That's heartbreaking, brother. I'm sorry you've had to go through that. [Reply]

Man, that too bad. It's hard as hell losing one let alone all 4. [Reply]

I'm sorry for your loss.
Take it from a family who took an ~18 month break from having pets, don't wait 18 months. [Reply]

That sucks.
Go get a couple of shelter pets needing a good home and do it all over again. [Reply]

I should clarify that the old mutt, Sasha, was 18.5 years old when we had to put her down about 5 years ago. She lived way longer than anyone expected. She was a great dog but not exactly a buddy like my boxers were. The cat was also 18+ years old when she died a couple years ago. So while I was sad to see them go those were a little easier. [Reply]
I appreciate all the comments. I want to get another dog (or two) but we plan to sell our house in about 3 years when our daughter is out of high school. We should be in a better financial situation to do that then. And we know it's a pain to try to do showings when you have pets. So we decided to take a break until we move. It's killing me but I know it's probably for the best. [Reply]

I get that. About 1 1/2 years ago I had to put down my 18 year old beagle. While I loved the old gal it wasn't as hard as some of my other pets. She'd lived a long, good life and it was her time. [Reply]
