Sad day here, had our Gracie put down this morning. We've seen this day coming but it kind of sneaked up on us. She'd been having trouble getting up the stairs from our bedroom in the basement so I took her to the vet Friday. He gave us some pain pills and anti-inflammatories to manage the arthritis in her hips but she got much worse over the weekend and stumbled going up a couple times and would have fallen if I hadn't been right behind her to catch and support her. She stopped going downstairs during the day which was her favorite place to be and this morning she really didn't want to come up at all, so I knew it was time. She's been a good little farm dog, fearless and loyal and we're going to miss her. It's a comfort to me to know that we did the right thing for her and she's not in pain any more.

Oh Blue, I'm so sorry. It's one of the hardest things. So pretty. My Gracie is the one I'm worried about too. The last two days she was just sitting and crying..then laying down and crying. But today..she's better. I'll be thinking..oh oh..it's time, then she acts better. She shivers every morning until I get her pain pills into her.

It is hard. But I love my furbabes too much to let them suffer. You know, they are so brave and stoic .. if they show pain, they must REALLY be in pain.

I know. I'm worried this new pain med will wear off. You know how it works for a while, then it doesn't. That's what happened with the last. When this one stops working so well, I don't think I'll go up, or to another. I'm like you, don't want them to suffer. One good thing..knocking on wood..haven't seen seizures in a while! I wonder if the pain was causing the seizures.

My Gracie used to seize. Took a while but we finally found a food that didn't cause seizures.
