We had to put Sugar to sleep yesterday. She has been having good and bad days for the past month or so. If she had a bad day or two then she would always seem to rally.

But last saturday was he last good day. She ate well. Moved OK. Seemed happy and wagged her tail a lot. She barely ate on Sunday. Did not eat on Monday and couldn't even stand on Tuesday. He lymph glands had swollen to the point where she had difficulty breathing. So we did what we said we would do. We made sure she didn't suffer any more than necissary. Once it was clear there weren't any good days left for her then the decision was clear.

She passed peacefully and surrounded by the people who loved her and we burried her in one of her favorite spots.

She was a very good dog and she had a very good life.

I am sorry, that is very difficult. We did the same last Feb....  it is not easy. ever.

Thanks. I put down my great dane last september. She was my dog and I had raised her from a pup. It's hard to lose them, but the good times more than outweigh the bad. We are very lucky if we ever meet a person who gives us the same unconditional love a dog gives.

Very true. I remember your dane.    I waited until I was ready to get another. I'm glad I did..... :)

So sorry Dan.   But as you said she is not suffering.   My prayers and thoughts are with you and your family.  Toy
