Sad News!

So after 11 years of having my pup, Baylor, we had to put him down april 13. In March he had been diagnosed with diabetes and I had been giving him insulin shots twice a day for a month. He wasn't getting any better and was losing weight. He became weaker and wasn't able to get up on his own. I felt so bad for him. He would bark at me in the middle of the night just so I would come move him a little so he was more comfortable or so he could go outside. I was not ready to let him go. But I really think he knew with all the changes happening he didn't want to do it anymore.
We got the kids and took them to the vet so we could all say goodbye. That was really tough for me. Even now 2 months later I choke up and miss him terribly. He was a very good dog and loved by many. I will get a picture up as soon as I can.

I'm not even a dog lover and this totally made me tear up. So sorry you had to say goodbye to Baylor. I remember when he swallowed that sock and you were ready to kill him... :)

I know just how you feel, our dog of 16 years passed away in July, my kids were so devasted that is the only dog they knew, they really become apart of the family. I am sorry about your loss !!
