Thanks Spa, that means so much to me. He is 15 and my first baby. He made our house a home. He is having more bad days lately and is going through a tough time at the moment. But they have passed before and maybe it will pass again, I don't know. We put him on Rimadyl and he seems so much better. But I think he may have degenerative myelopathy that German Shepherds get. Either that or hip dysplasia. He will let us know when it is time, I'm sure of that. I don't want to do it too soon, but I also do not want him to suffer..... it's a very hard decision and one that I have to feel that I did the right thing or I will never forgive myself. So I cherish every single day we have together and treat him like the King that he is!
I know that feeling my friend. Max was about 11 1/2 when he was diagnosed with Cushings. I asked about the meds and they said it would only make his life about six months longer and the quality of life would go down. Needless to say, I let him be happy until his last days without the drugs.
I know how much Wolfie means to you and it will hurt. Hurts just as bad as the passing of any loved one. My daughter and I still talk about Max and Bella and we remember them fondly now, and on occasion a few tears still spill.
They come into our lives and give love and acceptance, and you will never forget it. I'm sorry your at the time the decision must be made, I know how bad that feels. Very sorry.

I finally saw Marley and me last weekend. I couldn't stop crying at the end..... now I wish I hadn't seen it at all. We are facing that same decision here in the next couple of months I'm afraid and it totally SUCKS!!! I'd love to see the movie Guido mentioned, but I don't think I can handle it right now.

I can't wait to go to the final Harry Potter film! I'm going opening night though because it's too crowed and I hate winding up with a crappy view.
Guido the dog movie sounds good.
Bud, Marley is tuff at the end but the movie is really good. I remember reading Marley and Me to Flora when she was young, and I was crying like a baby last few pages............so was Flora.
