecure and unfortunately extremely aggressive to our other dog, Jackie. Sometimes he would just attack without any provocation, leaving bloody gashes on both of them, and then this weekend happened. Three days, Four attacks, and I realized that both my dogs were afraid, Jackie of Godzilla, and Godzilla of everything around him. I feel so guilty that I let it go on for so long, but also so guilty for making the decision to have him put down. My poor long-good-dog.
Please don't feel guilty. You made the best decision you could in the circumstances you were facing. I know it's hard, but eventually the worst of the grief will fade, leaving you with all the happy memories you shared. Take care of yourself, and don't hesitate to come here for support. Many of us have been in the same situation and know what you are going through. Hugs.
I am so very sorry of the loss of a dear friend. I think you were very brave and kind in making such a compassionate decision for him. I hope the pain will fade in time, leaving lovely, happy memories.
It's always so hard, but you have made the best decision for Godzilla and I'm sure he had a wonderful life with you. So sorry.
The hardest but often the kindest decision we can make for our loved pets , so very sorry for your loss .
I feel so sad for you, what a difficult decision but I think it was the only decision, Godzilla is safe from all his fears now. You will miss him dreadfully, he looked a super dog, I am sure he was very well loved and will never be forgotten xxx
Oh my heart always lurches when I see an entry on this Board.I'm so sorry about Godzilla.It's very natural,but don't feel guilty,he had a much and well loved life with you. This last decision about his wellbeing and comfort was made with love too.He looked a wonderful character and I know you will miss him very much x
Sorry for your tough decision. It is the hardest yet the kindest thing we do for our dogs. Sleep well mighty Godzilla xx
So sorry. You were kind and compassionate when he needed you most. He was a lucky boy to have someone like you care for him.
You did the very best for Godzilla. He had enjoyed a good, although shortish, life with you caring for him until it was time for him to go.
Hopefully the pain will ease and you will have lots of good memories of Godzilla. Sounds like a difficult decision, but one that needed to be made x
What a terribly hard decision to make. He's free from his fear now and was loved to the end and beyond. RIP x
