Beau is a little fighter, I pray his condition continues to improve even if it's a little bit every day (((hugs))) :love:

Beau has been a trooper, and has reaped some real benefits from the last two weeks of treatment. He even played fetch with real vigor for two days running! Although his tail still wags, he has begun to resist his "empty stomach" pill, and has not wanted to eat anything...even his most loved foods. Today he began whining in the morning, and could not settle comfortably in his bed. A little while later he was shaking, crying, then threw up. His back is arched again this morning, and we can see he is in pain.

My husband and I have not left him alone in the house for the last two weeks except for a dr. appointment that my husband had. We cannot bear to think that he could be in pain when we are not there. We called his vet, and have decided to spend one last day playing with him and his brothers, then let him go after hours when it will be calm and quiet. We are waiting for his doggie friend next door to come over for a final short play date (he will probably be sitting in my lap, but he still likes to watch).

I will miss our baby more than I can bear to think about, but I owe him a release from his pain. My heart is truly breaking and tears are flowing as I write this. Thank you all for your support.

What a hard thing you are going through. I've been there. <sighs> We are with you in thoughts and prayers.

Thank you for your support. Our best friend just left from his visit, and I was wavering in my resolve when Beau regrouped from his morning vomiting. Always looking for that one chance that "things will be fine", no matter how much you know that they won't. Beau greeted our friend and his doggy playmate wagging his tail, but would not kiss our friend, just turned his head away. You would have to know Beau to understand what that meant to us all...Beau is the world's most aggressive kisser! He actually will stand with his front legs on the shoulders of his victim and kiss them until you make him stop. It is his greatest pleasure to give and receive affection. It is a standing joke with anyone who knows Beau how affectionate he is...no never means no to Beau! Seeing that he had no interest in greeting or saying goodbye to our friend when he left confirmed our feelings that he is ready to leave us.

Hoping that you and Beau have a wonderful afternoon together. Sending you strength and prayers as you go through this difficult time.

I am so sad for you, this has to be so very hard on you, I couldn't do it but would have to, just to free my baby from pain. My prayers and tears are with with you (((hugs))) :love:

I’m so sorry. I wish I had the words to say to make you feel better. When I was reading your post I was crying for you.

Same here. It's so hard to see them suffer and just as hard to let them go.

All I can say is God bless you all and little Beau will have a wonderful family waiting for him at Rainbow Bridge. We've all been where you are and it's heartbreaking to the extreme. Thank God you had precious little Beau in your life.

:love: Beau left us gently and quietly this afternoon. The vet was so kind, and told us that he was happy that we made the decision to say goodbye. We took the picture of his best friend, Ozzie, who left almost five years ago. Beau was there for his passing, and I know that they will be so happy to meet again on the other side of the rainbow bridge! Goodbye my sweet soldier...

Thinking of you today.

I am so sorry. RIP Little Beau. Hugs and prayers to your Mom and Dad...
