Mom made an appointment with the vet, so I guess they'll put him down this time because he's sick. The last time we took him to have him put down they wouldn't do it. I just hope my mom isn't lying to me and she's not just going to give him to someone else. I'm going to miss him dearly.

So sorry to hear this. It's one of the hardest things to have to go through but can be the kindest thing to do for your pet if they have reached the point that their quality of life has declined significantly. (((Religiously_Unkind)))

*hugs* I am really sorry and that so sad. Some Vets will let you be in there and hold their paw while they pass. My husband did that with our cat.
Our vet came to our house so that there would be even less stress for our pets and their passing would be more peaceful. It was worth the extra money to us to do the house call. Perhaps kinder for us, too, now that I think of it as we didn't have to drive home in that emotional state.

If your dog is sick then this is the best thing for him. What kind of dog is he, if I might ask? So sorry to hear this - it's very painful for all involved ((((Religiously_Unkind))))

Ren has passed on; a little while after I made my post he had a seizure, I called my mom, she rushed home, and then we took him to the vet and had him put down. This is easily the worst day of my life, you haven't had a bad day until you've seen your baby have a seizure and heard his screams of pain. The vet said he had a brain tumor, my mom and I never even knew.

Ren is at peace. Maybe this will help a little:

How old was Ren? It sounds like you did the best you could for him and he's at peace now.
