Twila, BIG hugs to you. You are doing the right thing and it will be important to know when to let Remington go too. Love him like always and treasure the memories of the comfort he has given you.
My Mick is sitting here with me and he sends a big long lick your way too.
Take care.

Oh Twila...my heart hurts with you...We buried our beloved Mac the Amazing dog in the backyard under the big oak tree last year and all we could do was to love him and let him pass on in peace. Please know that you are surrounded by love from all of us. Our other dog Hunter goes out there and lays on the spot in the shade on sunny days and I know she is telling Mac all sorts of stuff about us humans. Love you bunches GF..

I say I am so sorry with tears in my eyes, I feel your pain , we just lost our best friend Duke in April after 14 years. He had Renal failure and we did not know. We held on to him until we realized he was ready to go and we were prolonging his pain because we did not want to deal with the unthinkable pain.
He was such a part of us and we feel empty with out him.
I only hope I can become the person he thinks I am .

Twila, my heart goes out to you and your family. Tears are streaming down my face as I try to type.
Butch, my black lab, golden retriever, springer mix is 15 years old. Lately he has developed a cough, which worries me, but he's still himself, despite losing some weight. He still gets excited to go to the shop every day.
I dread taking him to the vet, fearing the diagnosis, but am anxious about the cough...wondering how much it bothers him. He never cries out, even when I help him into the van each day.
I've already decided that if the time comes, I'll have someone come to our home. (I pray that he'll pass on in his sleep next to my bed and spare me that awful decision). I've already decided to have him cremated and made arrangements with our funeral director that when I die, he will be with me in my casket. I've ordered a shipment of pet cremation urns, and will pick the nicest for him, of course.
It breaks my heart to know it's coming, but he's been blessed with a long life for a large dog. I know it's because he looks forward to going to work each day!
Enough tears....here's a funny story: I have a macho husband and 3 sons, who have grown up with Butch (the boys are 26, 27 and 28 now). They tease me all the time about taking Butch to the flower shop. He was supposed to be a great hunting dog (actually was, but that was years ago). Anyway, one day after work, Butch jumped out of the van, walked over to a flower growing in my yard, sniffed it, then trotted to the front door! My husband and boys saw it and cracked up! Hope it brings a smile to you too, Twila.
Love this quote from above: "I only hope I can become the person he thinks I am."
Butch and I send you and Remington love, hugs and kisses.

Thanks everyone for your kind words and support..can't tell you how much you all mean to me. I just love you guys so much!!! This morning I had my husband read what everyone had shared, and I think it was the first time he realized that we really are our own special family here no matter how many miles separate us even tho most of us have never met face to face.
Mikey, how my heart aches for you. Some day, hopefully, we'll have that chance to finally meet face to face. Until then, you know how I feel about you. I'm sure that we will still grow in a closer friendship.
It's so wonderful to know that I have wonderful friends that I can call upon, no matter the time. Last night, I was feeling the need to reach out. Remembering that our little Dianne (NavyBrat) hardly ever sleeps, was the perfect one to help he start laughing. Thanks Dianne!
Thanks to the Time Zone Change, Karla (Geebf) was still busy working in her shop on the other side of the world. I still say that it is YOU that has the "Thick" accent and not me? I'm sure that when I go to visit her in November, we won't any problem finding something to talk about. Just hoping that "Ma Bell" will be kind when the phone bill comes out...ha.
Thought you might like to see what the big guy looks like. They are not the most recent photos, but are all taken at the Oregon Coast. He Loves running on the Beach! As long as he is near water...he is a Happy Camper!! You've seen Jourmaine before in my profile page, the puppy is my sons yellow lab: Hunter (See Sher...we have a Hunter too).
