So sad right now....

[emily_in_nc]

What sad news....I have tears in my eyes. We had to put our Boston Terrier, Pepper, down on Dec. 18th (she was three months shy of her 15th birthday), and it was also a very difficult decision -- she had started having cluster seizures. It was possible she could have lasted, but I couldn't stand to see her go through another bout of them; and I finally decided that keeping her alive would have served not her, but us. Putting her down ranked right up there among the few saddest days in my life.

You and Abby are in my thoughts.

Hugs to you all from me.

RM- Sorry you're having to go through this - it's SO hard. Deciding when we should let them go, what to do to try to save them, how far to go, etc. etc.

I'm just reading your post, so it's possible the decision is already made by now. In any case, Cocoa (my choc lab) and I are sending out compassion and healing thoughts to all the Amoses, especially Abby. We hope all goes well for all of you.

Awww...sorry to hear that sad news.

we recently went through the cost vs. health problem with one of our dogs. She was having severe neck pain, yelping at night and during the day when she tried to stand up. The MRI alone would be $1000 and the surger would be another $2000 if needed. we decided to investigate a more holistic approach. In the end, it worked out, but it was a hard decision. You'll make the right decision, so hurt yourself too much in the process.

Sending thoughts your way.
