Putting my first dog down tomorrow and it's going to suck

[dead0man]

I had had a couple of other dogs before, ex-wife took one, had to get rid of another one in a move, but this is the first dog that I've raised from pup to death.  It's going to suck.  Called to make the appointment, holding back tears the entire time, then started balling as soon as I hung up.  She's been a good girl, yes she has, whose a good girl? Maxey is.  Was never very good at retrieving despite being one, but she loved the water.  She was always good for a bark if someone knocked at the door.  And not no sissy bark either, the Rot came out of her when it was time to protect her own.  She loved walks and treats...hell she was a dog, of course she liked walks and treats.  But she didn't like popcorn, the only dog I've met that didn't.  Well here is the old girl

It did go well.  I think I got all cried out in anticipation of the.....thing, I didn't have all that many tears left when it happened.  It makes it easier to have a couple of dogs to come home to, and the boy went with me, so that helped a lot too.  Thank you everybody for the kind words.

Sorry man, it sucks.  No other way to put it.
