OMG Jackie! That is such a sad story! Your poor brother must've felt awful too! :(

Linda - WHAT are we going to do with you!!!!

Dennis - I'm sorry to hear about your hunting buddy. It is so difficult to watch one of our furry children on the decline, knowing that that day is now sooner rather than later. You wish that you can do more to help them. Just enjoy the time you have with him, and let him know how much you love them.

Yup....Ossa, our Chocolate Lab is going downhill rather fast. We've taken her to the vet, he prescribed Remadol, it helps some but the arth. is getting worse with each passing day......I know one day and very soon, I have to make the choice and believe me, I wish she would just lie down and go to sleep. I had to put one dog down, my first dog, the year I got home from the Navy, I will "NEVER" forget the look in her eyes when I left her to be put down, those big, brown eyes told me it was OK.....she was ready.........

Dennis - I kept on saying to Derby - "you always have to do things the hard way, don't you?". It was breaking my heart everyday, but it is true, they will let you know when they're ready and they wouldn't want to be with anyone else but their family.

Strange that this should come up now...I was watching a movie, where a man had to take his elderly Irish setter, "Debbie" to be put to sleep; she was arthritic, lost bladder control and had to be carried around...and I was teary-eyed, thinking that's just how I'd be if I lost my Annabelle (she be a ho')...

It's amazing how attached we become to these furballs of ours! :wink:

Oh Steph I had a look at your link, and if I could I would take everyone of those little faces home with me! I cry everytime I see unwanted and injured animals...I just want to hug them and give them the love they deserve.

I would too if I could. I wish I had the money to be able to set up something like Best Friends.

Like I keep joking to my friends and family - I'm going to one of those "cat ladies" you read about in the paper when I get old! :lol:

Well I am probably going to adopt "Taj" The only downside is I have to find a vet. I told them what happened and they were very sympathetic. I have two weeks to find one. Wish me luck.

Thanks so much for the link Steph.

Lindaloo - Taj is quite a handsome fella!!!! Best of luck with the vet situation. I'm sure that you'll find one that will be MORE THAN WILLING to provide services to your brood.

You're quite welcome about the link! I can't believe that I'm actually helping to get one of those guys adopted! :D

I told them about how I found them Steph. If everything goes through, do not be surprised if you get an email or something.

Me too Steph. I may have to find an equine veterinarian just for the horses.

BTW Miss Mary.... I was sent one of those candles this morning from Dr. McCoy. He will have to do much better than that.
