Our Poor Sugar Bear Is Dying!

You're being selfish and torturing this dog.

Vet says it's time? Dog doesn't eat for 5 days? You force-feeding it baby food? WTF!

Find someone smart who you trust. Like the vet, who knows these diseases way better than you do do! You're not seeing that it's obviously time to put your beloved dog to sleep.

C'mon Bagiant, don't let your grief make your pet suffer. Yes, it sucks, but it's part of the covenant we have with things we love.

If things are really as bad as you say, the only way now to love this dog and to honor all it's given you and your family is to let it go.

C'mon Bagiant.

Don't worry about a TR Bob, you have much more important things to attend to than entertain the peanut gallery here. Hope things start looking up for you. I know first hand how hard it is to put a dog down(one of the most difficult things I've ever had to do), but if the dog is suffering sometimes it's the right thing to do.

Its tough to let a pet go.
I'm sorry about SB and I hope Faye is feeling better soon.

really sorry to hear all that you have been dealing with the past month Bagiant. Hopefully all ends well. Good Luck

She's gone! At about noon today our Sugar Bear...or Sugar Baby Bear as Faye calls her took her last breath on earth and was last seen joining our Gypsy Rose at the Gates of Heaven. We took her to the vet to sent to a pet cremation company who also did Gypsy and Faye's former Pekinese, Townsley. SB was 12 years, 6 months and 1 week old. RIP you sweet girl. SB was the most kick back dog you ever saw. Unlike her brothers and sisters, she was never in a fight with any of them. All she did was take care of all of them. If one of the other dogs laid down next to her, they were surely in for a cleaning of their ears and they all seemed to enjoy it as they never got up and left. We also called her the SUPER SCOOPER as when their bowls were put down for dinner, she just chowed down like no one else, and if the other dogs didn't eat fast enough, they soon had a "partner" helping them finish their dinner. At least Tommy put her up on Faye's bed last night, and Faye told her it was OK to let go. I laid down with her on the floor this morning when I woke up , and carried her outside to potty. She gave me a few final wags of her tail glad that I was holding her up even though she never went potty. Before I left for work, I had a feeling that I might never see her alive again so I gave her my final kisses and hoped that she would give me a lick to say goodbye, but her lips were so dry she just couldn't do it. I'll just have to remember how generous she was with the former kisses in her lifetime. Bye bye Sugar Bear. We loved you so much!

Ironically...if there is any irony in this...we had gone to our primary physician yesterday and they took blood tests. At about 8:30 am, Faye's doctor called and told her SHE might have kidney disease. Ain't life grand? He's referring her to a specialist so you'll have to tune in later for her results.

Bagiant,

Sorry to hear your dog passed away, from the sounds of things she didn't suffer much, which is good.

So sorry for the loss of your beloved pet. I hope your wife make out well on her MD visit. As Rick stated, you have a lot on your plate at the moment. I will keep you and your wife in my prayers.

Chilcoot, I would NEVER let an animal of mine suffer. Faye and I had already discussed putting her down if she was suffering. But at least we had another 7 weeks of pleasure with her from the time the vet said to put her down. Vets don't know everything, and this vet already knew that I would give her every last chance to survive, no matter what! If she was suffering like she did her last days on earth, I would surely have put her down. But she seemed fine for a while. It's just tough to put someone down who you love so much!

I know how painful it is to lose a good buddy like SB.
It's OK to cry.
Faye may be in for some difficult times and you 2 will get through it.
With your support and understanding and a lot of love, you both will survive.
Sorry for this,but you were just dealt some really SHITTY hands.
So much to deal with,all at once.
Now,I want to cry.
It's just too painful.

So sorry for your loss.
