Today my mom and I had to put down our 14 year old Labrador Retriever, Luna. Her quality of life up had been pretty good, she was always happy and excited for attention but just was a little slow with getting around, as most old dogs are. After many vet appointments a while ago the vet decided that is wasn't arthritis as she had suspected, because Luna didn't have pain just overall weakness. Over the past couple days she became ill and her mobility worsened. We took her to the vet today and the vet said that it would be possible to run tests and provide a doggie wheelchair thing for her but we all agreed that would involve unnecessary suffering for her. It was really peaceful and I know we did the right thing for her. I've been feeling sick ever since though She's the only dog we've ever had, I've known her since I was about 5 years old. She was really amazing and I feel like no dog will ever be able to replace her. She loved going camping, hiking, and swimming. She was so incredibly sweet and innocent, she used to snuggle with our cats and rabbits. I will always love her very much 

I'm so sorry Bunnyfriend. She sounds like she was an amazing dog.

I'm sure she'll be snuggling with Tigger at the bridge. *Hugs*

It's never easy to say goodbye...your story is much like how we had to make the choice for my Shadow ... he was a 14 year old husky who suffered renal failure at the end. He wouldn't go himself because he didn't want to leave us. It was a choice I don't regret but I still tear up when I think of my boy. :'(
God Bless you...and run free Luna. If you see a big shaggy dude up there with a howl like Chewbacca, that's my Shay...he'll be a gentleman and show you around.

Hugs to you bunnyfriend...you are in my thoughts and prayers.

My condolences to you and your family, bunnyfriend. It's very, very hard to lose a member of your family that you've loved since childhood.
Luna has a really sweet face and I know she is sending you her love from across the Rainbow Bridge.

I'm so sorry. He sounds like he was very loved and will be missed. Hugs to you.

Thank very much everyone, it is very weird. We had daily routines together (like saying hi to her and eating breakfast with her while she has hers) and I keep forgetting and expecting to hear or see her but then I realize that she's gone.

MimzMum: That sounds very similar. I am also sorry for your loss of Shadow, he also sounds like a awesome dog.

I'm sorry to hear you had to say goodbye. She had a wonderful long life and I'm sure she knew how special she was to your family. ((((Hugs)))))

She's beautiful! I have a soft spot for labs and Goldie's. Well, all dogs really tbh.

My condolences to you and the family Bunnyfriend. (((Hugs))) to you. It's so incredibly hard to say goodbye to animal companions. Your having had her in your life so long, I'm certain you'll feel her around you still. Watch for those moments and be sure to smile.

She's gone forth with the love from her family. RIP Luna

 I'm s sorry for your loss. My condolences to you and your family. She is an absolutely gorgeous dog
