Bee
Sorry to hear about your friend, I know how hard that hurts when you lose a friend that has been with you for so long. When I lost mine, I was in a different state and my parents had to take her to be put down. I pulled over and cried for ten minutes when I found out (I was driving to school at the time).


Also, wanted to say thanks for the potatoe advice

Is this where Bee lives? I've been looking all over.

Bee, I left you a photo on a couple of other threads.

Be, I am so sorry to hear about your dog. She has had a great life...just know that! It is one of the hardest things we have to do, when we have to let one go.
Congrats on the new pups....I want a puppy!!!!!

Hey Bee! Your inbox is just a little bit full!

She knows you love her, Bee.

 

[Dace]

I agree with Noobie....she knows that you love her. You gave her a wonderfully blessed life and you in turn were blessed by her.

You guys are the greatest....you always know how to make me feel better. I'll be doing the deed this weekend, I do believe. I just can't make her wait any longer.

Dac, I'll look for those pics!

BB, I'll clean out that mailbox....it fills up before I know it.

colowyo0809, I hope that works out for you....let us know, by all means, if you aren't in the hospital.

She's been on Motrin all year but I've had to increase the dosage over time and now am worried about the affect on her liver and possibly internal bleeding.

She lost interest in her dinner last spring...would just walk away from it after a few bites. I started doctoring it up for her in enticing ways and had even made my own dog foods for her....she has been eating since then but it has to be really soft foods. Her teeth are about gone.

I swore to myself that I wouldn't do any extra measures like I am currently doing. That when her quality of life as she knew it were diminished that I wouldn't make her suffer here for much longer....then I couldn't do it. I'm weak.

This past summer I took her to the old swimming hole and washed her good, babied her all day and she seemed to spring back and start doing better. I don't know if it were the swim after a long, hot summer or the extra attention or just her last flash in the pan....but she has went down hill since then.

She is only the second dog I've ever personally owned. I tend to get one and keep it until it dies or has to be put down. I'm not really a dog collector nor do I tend to fall for every stray or puppy that I see...I've been very content to just own two dogs at a time so they will not lack for dog companionship. I got Jake for her four Christmases ago because she seemed lonely. Now Jake will be lonely...hence the addition of new puppies.

Where does it all end????

I'm calling the vet this week and making an appointment. She has been a wonderful and beautiful dog and a blessing on this family. She came to us just when we needed her and she needed us...that makes for the best dogs, I think.

Im sorry Bee. I have been looking for your journal and I just realized this is it. We had to put the dog of 18 years down summer before last, she had a tomber (is that right) come up AGAIN. She was old and feeble anyway, so took her to the vet to be put down. I miss her. Id like to say something comforting but havent a clue what to say. But Im now subscribed to your journal!!!
