Not a Happy July 4th :tinyheart:littleangI know I haven't been here in a while I'm moving and I've been working in the aparment for months now. I hate to come "back" with sad news but...sad news it is. My daughter and son in law had to put they're 11 year old lab mix Bob down on Thursday. They're soooooooo upset, and so am I. Bob was a great dog, no one could walk by without stopping to pet or play with him. He developed a brain tumor and had 2 seizures Mother's Day weekend. My daughter and I had taken him to a Doggie Neurologist about 2 weeks ago. They put him on prednisone which helped temporarily, Bob was even able to take a nap on the couch, unfortunately it was short lived :-(. She gave my daughter some good advice when my daughter asked how do I know "when", she said: make a list of his 5 most favorite things (e.g. eating, playing with a particular toy, going for a walk) and when he can't do any or all, it's time. Bob had a bad seizure on Tuesday and it was just downhill from there. He didn't want his bully stick (which is his most favorite thing in the world) he wouldn't really eat, the couch was out of the question, he could barely stand or walk. They knew it was time. I must say their vet was wonderful, when they got there they asked if they would prefer it to be done on the table or on the floor, Bob hated the table so they opted for the floor. They laid a blanket on the floor and my daughter and son in law were able to sit with him and pet him. Afterwards the vet techs made a clay paw print and put Bob's name with hearts around it and the date. I thought it was so caring how the vets office handled such a sad, sad event. :dogprints:Pawprint::rip::cry8::rainbow::sad: |
Oh my. I am so sorry to hear this. This is something that we all dread. Hope they are ok. As we know this is very, very difficult. So sad. Prayers for you all!:lovewings |
I am so sorry for you guys. My prayers are with you and your family. |
I am so sorry for your loss. Sounds like Bob was a very special dog. |
Ah, I am so sorry for your famly! Sounds like Bob was a special guy! It did sound like the vet gave really good advice- and were very caring. RIP Bob |
I am so very sorry for your and your families loss. |
I am soo sorry. Bob sounded like a real sweetheart and I am glad the vet was so suportive. Prayers and :hug60: go out to you and your family at this time. :rip: Bob.. |
I'm so very sorry for your loss, may God bless you and your family in this time of need. |
I am so sorry for your loss . |
thank you all for your kind words and prayers...it's hard when you know in your heart he's in a better place...not in pain...and running and playing with all his doggie and kitty and hamster and bird friends again...but you still miss him so much... |
I'm so sorry. Bob was very lucky to be able to cross the Bridge surrounded by so much love and such caring people. GodSpeed, Bob. |
I so sorry for your loss... :rip: |
That is so sad. My condolences go out to you, your daughter and sil. They made the right decision for Bob, he is not suffering now. |
I am so sorry for their loss. I went through the same thing with my dachshund Sammy in 2001. She developed a brain tumor and had seizures. She was only 5 years old though. It is such a horrible feeling being so helpless. They are in my thoughts and prayers. |
I am so sorry for our loss.....I am sending my thoughts & prayers your way |
