I'm so sorry. He was a stunning boy and I always loved seeing his pictures you posted.

You have received such good advice from Batmom and others, This kind of post is often the first one people make. It was mine with my first boy Jack. He was the sweetest most gentle boy in the world. I was beyond horrified when he bit me when I tried to take away a bone. I had been able to take anything out of his mouth before but this was his first bone. I got the similar advice from people here and I follow with every new dog I get. I wouldn't take away all her toys etc. This is not a punishment and she does get to have fun. Just keep back the fabulous reward treats for training only - no other time. You sound much more relaxed and I'm glad of that. You are not alone and so very many of us have been in the same place. It'll be fine!

Just as a matter of interest which doesn't likely help you, Amicar has been given pre dental to children with VonWillebrands ( a clotting disorder) for years. Still I would want to know why his platelets are low too. Doing the tick panel may be the way to start anyway Kerry. I'm sorry this all so complicated for you right now.

Wow when I started reading this I thought did I post this without remembering? Jordy is exactly the same! He is 4 and wasn't a racing washout but he is 4 going on 2! He definitely needs to learn self control and I also have to watch that his jumping and twirling doesn't land him on top of his 13 year old brother. He's only been home for 2 months so he is a work in progress. This thread has been very helpful!

It could be anything but my Joshy would go through phases when he would choose to sleep downstairs for whatever reason and then switch and be upstairs. I would miss mine too if I had an only but I always have one or two in the room with me.

The Duchess is missed by so many Marc. Happy Birthday at the bridge your Grace!

I'm so sorry Robin.

I'm so sorry Tena that your wonderful girl had to leave you.

I'm so sorry. You're right. When you get to 14, you should never have to hear that word osteo. So sickeningly wrong. I'm glad you didn't leave without her too. She was meant to be with you.

I'm so very sorry. Spud will be missed by so many.

Special girl you will be missed. I'm sorry Kyle but so glad she graced your life.

Robin I am so very very sorry.

Everything works great again now. Thanks Jeff.

oh and the view new content button isn't working

Can't edit and when I post the three green flashing bars go on and and on and on until I refresh.

Jey I'm so very sorry your dear boy had to leave you. Joseph was indeed special and he will be missed. Hugs to you and Grammy.

Print out Philosopher 77's post. let your instructor read it and ask if s/he can accomodate that kind of experience for izzy cause that really is bang on what you need.

Oh no I am so terribly sorry. I can't even imagine your pain.

We don't have those available to us here as you guys do there so please keep that in mind when making suggestions. We have very few specialists without travelling really great distances.Not everyone can do that.

Carrie there is absolutely no reason that Lily is not a candidate for amp/chemo. I am suspecting the vet just believes it is not of benefit in the long run. She is otherwise healthy and has no limb problems. Amputation alone will absolutely not buy you more time. I know how confusing this is. there is so much information to absorb. Whatever decision you make is the right one, trust me. I know how much you love her and no has her interests at heart more than you do. There is no guilt attached to whatever choice you make. You know my number. Call it anytime. As for palliative care, I did it with three of mine, there is no way in hell they EVER suffered the "worst kind of pain". Their lives were of varying lengths after diagnosis but their days were good. That was the deal we made.

No critisism at all. If you're ready to do it then congratulations! Relax as much as you can cuz that will help you both, enjoy and take pics! Oh and black means it will turn out perfectly!!

The degree of trepidation you are showing after 4 pages of people saying the hugest majority of greys adapt to homes with no significant issues or issues easily overcome with time and patience would make me think that perhaps you do need to step back and rethink your decision.
