Amanda, I am so sorry. We hand our whole hearts over to the animals we love--no protection at all. A great love but such a painful one.

"My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure." O. Sacks

(((Oh Amanda!!)))
My last German Shepherd had something similar (actually sounds almost identical) and it was a degenerative spine/nerve problem. I had been to a specialist when I first noticed problems and he said the treatments are not that great. I also opted to just wait it out & make the hard decision when the time came.
We make these decisions from our heads- but it's our hearts that bear the brunt of the pain.To train a dog, you must be more interesting than dirt.

Thank you all for the kind words. As the days have passed I still miss my little girl but I know we made the right choice. She would have had a crummy life if we hadn't said goodbye. You could tell she didn't like when she felt wet and I don't think she would have gotten where she could move very freely.
On a more positive note, my co-workers sent me flowers for the loss. I just love that I work somewhere who understand my animals mean so much to me. And Jens has started to learn he is the only pup in the house, I think he doesn't like it but he seems to understand.Amanda

I'm so sorry, Amanda.
At least I don't leave slime trails.
