Yes, age and because the tumor is high on her hip.

My sister just stopped to visit me at work and she brought her kids, ages 6 and 3. They love Toby so much!
It's going to be so hard on them too. :(

My sister is trying to decided if she is going to tell them ahead of time that Toby is sick and is going to leave to go live with Jesus soon so that they can say a proper goodbye. Or just tell them after Toby is gone.
Toby will be burried on my parents property, so they will have a grave to visit, maybe that would be better... just to tell them once she's gone and they can visit her grave.
:(
Oh this is all so hard.....
Thank you all again for your comforting words.

I'm so sorry to hear about Toby. :( She's a beautiful dog.

*hugs*

I went to visit Toby last night and it was not good. :(

She's ready for her trip to the bridge, I'll be calling her vet this morning.

Toby will be a puppy again today at the bridge. Please pray for her safe and painless trip.
She gets to go be with Harley again, my mom's Pom/Poodle that passed a few years ago.

:(
I'll always love you Toby....

Here are some pictures I took last night...
I sat in the grass with her for a long time scratching her ears and giving her extra lovin's.

I am sorry to read all this about your Toby girl. God be with all of you today.

I just got off the phone... a vet will be at my parent's house at 1:00 today to send her on her way to a happy & healthy new life with all of the other RB pets.

Sorry I didn't see this thread earlier. Please know you are doing the right thing, and Toby won't be in pain anymore. {{{hugs}}} Godspeed, Toby.

I am so sorry, but you are doing the best you can. Good luck. This thread has made me teary eyed.

Oh Angie, I am so sorry. Rest easy Pretty Girl :(

(((Hugs))))

Oh Toby sweetheart - you do look worn out. Safe journey to the Bridge precious girl

Oh Angie, my heart is breaking for you. :( This is the hardest part about having a wonderful furry companion. You know Toby appreciates you thinking of her first, no matter how torn up inside you feel. I'm lighting a candle right now here at home, and I'll be thinking of you all. (And if I don't stand over the candle, these tears won't put it out). Wish I was there to give you a big hug, my friend.

Godspeed, Toby, you'll be running & playing on four good legs again soon, sweetheart. Maybe my Rosie will greet you & show you all the best places to dig and to take naps.

:( .. heartbreaking to know it's time for her to go at the same time she was/is enjoying your stritches..

toby, I wish you a godspeed journey and that you'll be all new, happy and painless. 13 years was a good life, I bet.. don't think anyone else better could give you a good home, and, especially up there too! well, and don't forget now, that you're going up there, you have a new job - watching over your parents and dear friend!

thanks for telling me about this thread, glad I could say my good bye before she romps off for colors.. so sorry, (((angie))). let me know if you're still up for tomorrow. I'll understand if you need some time. will be thinking of you and her at 1PM as I'm coming near/by you. :)

I am just now seeing this. Oh Tobey, what a beautiful, sweet girl you are. Play hard at the bridge, ok? gentle ((((hugs))))

I'm so sorry I'm just now seeing this thread. The love you feel for Toby just pours off the screen. I'm glad the vet is coming to her home to send her to the bridge. It has to be more comfortable. Toby's beautiful.
