    Aw, poor thing.

    I had the same thing with Mist where they didn't know exactly what was wrong but he suspected a heart block problem. I didn't think it fair or worth it to put her through loads of tests so I had him put her to sleep there and then and it was horrific. I'd made my mind up about that the day before if it was something that couldn't easily be treated. The vet sounded like he didn't reckon it was worth doing tests either.

    Anyway, that was a year ago and I'm welling up now just typing this so my sympathies with you and your family.
    Dogs are not our whole lives but they make our lives whole.

    It's heartbreaking to watch our beloved furbabies suffer.You have given him a good life, and the kindest (if hardest) thing is to lovingly release him. He'll be watching you from the RB, nice & healthy again.
    You'll be in my thoughts & prayers.

    I'm so sorry. Thunder has had a wonderful life with you and your family. It's a hard thing to let them go, but sometimes the best thing to do. You will be in my prayers. {hugs}

    So sorry to hear about Thunder. I do agree with you and your vet sometimes the kindest thing is to let them go.

    Thanks everyone.
    This is going to be one of the hardest things for me to go through, I've never had to deal with a death in anyway.

    I'm so sad for you. It is probably one of the most difficult decisions you'll ever have to make. Your description of Thunder at the vet's office, sounded so much like my RB Cody's. It broke my heart, but I felt he was telling me to let him go. I miss him terribly every day, but I have wonderful memories and I know he's happy at the Bridge. Sending you hugs.

    I'm so sorry about Thunder. I had to have my dog put to sleep last summer and I still miss him so badly everyday even though it was the right and humane thing to do... i know he will be waiting at the bridge for me though with a silly grin and a wagging tail. My prayers are with you both.

    I am so very sorry for you and your family. The best thing that you and your family can do for Thunder is not be selfish and be strong for him. When Ginger finally was pts, it was because she started having siezures and for 3 months before that her personality changed, she was not our Ginger girl anymore. It was the hardest most painful decision my husband and I have ever had to do, but we did the right thing for her. I won't lie to you it will be devastating to all of you but Thunder will thank you for it, trust me, he will be well again and able to play and do all the things that he loves to do at the Bridge. You and your family will get through it, it will not be easy and it will hurt like hell but you have had alot of wonderful years with Thunder and have a ton of beautiful memories to keep you going, most importantly you have Thunder's love!!!! That stay's with you forever!

    God bless all of you, you will be in my prayers.

    That's what I keep trying to tell myself. It's gonna hurt, I'm gonna cry and it will be sad no matter what, it's un avoidable. But I have to also get on with life cause it's life that's happeneing right now. Loved ones get sick and pass away but in the end they are happier and wouldn't want you moping around while they are free and happy.

    I'm usually the one giving all the feed from the other end, it's so weird to have it come to me. I feel like I'm reading it for someone else's dog.
