Put my last friend down a few years back. Lab pit mix.
I just don't have it in me to get another friend and do it again.
Done it to many times in my life.
Mine was a Lab-German Shepherd- Pit mix. Best friend we ever had. I agree with you, they just don't live long enough. My Lab is buried in the front yard with a head stone. I can't do this again. She died in 2015.
