My mom called me last night as we were coming home that our family dog gypsy was on her last breaths. they found her out side not moving and breathing very shallow. as of 11 pm last night she was in a coma and not moving just a shell of her self, but as she always was a strong dog she didnt want to leave just yet. she stayed alive so we could all say bye to her. just like blase this is the 1st time in a very long time I saw my dad really emotional. Hell when his dad died, he shed a few tears at the grave but nothing like this.
we've had her since a pup, my dad and I drove to Indiana to get her she was a purebreed brittany used for bird hunting and shows. We won quite a few shows with her but more so she was a good dog. In recent years shes been getting progressively worse, losing sight and moving a bit slower, but she could still get up and run and play. I noticed last week that she was not eating very much at all when we watched her. My dad always said we need to put her down, but when my mom finally conceded he couldnt do it.
As of 11 pm last night he was sitting on the back porch with her, laying her head on a pillow and letting her know its okay, she didnt have to lay there next to him anymore she can go and run those fields.

no offense but everything dies, its just a little tougher when its been part of your everyday for 14 years and you watched it from a 2 month old pup to a 14 year good old dog

....Typical of some little pissface, spouting the obvious just to get a rise out of someone. rolleyes:
Simply typing what Nyck typed months ago in threads of people posting about deaths. Just subsitute animals with people. rolleyes:
I posted it about someone who made a post about someone from their school dying who they hardly talked to or their 3rd cousins great grandmother on their dads side. not a close friend, relative or pet http://www.groundforce1.com/forums/view ... ol#1029047
I even SAID it in that thread
but whatever,
OT: Ill be going over to help bury her tomm.
