Doggy Heaven just got a new member..

She is a SWEET Great Dane named Abby...
She was getting sicker and sicker, and I just couldn't let her suffer. We talked to the vet about it first, and she agreed that it was the right thing to do. Seems it was something related to her pancreas.
I'm sad, but I'm ok. I thought we were going to lose her in Janurary, so I was fortunate enough to have gotten a few extra month with her. And I made the most of it. But the last month has been hard, so I'm actually relieved.
And getting the blessing from the vet helped. I was just so afraid that I was giving up on her, but the vet assured me that I wasn't.
So anyway, it's gonna be weird not having the big grey dog around here, but that's part of life. I grew up on a ranch, so god knows I've seen the entire circle of life, and death doesn't scare me. I mourn the death and rejoice in the life all at the same time.
So anyway, I'm off to Wildflower with the family. Hopefully the woodstock of triathlon will take my mind off of things..
Ya'll have a good weekend. And hug your pets for me!
Stay safe
Denise

Oh Denise - I'm SO sorry. Many hugs to you and your family.
It sounds like you did the right thing, and it's always nice when you have a vet's re-assurance. Sometimes they are better judges than we are, since they're less personally involved.

My thoughts are with you. I had a very good friend who lost her dog also today. Why do they live so short compared to us? It's not fair.

big {{{hugs}}}!!
I know how hard it is, especially with a dane! I grew up with one and we had to put her down b/c of cancer. We(well my dad and my step family) have 2 sisters that we adopted a few years back, but they are getting older- can't imagine life without the two biggest little lap dogs!
Big hugs and I hope you are doing ok
