I hesitated to post this today but figured since I started it, may as well finish it. We had to put her to sleep today. Cant remember when I last bawled this much. How do we become so attached. Guess its their unconditional love and caring.
You would not believe how she went downhill in a week. Never seen anything like it. had to be more advanced than we figured. Even increasing her prednisone did not alleviate the symptoms anymore. I wont go into all her syptoms but they were getting bad and getting worse everyday. This morning was her worse, so we went for a check-up. My wife, myself & our daughter, {her first owner}, were all with her when she passed. Had her head on my lap. Anyways, we have great memories and she was a good companion and friend. Thanks again for all the advice.

My deepest sympathies. I know how upset you are. I dread the day when I have to part with my dogs. There is a bond between most owners and dogs that is on a different level than with most other pets. No replies from cat people please...A dog is a member of the family that gives its love unconditionally to you. I do believe you made the correct if not the most difficult decision of what was in the best interest of the dog. No animal should suffer. Cherish the great memories of your companion and she will always be in your heart...

Very sorry to hear that Doug. It's always hard, only people who truly love their pets can really understand. At least she had a good life with your family and she is no longer suffering.

I understand totally what you are going through and my thoughts are with you. Dogs are very much like our children when we let them be that.

Thank-you all for the kind words. Perhaps thats why we post these times here. To share with others who fell the same way, somehow seems to help with the grieving and healing process.
We are going to put her ashes in the country someplace, which is where she loved to be so much after we adopted her. She loved the daily walks in the boonies we went on. house pics 018.jpg
