We're here in Kentucky but received bad news about Porch. We had to have him put down since his bowel problems reached the point where his quality of life was severely degraded. Luckily he was already being boarded at the vet's office. They were familiar with his condition and took good care of him in the end. We missed being with him but know he was in good hands.

Very sad news to have during your trip, but think of it this way....Porch probably did NOT want you to have to suffer seeing him die, so he waited until you were safely out of state to ask to pass to the bridge.
RIP Porch, you are now healthy and happy and playing at the bridge.
Thanks Jen. This isn't an easy thing to deal with when we're away, but at least he wasn't suffering.
Jen, that was so well put.
Oh Lisa, I am so very sorry to hear about precious Porch.
I'm glad he was in good hands and didn't have to suffer.
Rest in Peace dear Porch.
((((((HUGS)))))) Lisa.

Until we're all reunited again.

RIP Porch. :( Did he have mega-colon? Or a similar bowel problem? I'm so sorry to hear he left you for the Bridge, but he's not in any pain anymore.
Oh, I am so sorry to hear this. RIP Porch.
Oh Lisa, I'm so very sorry! Rest in peace dear Porch.
Lisa, you were the best thing for Porch and I know he was so happy to have been loved by you.

We too are sorry you lost Porch. Saying goodbye is so hard - you did your best and gave him lots of wonderful days of love.
{{{cyberhugs to K&L}}}
Frolic heartily at the bridge, beautiful Porch. It's good to be out of the pain... But you are missed here. :(
I’m so sorry to hear about your loss.:(
Rest in peace sweet handsome Porch.
It is always so difficult to lose a beloved pet. My heart goes out to you.
Rest in peace dear Porch - run, play, jump, in good health at the Rainbow Bridge.
Oh Lisa, I'm so sorry to hear about Porch. :( I know he's been fighting this for awhile and it's so sad to hear he has lost his battle. But he is now painfree at the RB.
He lived almost 2 more years since his first surgery, and I know appreciates every minute of that two years that you and Kevin gave him. {{{hugs}}} to you and I'm so sorry you couldn't be there with/for him but I know the vet took good care of him and stayed with him as he made his journey.
RIP sweet Porch. :( :(
For those who aren't familiar with Porch's story, I've compiled the following list of threads about him, from oldest - when he first had his surgery - to newest where he was starting to have problems blocking at both ends.
