Well we put him down today at 5:34pm- my kids and wife were all there.
He didnt like being here, he was definitely aware that he was at the vet. They just know I think?
It was very surreal. He just dozed off and that was it. No struggling, his eyes didnt shut, he just dozed off.
We all reminisced about the good times on the way home. I asked my kids what they like best about Hanz and we took turns each of us telling our favorite memories of the "bearded one"
My 3 year old took it the hardest, I think because she didnt understand he was now in heaven, but Im glad she was there and that Hanz knew we were all with him at the end.
It was almost a relief when he went due to the fact I knew he wasnt suffering anymore and would be able to run and play again and was 100% better up there where Schnauzers are whole again.....

what a good boy...

I am so very sorry about Hanz. He sounded like a wonderful dog who had a wonderful family. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.
Know in your heart that he is in a place without suffering. I am sure my Sasha is among many, who are there helping him to cross the bridge. You will see him again..........

Hi -
So sorry for your loss of Hanz. I'm glad you did that as a family experience. I think that's important. I like the way you handled it by telling your memories of him. I think that's a wonderful way to honor your little guy.
I also understand the "relief". I just put down one of mine about a week ago. She had been sick for a very very long time and I was glad it was time to "release" her from that part of her physical life.
Your kids will remember doing that as a family, and I know it will always be painful, but it will be one of those things that bonds a family like few other things can do. I think you handled that just perfectly.
Best wishes,
Tania

(Tears roll down my cheeks as I type this.) I am so sorry to hear of your little guy's loss. Glad you were there for him as a family--to the end. They are such noble little souls and they deserve to have us there. They'd do no less for us.
Hugs to you and your family,
M and M's Mum

You and your family sound like wonderful people and your Hanz was a fantastic dog. He was lucky to have you and the gang for the eight years that he lived. When I was working with Tania on the FAQ section, one of the questions that I had to address was when was it time to put your dog down. You got it exactly right when you said he wasn't acting like a dog any longer and that his eyes told the story. Take a look in the FAQ section and read the beautiful column by Jon Katz. I congratulate you for what you did, especially making the kids a part of this saga we call 'life'. It's important for them to know about the sadness that we all have to experience as part of our living process. I too got all welled up when reading your description of your dog and his great character. My Molly is only 4, but I think of the day when I will have to face the reality that you just experienced. It will be a very sad time so I make each day with her count and we do something a little special each day to enrich both our lives.

Hanz does sound like the best boy in the world, I am so sorry you had to lose him. But it sounds like you did it the best way anyone could, and that you have many, many wonderful memories.

thank you all for the kind words.. I didnt think it would be this hard, but he was really a family member and its very strange without him here. almost eerily quiet. It will especially hard this week since my wife is gone in Chicago.
I cleaned up all his bedding, crate, and put his toys in a box(were getting ready to move in 3 weeks)yesterday.
I smelled it all for the last time. It still smelled like him(he had this distinctive corn-chip like smell that I loved) 
I tear up as I wote this I have twice found myself coming home and expecting him to greet me at the top of the stairs, but he doesnt. 
I cry on my way to work each moring(luckily its dark and no one can see me at 5:30am)
I find myself looking at pictures on Google of MS and it makes me sad.
Id give anything to have him back and healthy again. I know we did all we could for him in the last month.
I know we as a family wont be able to last long without another woo-woo in the house, even though no puppy or dog will ever take his place.
I know I need some time to grieve /mourn more, then maybe once were settled in our new home,think about another MS.
appreciate all the kind words..
Doug
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
and the tears come streaming down your face
when you lose something you can't replace
when you love some one but it goes to waste
could it be worse?
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you
