    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.

    Please, if your dog is arthritic look into getting it Elk Velvet Antler. Look up my posts on it, PM me, or look it up on a search engine; but please if you love your dog and want it to live many more years consider this option. I've seen so many posts on here about dogs needlessly suffering. I can't make a new post about EVA every time so this plea is going here. EVA also helps with other ailments such as anemia.

    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.






    Her best friend Leroy spent time with her also.

    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.

    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.
    rest and sleep softly sweet locke..

    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.
