They bring so much joy to our lives, don't they? I think they are the best part of us in a way - they love to play and completely enjoy life, even the simplest things make them happy. Our lives are made richer by their love and loyalty. Thank you so much for your words Spa, I can't begin to tell you how much they meant to me. Lucy is a sweetheart and she is just as lucky to have you as you are to have her. Spoiled rotten, I'm sure she is! So is mine, laying on my leather sofa right now. He still has that sparkle in his eyes and just chased a bunny the other night (one of his true joys in life!) and maybe that tweaked his leg. He'll let me know when it is time and I know it isn't time just yet. Thank heaven for Rimadyl that's all I can say. The aspirin just wasn't cutting it anymore and the vet gave us enough for a week to try and things just completely turned around. Very expensive, but his quality of life has improved dramatically and it's worth every penny and then some.
Bud, there is an odd thing about all of us. We feel we can not do pet ownership again after a loss, but then one day when you least expect it a animal captures your heart and you just can't walk away. Lucy, my dog now, did that to me. She was malnurished and looked god awful, but she was young and so sweet. I brought her home and never regreted it. I might have a few times when I had to teach a 1 year old how to toilet outside, but that was the only time. lol She's now a bit chunky, but not too fat and she's spoiled rotten. The love is just as great for her.

I should have stayed away from this page. I feel so bad for you.
Doing what you may have to do is one of the worst things one has
to do. They were only cats but I had to do it three times in a two year
period and it crushed me. One was 15, one 11, and one 9. I said I
would never have pets again because of it. Of course a year later I
had another cat. I never will have more than one animal at a time
again though. It's too tough to deal with at the end. I'm really sorry
you have to deal with it now. My only advice is think of the dog more
than yourself. Don't make him suffer just to keep him around.
Take care.

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.
