My Dog what to do What to do!

[Bobcat]

Some years ago , I had to put my German Shepherd down as his hindquarters became paralyzed and he had lost control of his bowels . He knew something was wrong and his face showed it . He had been a fixture with the family and the kids had known him ever since they could walk . Talk about something that was hard to do . His Vet agreed to come to the house and give him the shot here on familiar territory with his family with him . He went to sleep with my youngest holding him in her arms .... as I said , that was the hardest thing I had ever done .
Unfortunately , I will be going through that again as I adopted a 10 year old Doberman about 10 months ago who belonged to a Marine who was deployed and had to give up his dogs , and because Billie was 10 , no one wanted her .... especially since this breed doesn`t make it much past 10 . Good news is that she just had her 11th birthday this past December .
When her time comes , I`ll have this same Vet come the the house again .
Considering that dogs give so much companionship and love , that`s the least I can do .
