My mom's dog has to be put to sleep.
She bred him and still has his mom.
Bear.
He's a pure border collie.
He was born on my birthday (17th).
He was the 4th puppy of the litter and had
a black number "4" on top of his head
although as he grew up you couldn't see it
because he has quite a long coat.
He's got a tumour growing through
his heart and it keeps bleeding into his
pericardium.

tml
a couple weeks ago he collapsed - no
previous signs.
My mom's current partner is a vet so he
had him in to check him over and said he
had a weak heart and they put him on some
drugs.
Bear, never really got better and so today
they took him to a cardiac specialist and
thats what they found.
Although he hasn't had any bleeding
(nosebleeds etc).

That is terrible news!!! I remember how
sad I was when I had to have my beloved
boss lady put to sleep. I took a day off
from work. I'm so sorry your mom has to
go through that.
There are some really sweet "dog poems"
out there, maybe you could find one that
your mom would like and have it framed
with bear's picture. We did that for my
dad when his dog passed. He still has
it.

Kia, I have a 14 year old poodle,
.Monique.
I'm *dreading* the day she dies/has to be
put down. I'm going to cry like a little
girl.
she's been such a huge part of my life.
Being that i'm an only child, she was
always there for me to cry to, talk to,
etc. When my parents continually fought.
She was there with me through
everything.
I can't finish....

Oh, that is so sad. I'm sorry, kia.
I just read a book called 'marley and me'
about a man and his relationship with his
dog and I was sobbing at the end when the
dog had to be put to sleep. I still have
many years left with my dog but i'm going
to be a mess when his time comes.

Oops! Sorry for giving away the ending
but it is the life of the dog so you have
to know it's coming! Nick gave it to me
for christmas, it's a really good book.
Get some tissues! I can't believe how
much I cried during it.

I'm sorry to hear that .Kia! Bear is no
longer in pain, so that's a positive
note....It's never easy losing a pet. I
sobbed when my bunny died, he was a week
shy from his 8th birthday, and he died in
my arms....It's a long story, but it was
the day I came to bring him back to our
real home that he passed.

Ah .Kia, i'm really sorry. I know how
much it hurts to lose a beloved animal,
they are part of the family. I still
miss my golden retriever, .Sunny, whom I
grew up with. He was such a character
and we all loved him so much.
Big hugs

Awww that's terrible news! My dog, who we
had for 11 (almost 12) years, had to be
put down because she kept having seizures
and she had a bad heart in the end. But
the worst part was, I was away in
university (10 hour drive away at the
time). I still miss her a lot and that
was 3 years ago. And last weekend my
friend's dog (my dog's sister) had to be
put down. She had just turned 15 in
december!!! But they both had long lives
and but they both just got worse in the
last couple of years. So it's all for the
best really. Poor things...
