Hate to hear that your pal is not doing so good. My friend has a dog that's doing so good also. I've known them both for 7 years. He's a beagle and he's not going to make another Michigan winter we both decided. His arthritis has goten so bad when it gets cold he won't even be able to move outside of the pole barn. When the family is away he digs because he's lonely. Then he has a hard time getting around after all of that digging. I told him I'll do the deed of the staying with him when they put him to sleep. He says he can't do it and I don't blame him for it either. I've got a cat who's going to out live me so I'll be alright with him.

Sorry Doc,
You'll know when it's time trust me and everyone else who has said it in this thread. I got a rough collie as a Christmas present when I was 2 years old and carried her into the vet when I was 19 to be put down, I stayed right there with her the whole time and carried her out. It's tough and you will feel it, but take comfort in the years of joy, the fact that he raised some wonderful children and know that his work is done.....hang in there......

When I lost someone close to me, a friend wrote this in a card (and it has stayed in my mind for over 20 years):
"We are, all of us, molded and remolded by those who have loved us. No one, no experience, can cross our path without leaving some mark upon us forever." Your best and loyal friend has helped to make you the man you are today and will be tomorrow. Your amazing dog will be with you forever... in your mind, your heart and in your children for a lifetime... what an amazing legacy to leave behind. You're in my thoughts tonight... please keep us all updated about Shadows progress.

They are so innocent. Unconditional love.
Im so sorry. Looking my Lab in the eye, crying like a baby when they put him down. Crushing. He was hurting. Just sat in my car at 3 am crying. Very draining. Take it easy... please.

I wish I had something profound to say or add to this thread....I am terribly sorry to hear about Shadow. I've only been through it once with a dog...a mixed breed runt who had been rejected by his mother, I got him at age seven and said good bye at 21....there are no words, he was fabulous. I've done it too many times though with horses and each one leaves a scar on my heart that just never seems to heal....I'm so sorry.
