It seems if you are going to visit the rainbow bridge forum you need a box of tissues. Your post made me cry real tears. With composure nearly recovered I got to Roily's post and .... tissue box again.
I thought of my dingo X, who at 15 was in too much mysery to continue. The vet came to vist and my boy died in my arms, a moment I will never forget and ten years later I cry as I type this. How lucky I was to enjoy so many years with this beautiful dog.
Your pup was special and obviously, so are you. Never be shy to talk and shed a tear with doggie people 'cause we all understand.
(BTW, I highly reccommend having the vet come to you for treatments of any kind. The aminal is more relaxed in ti's natural envirnment. The mobile vet - only does home visits - was a real find)
My wife and I are looking for a pup now for our twins so the journey continues.
THE GRIEF IS THE PRICE YOU PAY FOR THE HAPPINESS THEY BRING AND THE LOVE YOU GIVE. I'LL PAY...
