Its on its way my brother..... I wish you and ALL of your family the best.

So sorry to head that Andy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

You and your family are in our thoughts up here.

Thanks guys. The vet gave us a bit of a break. The bill for today was only $600 something. Besides this, I didn’t mention it, but my Mom’s canary also died this week. She also had to spend $100 taking it to the vet (different vet, bird specialist) because it was sick. So, that’s $1,100 in vet bills in one week, and two dead pets. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> My Mom is really down.

When we got home, Dad had dug her grave. He buried her with one of her bones. We all held each other and cried. She was the best dog I ever had. She will be greatly missed. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Sorry to hear that about Sallie, Andy. Best wishes and prayers to all, be strong.

Sincere condolences Andy on your and your family's loss. The company of a dog and the love they give is as close as you ever get to unfettered "family" love.

Andy, I am sorry that I saw this thread too late! I am very sorry about your loss!!! It is never easy to lose a pet that has been such a good friend. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Andy,

We are so sorry to hear that Sallie had to be put down. We cried too as we looked at her smiling face in your pictures. She was a beautiful dog and you can see from her photos she was loads of fun too.

I have had that sad opportunity six times in my life. Always had dogs. They always die. Seems their life clock runs so much faster than ours and they age at a high rate. Sadly you always end up saying goodbye to your beloved pet.

We grieve with you this day Andy as you start a new chapter in life without Sallie. Be comforted that she is in no pain and waits for you at The Rainbow Bridge. God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow Andy. And God bless Sallie too.


They ask for so little and give so much.




Peace.

Andy, my heartfelt condolences to you and your family.

I'm so sorry for your loss. A couple years ago, just after Christmas we had to have my Mom's dog, Buck, put to sleep due to a hemangiosarcoma. I was visiting and noted that something was wrong; he'd stand up, take a few steps, then collapse and pant. When we got him to the animal hospital's 24-hour emergency care center over in Louisville, they did tests and told us that the cancer had ruptured his spleen and that the reason he was so weak was that he didn't have enough blood circulating to carry oxygen. They ran blood tests and said it had spread to his liver, and was terminal. He was unlikely to survive surgery and if he did, he wouldn't live long enough to recover from it.

We cried and decided to have him euthanized -- then we sat with him as he went under. I still mourn his loss even though he wasn't my dog. Insensitive people have told me, "It's only a dog." They don't understand how big a part of our lives a pet can be. So, I know exactly what you're talking about and going through. It's OK to mourn, even though some people won't understand; Sallie will hold a permanent place in your heart as a beloved lost companion and family member, and that's OK too.

I am sorry Sallie didn't make it, Andy. Losses of loved ones are hard, even when they are not human.

I am sooooo sorry to hear this!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Andy,
I am so sorry for your loss. We also have a Weim and I can only imagine how hard this must be. Our prayers go out to you and your family.
