hugs. two years ago we had to put to sleep our dachsund we'd had for almost fourteen years. it was so hard, but she was really ready to go. bye tim

I am so sorry (((beeliz))) Our animals are such a part of our lives it leaves such a hole in our hearts. Bye Tim godspeed. Joann

Beeliz,
I'm so sorry about Tim, I am faced with the very same problem w/my 13 yr.old Lab/shep, she has been on incontinence medication of several years but recently she has been leaking everywhere. She also has an increased thirst, our vet thinks it might be diabetes, we have an apt. this Thursday.

I'm so sorry, it just stinks all around....I know my Jojo's day is coming, I don't think I will ever be ready for it.

Take care,
Sheila

I can understand how you feel. We seem to be blessed/cursed with pets that live to old age. It is so hard to lose them. They are almost like our children. I believe Tim is in a happier place right now, where he has no pain, only joy and happiness. He is sharing that place with my Tipper, Rusty, Snoopy and Pursey.

Thank you all so much for your warm thoughts..it feels nice to know how many people out there can relate to losing a loved one like that...It really does warm my heart,thank you xo
