Saying goodby to an old buddy
Wife has taken our old boy Sarge to vets to be put down this am. He's over 15 years old and has had issue for the last couple of years, but still enjoyed his life. Last night and this morning he just can't use his back legs anymore and stopped eating. Vet told us he will let you know when he's done a year ago and this morning he has. Sorry to lose such a good boy, but this is the way it goes with our furry buddies. RIP Sarge.

It’s taken me sometime to convey my sympathy to you.
I got a little dusty every time I read it. I had to do the same to my Airedale bitch Maggie and did the same is why.
My condolences to you and hope ol Sarge is doing what ever it was that he loved to do.

we have had to have our share put to rest .
as your wife was kissed goodby many times I have the long time pal lick my hand wag there tail as they go to sleep . several times the vets even broke out in tears along with us . undying love till the end is what they give . one a big old baby German Shepard 140 pounds worth my wife called her gentle giant Buddy was the most gentle dog I have seen
we had the vet come to our house . to make it easy on all of us I felt bad for Buddy the doc poked him a least a 1/2 dozen times to get a good vain . our two sons my wife and I were all there with him . as they grew up with buddy it was like he knew what we were doing and was very calm
but after the vet shoved the needle in on the 4th time Buddy bit ?/nipped my chest as I was holding his head in my lap and hands nothing bad did not leave a mark just enough pressure to say that hurts . as he looked at me , he had never in his life did any thing close . that brought tears to my eyes and still does . thinking about it I was up set at the vet for what seemed like torturing buddy .
our last one a 12 year old wiener dog wendy was just as sad for us for us my wife held her in her arms as wendy drifted off in my wifes lap and licking her hand as she left us my wife held her all the way home wrapped in a blanket wendy liked to sleep on we have three more dogs odds are the last ones as we are geting old also . but never say never when it comes to helping out a pet
if any thing it gets harder to say good by as we grow older and more aware of how Presious life is
if any story is true I hope the rainbow bridge is one of them
I am sure he had a great life and left a piece of his heart for the one he took of yours as he left
