    (((bikerchick68))) I'm so sorry. It takes a lot of pure love to be able to do that for our furry companions. You are doing the right thing for Winston. My thoughts are with you tonight.

    Big hugs to you. You know when it is the right time, but it is such a tough decision to make. Good for you for making the hardest choice you can with a pet.

    Amazing how they can see you through so much of your life, so many changes. That's how my rottie was. She'd been with me longer than my husband, my child, seen me through bad boyfriends and good, law school and countless jobs. That was a very difficult time when I had to put her down, but I just knew when I came home the day before that it was the right time. I've got her ashes in a box on the shelf right behind me with her collar on it.

    I'm sitting crying for I know what you are going through and what you will face. Winston is one very lucky dog to have you as his fur person for your decision to let him go to the Rainbow Bridge is your final act of love albeit the toughest decision to make, I know. Find comfort in your memories and take your time saying your good-byes. Know that someday you and your buddy will be reunited and he will wait for you at the bridge. Go in peace, Winston and know my buddies, Hondo, Cumberland, Squire, Scooter, Motor, Saw, Bones and Max will be there to greet you.

    Oh, my heart is breaking for you!!!

    Four years ago my sweet sweet little pug Kinky was to the point where she could barely walk as well, and had a hunchback and was getting bald and incontinent. Like you, I knew I HAD to help her out of this world too. Kinky looked JUST like your Winston.
    It was so hard, taking her on her last little walk in the tall grass, letting her smell everything as much as she wanted, then going to the vet's. It's so heartbreaking. Something about pugs- they are so sweet and loving, never a bad thought in their little walnut brains all their lives.
    Your little Winston was a LUCKY LUCKY puglet to have such a loving mommy as you.
    Sending comforting vibes your way, may you find the strength to deal with this. xoxox

    ((bikerchick)) My heart is breaking for you and your furry friends. What a wonderful mom you have been and are to be with him to the end, unconditionally like he has been for you all of these years. Doggie kisses and wagging tail sympathies from me, Zeus and Xena.

    He was lucky to have found you - as you were to have found him. We do get so attached to our furry family, and the grieving process takes a while.
