Seattle,sorry to hear about that.Sounds like it's been a good dog.So,don't let it suffer.At some point,if the vet tells ya it's time, then do what's best for the dog.

Oh,sorry Seattle........Bad timing...Well,for anybody else out there in this type of spot,the only thing that has ever made this easier(for me) is to get other dog(s) before the old one passes.It will just keep your mind from being so much on the one dog....Distraction can help (at times.)

never a big animal person (not allowed to have any pets growing up) but sorry to hear about your loss and just remember the good times in the 20 years you were lucky to have.

Merry Christmas

i'm thinking of getting another. my rat isn't that old, but she's a very good dog, and the new one would hopefully learn from her. i think it helps to have a good dog to help train the newbie.


sorry seattle that you guys will grieve, but it sounds as tho your dog had a full, long life.

I think it's best to have atleast 2 dogs.They are pack animals.So,it's more natural to them to be with another dog than alone.Depends a lot on the breed though.The breed I have(minpins) doesn't do well alone(generally.)

When you have 2 of them,you realize just what lil cheapshot artists they are (with each other.)...And,yea,they are more equipped for the warmer climates.I think(one year) they were in the top ten dog breeds of just one major city....Phoenix.They are whores for a warm blanket.So,you always can control them(shut them up.)

Seattle, Im very sorry to hear about this. I love animals and wear a St. Francis medal all the time. Someone on here said it the best when it comes to animals you either get it or you dont. I think Dr. Richardson said that about Barbaro as well. My prayers are with you but i am glad that you had the dog for 20yrs and remember if it all works out well you will see him again someday.
