Title: A rough start
Post by: daveismissing on December 26 2011, 09:33:04 AM

Bit of a rough start to the holidays, evening of the 23'rd-

I went to put the dogs out for the last piddle and the old
Canine patriarch could no longer make his limbs work and freaking at the
loss of motor skills.

A trip to the emerg vet into the wee hours and a well earned sleep with his
family at his side.

Our friend and guardian of almost 15 years (110plus human years).
Rest well Watson.

Sorry to hear that Dave. It's amazing how attached we get - and how much joy they bring us.

I like my dogs far more than most people.   I understand all too well.  Unrelenting love is hard to find.

These were the dogs the now young adults grew up with so there was emotion...

Sorry to hear it Dave. I had a beautiful Irish Setter we had to put down way to early. No pets since, I just won't go through it again.
