We may have to make a decision about our dog in the not too distant
future. He is a Groenendahl that we adopted 7 years ago when he was
5-1/2. My wife took him to the vet today for a raccoon rabies shot. He
has been limping slightly for months. It started off as a sever limp but
seemed to be improving and attributed to his old age and arthritis. He
has lost 10 pounds in the last year, and last week I noticed a clicking
sound in his hips. The vet says that it is a degenerative condition. He
also detected an irregular heart beat, and said that considering his
health problems, he is in remarkably good condition. He is still eating
and drinking and eliminating, and he is very active. He gets a minimum
of one 1 km walk every day, sometimes longer and sometimes twice a day.

He is a loving and loyal dog and very obedient, but the vet confirmed
today what we have known for a while, that he doesn't have much longer.

Letting go is the hardest thing we have to do. My heart goes out to you
and your family.

My cat Annie made it for 17 years, and in the last year of her life, she
had cancer surgery twice. It came back for the 3rd time and I was not
going to have Annie go through surgery again. I knew she was circling
the drain, even though the vet was ready and willing to put her through
it again.

I haven't had to put down too many pets. My wife took our Bouvier des
Flandres in when she was so crippled that she could not walk. She got
to the vet's office and just couldn't go through with it and got some
medication to keep her comfortable but it didn't do much good, so she
ended up having to go back a few days later.

The last one that I took myself was one of my Labs. He was suffering
from congestive heart failure. He had been on medication for months, but
it wasn't doing much good anymore. He was so swollen that he could no
longer sit. We had been going to the vet at least once a week for months
and he knew the routine. I walked him in without a leash and he went
over and stood on the scales without being told. The girl at the counter
knew what we were there for and said "This is going to be a hard one",

I went in with him and held him while he got the needle. I was in tears
on the way out. :-(

I am really hoping that Luc drops dead of a heart attack one day on his
morning walk. I always thought that was a good way for a dog to go.

It's brutal. It doesn't get any easier with each succeeding pet.

When I took my cat Mugsy, I got the vet on the phone and told
him I was bringing her in and for what, then I told him Have the
bill ready, or be prepared to mail it to me, because I'm not
sticking around once the deed is done. This puzzled him, and
I don't know why. He had the bill ready. Every time I see people
standing at the counter in tears waiting for the bill to be ready,
I think, I feel your pain. Last thing you need is to be standing there
in misery.

1. I'm not a "right - winger", whatever that means (and sometimes I just
like to josh blake and his "leftist" elk...or channel "Tim May", lol...)

2. I once bought a 45 of the East German national anthem in a record store
in East Berlin (in the 70's). On the flip side was - you guessed it! - the
_Internationale_...

I have all sorts of "subversive" commie stuff from my trips behind the Iron
Curtain packed away in boxes in the closet, hope "Tailgunner Joe" McCarthy
doesn't come a - knockin' on my door...

I even have a nice Lenin wall medalion hanging on the wall near a
bookcase...it's a lovely platinum - gold color. And I was once a member of
the US - GDR (East Germany) Friendship Society...

See, that's kind of my worst concerns. Mickey, our rat, yes our rat, is
