KirkV Posted January 13, 2008 Report Share Posted January 13, 2008 Well my Lab would have been 14 this March but I could not let him get any worse. He has been loosing weight for about 2 months due to finacky eating, and has had a few accidents in the house he never ever did before. I could take a few of those but he started limping bad on the front leg as if it were killing him. He had a fatty cyst removed from it 2 years ago the size of a grapefruit under the muscle. He had been on Phenobarbitol for 12 years, and Rimidyl for the artritus for 2 years. I just could not stand it and took him to the vet and had him put down yesterday morning. He had many good hunts in his life and was pampered better than most children as we have none. Rest in peace Vito! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Andrea Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 So sorry Kirk. I know how you feel. It is never easy. But he is no longer in pain and he lived a very long and happy life. I know those words don't take away the pain and guilt but time will help. I miss my dog very very much. There won't ever be another on like him...
