Said goodby to my dog today

[wabi]

Not sure how he found my family, but over 10 years ago he showed up on the front porch and never seemed like he felt he wasn't at home here. He was a great companion for the whole family, but starting a couple years ago he had really declined in health. First a bout with tetanus that almost took him and did leave him weak & without any spring in his step anymore. He had a heart murmur and an enlarged prostate. A few evenings ago his back leg collapsed on him. He just couldn't put any weight on it. Of course the vet wasn't in until today and when I finally got him in to be examined the diagnosis wasn't good.
He had completely separated all the ligaments and tendons in his knee joint.
The Doc said at his age and condition the most merciful treatment would just be to go ahead and end his suffering.

RIP Frisco!!!!!!!!!


One of the hardest goodby's I ever had to say, but he's at rest now.

In my experience, losing a pet is worse than losing a human relative, and my heart aches for you in this time of loss. Cherish the memories of Frisco.

I don't want to think of the day my little buddy isn't with me anymore!!

Sorry for the loss.

I don't think a person can say it enough Sorry for your loss !

Absolutely! Words cannot express the loss between a boy and his dog. Dogs bring us down to our basic beings. They love us without condition or limit, cherish us, they are honest with us, they are forever faithful and forgiving, they show us purity in spirit and mind and they would never throw us under a bus. They are perfect beings that gift us love and companionship. They make us cry, smile and laugh. No other human has ever had all those qualities. No human will ever touch my heart like a dog can.

Sorry to hear of your friend going on ahead.
Dang business of a short life can lead to knowing multiple dogs, but no two the same.
Lots of them here, but those passed are remembered kindly.
Yep ,the ol turn up and let you stay with him type dog. L.O.L.
Been along time but seen it.
Thanks for sharing.
