Putting my dog to sleep today

First time I've ever had to go through something like this. What makes it worse is that I'm getting married on Saturday. So, in a nutshell, I'm an emotional wreck. We have a bunch of family coming in this afternoon and there is still plenty of things to do for the wedding...I'll be easily distracted, but the next hour is going to suck.

Could sure use some words from anyone who has had to put their beloved pets down.

ugh....terrible. Mine was put down about a year or so ago. I was just talking last night about how much I miss her. I had my ex take her because I just couldn't do it. I still struggle with my decision not to be there. She was like my shadow and followed me everywhere and in the end I took the cowardly way out. Wish I had it to do over again. 

 

Just know you are doing the right thing for the dog, that's about the only thing I can think of that makes it any easier if that's possible.

My stomach dropped reading the title I had to put my English Bulldog down 18 months ago and the pain was unbearable. I cried for a week poo I'm tearing up now. I loved that dog poor thing was mistreated his whole life then he gets a family that loves him he gets a brain tumor.

We had to put my border collie down last fall. He was the most amazing dog Ive ever seen and that was extremely hard. I definitely balled but it was very humane and done right. Im going to get 2 more from tge same lineage when i get more land and Ill be shocked if they are half the dog mine was.

A dog is the epitome of unconditional love. Their companionship and loyalty is best honored by their owners and how their lives are celebrated. A dog will endure excruciating pain and discomfort in order to please their owner. 

 

The greatest act of kindness and appreciation you can give your dog is to hold him and comfort him in his last moments and know that he'll never again have to endure the pain and suffering.

That sucks bro I'm sorry. I love dogs more than most people.

When I was a young man I worked at a vets office and had to put down many animals myself. I eventually quit because I couldn't do it anymore. It was extraordinarily taxing on my emotional health everyday.

Well, she's in a better place now. She was a lab mix and 17 years old, which is ridiculously old for a lab. Her first appointment at the vet was in '99 and they estimated that she was one to two at the time. We adopted her from an abusive family (she had shotgun pellets in her stomach lining when we first took her to the vet). So, she lived a much better life then what she would have. She was diagnosed with cancer in January and over the last two days she stopped eating and was unable to stand on her own. It was time, but damn that sucked. It was probably the first time I've ever seen my dad cry.

She was co-captain of our lake boat, so we're going to place a picture of her behind the captain's seat.

Thanks for everyone's kind words.

Sorry to hear that.

When I put my Dundee down, was one of the hardest things I've ever done. He was my best friend. Couldn't stand to see him in pain anymore. Tearing up about it as I post. musta been 15 years ago.

I've had other dogs since, but not like him.

Prayers of peace for you.

      I gave you a full breakdown and examples from last year as to why I think it's unfair to expect 1k from T-Mac this year if everyone stays healthy. But the TLDR version is we will have 4 legitimately good WRs next year, most rookies who get to 1,000 yards don't have any others on the team with them let alone 3 others, it will be hard for him to put up 1k with out the others being injured or falling short of expectations themselves, but in 2026 without Thielen it's different.

      Last year Thielen had 615 yards in 10 games (had more ypg than his 1k season in 23).  XL had 497 in 16 games with tons of drops and Coker had 478 in 11. They also only had only 192 of our 518 targets to get those numbers. So if Thielen has 1,000 yards again, XL and Coker each improve to say 600 yards each, and T-Mac comes in at 800 yards, you're going to say that's not good enough?  Especially if he ends up with close to, if not getting to, double digit TD's like I think he will, as he's going to be a red zone monster for Bryce? Because if that's the breakdown of just the Top 4 and Bryce plays all 17 games, he's going to be pushing a 4,000 yard season as the TEs, RBs, and other WRs will probably add up to 750-1k yards as well, and I think that would be far more than anyone here could be expecting of him this season. Last year the Giants only had 2 players with more than 331 yards besides Nabers and they were 699 and 573 while Nabers "only" had 1,200 yards (granted in 15 games).  While the Jags second leading receiving was a TE with 411 yards and BTJ also "only" had 1,282 but in all 17 games. If everyone stays healthy and XL/Coker have improved, I think Bryce is going to spread the ball around rather than focus on T-Mac in a way that most of the 1k rookies have been able to get. Again I point to MHJ and the Cardinals last year. They had 3,859 yards receiving.   McBride had 1,146, MHJ had 885, then their 3rd and 4th in rec yards were 548 and 414. Take the 146 and 85 that McBride/MHJ had over my example for our guys and give them to the other two and they get to 7 yards shy of the 600 I'm using for XL/Coker, while the rest of the team added up to 866 yards. So, if you expect T-Mac to get to 1k, where are you taking those yards from? if anything, XL and Coker each getting 600 yards seems like a low projection, so they wouldn't come from there. Maybe they come from Thielen now that we have T-Mac as the true #1.  But I think if anything, having T-Mac draw attention will just make it easier for Thielen to get open and him and Bryce have great chemistry already, he's not going to stop throwing his way if he can pick up easy chunks of yards there. So maybe they come from the RBs, TEs, other WRs, but it's I think a very fair example to show why expecting 1,000 yards if everyone stays healthy isn't necessarily fair to him. It's also why I said I'd then expect at least 1,200 yards in 2026, as once Thielen leave and all 3 of T-Mac/XL/Coker get better, they absorb that 1,000 yards Thielen leaves behind with T-Mac probably taking close to half of it and the other two splitting up the other half.
