| Thank You I haven't been on the forum for a while. I feel really bad that I have to come back on to post about this, but I knew you would all understand our pain. Thanks for all the support and kind words. I feel so many mixed emotions. He's not really my dog anymore, so I really don't have a say in their decision. He belongs to my parents, but I want to intervene and save him. What if he gets better? What if putting him down is a mistake? What if he can sense it, and feels betrayed? I feel horrible. |

| I am very sorry for your loss. To enjoy him for 18yrs was a blessing. I only hope to have Buddy for that long. Rochester sounds like he was a wonderful and loving campanion to you and your family. I am sure he knew how much he was loved. RIP little Rochester. Carol & Buddy |

| Oh, my! I understand all of your emotions and thoughts so well. It's never an easy decision and once the decision has been made and carried out, there will always be the "what ifs". All we can do is what we believe is the best thing to do. No one can do any more.

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm so sorry...he sounds like a very special little boy...You have my sincere condolences - there is nothing sadder then the day it's that time. Just to help a little - I was with my husbands cocker and while I cried and lost all my emotions there - but so you know - she did go so peacefully... later I took alot of comfort in that but it's so very hard no matter what. At 18 I would have to think he may not want to fight anymore ...that's a very long lifespan for a yorkie and a tribute to his good care ...Bless his heart - he sounds like such a joy.

| Junebug, I am so terribly sorry. I know this had to be so difficult for you even though Rochester had such a very long life filled with so much love. God bless and comfort you and all those that loved this little guy.

Banning Thread Dictator Donating Member | Thanks for sharing Rochester's story with us. I would give anything if I knew I could get 18 years out of my boys. What a great life. I can't imagine all the wonderful memories.

| I'm so sorry for the pain you are in right now. I know it hurts deep to loose a family member thats been there through the bad and the good. God bless Rochester, as 18 years is a long time for a dog. If I'm not mistaken, that would be 126 years old for him. I hope I have both of mine that long. |

| Memories that you have of Rochester and his loving spirit will always be with you. He will make tons of new friends at Rainbow Bridge and I'm sure he had a wonderful life being your little brother. Don't feel bad at all, Junebug, you gave him all of your love, if his body can't handle it any more, it just may be his time to go. It's never an easy decision, but it sounds like he may be more at peace if he goes if he is in as much pain as he is now. Take care, Junebug. Otis is there for you. |
