Thread: Not hunting dogs, these are my children.

Buddy, I would say that it's probably time to let them go. even thou it's really hard now, it's only fair to them they don't suffer any more that they need to. Take them to the vet, hold them, tell them how much you loved them while they are put to sleep, howl as much as you like, but wait till after they have gone. You will only add extra stress to them. Then take them to their special place, you will know and lay them to rest. You have done so much for them and have given them a loving and fantastic environment to grow up in, their long levity is a testament to this. Then go and chose another one, not a similar breed because you will always compare. You owe to your family to get another mate for yourself and the kids. Fukin hard I know but the next one will find a place in your heart and the Old ones will always be apart of your life.
