So sorry to here, it's not easy. Winnie is at peace, running happily and watching over you and your family. We just lost one of our cats to cancer last week Friday, I know it's hard.

She'll be waiting for you at the rainbow bridge.

It sucks because you miss her, but in the end, it's the unselfish thing to do to let her go. She's up in doggie heaven now where she can chew on shoes that taste like beef and peanut butter.

Sorry man. I had to do the same thing last year with our 8 year old German Shepherd, Kobe. He had bone cancer and it pretty much spread everywhere. My whole family was devastated for weeks but it does get better. We took him to the vet and stayed with him until he took his last breath. He went peacefully but it was hard to watch . Sorry, I'm trying to cheer you up and I'm making it worse for you and me. I think I need consoling now

 

[SanClementeEric]

So sorry Dude. Thoughts are with you during this time.

 

[pandimus]

Sorry as well.. we had to put our 16 year old to sleep a few months ago. I don't cry much..but that was an exception..

Sorry about your loss Rik. I've had to put down two dogs over the past few years due to lung issues and cancer.

The first was Griffin and he was the smartest dog one ever had and of the sweetest as well. He had lung issues as eventually was put down because he couldn't breathe.

My last dog was Uni because he was ugly as hell but loved me more than anyone else. He was an "acquired" taste. He had melanoma cancer that spread to his brain and then had intractable seizures. I finally put him down after doing chemo and radiation therapy.

Both dogs were rescues that I paid more for their healthcare than the rest of my family but it was so worth it. Miss those guys.

Ahh man, I feel you, sorry to hear. I hate to admit it, but that's one reason I don't like keeping cats or dogs anymore, I hate losing them.

Go Blue :thumbsup:

So sorry to hear about Winnie. Reading everyone's dog stories made me cry. They were all beautiful animals. We lost our 2 rescue dogs last year at the same time. Both ingested something toxic and died hours apart from each other. One of the hardest things we've ever had to deal with. Was so excited at the prospect of our little one growing up with them. Ppl say to get another dog, but losing them is just too heartbreaking.

Sorry for your lose, loosing Winnie must be hard on the whole family. We lost our cat she had been with us for 19 years. Used to beat up every cat in the neighborhood. When my son was sick she slept outside his room for a year. When I had Pneumonia a couple years ago she slept head to head to me, she would not move.

Your kids will look to you to show them how to grieve.

PS I watched the whole game tonight, every 20 years not so bad.

Im sorry for your loss too

i hope so. She waited for me everywhere else

She was more about chewing on wood and snacking on cheese Letting her go was the right thing to do. Personally, I couldn't bear to watch her having another seizure again, ever, way to disturbing and never have I felt more helpless. Every time I'd leave I'd be fearful of what's she's doing or what I might come home to or my family to come home to.

I remember her Johnny. She was a cute little dog. I remember joking about her with you about using her as a floor mop with all that fur. I'm sorry man

Ive had the same feelings. I completely understand.

Jamie, the Dr thought the same thing about Winnie as a possibility to what happened but we can't figure out what that'd be or why only her and not the other two. We've looked for every possibility of toxicity but can't find anything. Another possibility was a brain tumor. The original concern was an obstruction because Winnie had a habit of thinking female panties were edible undies and she'd figure out a way to swallow them and then she'd regurgitate them up later and we did find a pair outside in her vomit so we thought maybe she ate more then one but it wasn't the case. I guess we'll never know. I'm so sorry for yours and Tri's loss

When I see so many memorials to their pets I feel kinda selfish for posting this. I didn't think about how this could stir up memories that you might've preferred left alone. If I did that it was unintentional and I'm sorry. I was just feeling bad when I posted

I don't think you are stirring up anything bad. Although it does get easier with time, these pets we loved are never forgotten. I had a beloved boxer, Abby, who was also doing fine until we woke up on a Sunday to have a fun day at a family Christmas party the weekend before Christmas and found her very sick. I took her to the emergency pet hospital where they told me that her stomach flippped and she was dying. I called my wife and little kids to meet me and discuss the 2 very difficult options we were given.

1. Pay $4000 for a surgery to reverse the flipped stomach which they said even then it was only a 50/50 survival rate on a 9 year old boxer where the life expectancy of a boxer is about 9-years.
2. Put her to sleep because she would die within hours if nothing was done and she was suffering.

This was such a hard decision and as they were putting her to sleep I couldn't stop myself from apologizing to Abby, saying I was so sorry. As much as I would have liked to given her a chance with the $4000 surgery, they said she may still die anyway and even with a successful surgery she had already lived her life expectancy.

Im sorry for your loss.
