I am losing my Grit's Dog

[fabsroman]

I am very sorry to hear about this. Six years ago, I had to deal with a golden retriever that was suffering from kidney failure. It was extremely hard to try and make decisions as to his well being. The vet told us that for several thousands of dollars, they could probably keep him alive for another 3 months, but his quality of life would be horrible and he would be in a lot of pain. It took my girlfriend and I a couple days to decide what to do, but we ultimately decided that we should have him put to sleep. Witnessing that was terrible. Having him pass away in my arms was terrible. I cringe every time I think of having to make that decision about Nitro, and I hope I never have to make it. Lordy, don't even get me started thinking about my parents. Val, I'm about to start crying just thinking about this, so I cannot imagine what you are going through.

Keep your chin up and remember that we will eventually meet them in heaven. Life is short, but heaven is eternal.
