Hugs and loving compassion for you dear friend...our dog Sanford was just 12 when he went quickly this way. His back end became useless, began shallow breathing & lost control of his functions. My husband & son carried him into the van and when we got to the vet they carried him in. He lay down moaning. We knew it was time.
The doc of course wanted to run tests. We said no...it was time. The vet thought he'd blown a clot. We Sid our goodbyes, and he went quickly & without pain. This was 2 years ago last month & I still cry and miss him.

It's one of the most heartbreaking things we as pet lovers go through. Time is the only healer.
Know we all are sending out healing thoughts and love to you....
