    I am so sorry to hear this about Tango. I am adding my prayers for
    her recovery.I do hope the vet can offer something to help get her back
    on her feet again. I hate it that she's had to go through this pain.
    You both will be in my thoughts & prayers.

    She's gone.

    The specialist said that even if he did the surgery, she'd never, ever be able to walk again. That's no life for her, and anybody who knew her or has met her would agree. He said there's a possibility that she had a tumor on her spinal cord (but wouldn't know unless he opened her up), or she had degenerative disc disease. He's 98% sure it was the latter, and either way, the outcome wouldn't have been good. When I saw her today, she had no feeling at all from about the base of her neck, down her back. It was awful.

    I hope nobody thinks we should have tried harder. We did what we could, and putting her to sleep was our best option and the best decision for her. She wouldn't have been happy at all being stuck in a wheel chair for the remainder of her life - she just isn't that type of dog.

    I'm so sorry that you had no other choice but to let your girl go. Even when there is no choice, it's a horribly difficult thing to do.

    Godspeed, Tango. I'm sure she's playing fetch, running, happy and healthy again now.

    I am at work and just burst into tears. I am sooo sorry. Tango is happy and running around like she loves to do up at the Bridge.

    Hugs to you and your family.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!
