Thread: RIP Dear Nellie

    RIP Dear Nellie

    Earlier this evening our almost 17 years old (just missed her 17th birthday by 15 days) pointer-beagle mix, Nellie, refused her dinner. A little while later I saw her standing staring and looking really odd, then she dropped.
    We rushed her to the vets to be put down.
    At 17, we weren't going to put the old girl through tests or diagnostics or anything of the sort.
    We felt she deserved her long lat peaceful sleep.
    Her breathing was very labored and her eyes were already glazed and not really seeing anything by time we got to the vets.
    Nellie was a good girl and we'll miss her very much.


    Nellie in her prime:

    Pat, I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. Nellie was very loved and now she's up at the Bridge and able to run and play again. You'll see her again some day. RIP sweet Nellie. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time. Please take care. (((HUGS)))

    I am so sorry. I have tears in my eyes. 17 years is a great long life of love.

    RIP Nellie
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    RIP pretty Nellie. You had a nice long life here with your parents, now it's time to rest for a while, before you go off to run and play at RB.

    So sorry you lost her Pat. It's never easy, no matter how long they are with us.
