My Maddie was the second to last to go of our herd of two dogs and three cats. I was Covid Separated ftom Dr Mrs Abscate for most of Covid working downstate, but she was my constant companion.
It was really tough putting her down st 15 , but the vet told me she was in massive arthritic pain, which she hid really well.
I still miss her. My twins went from 10 to 25 with her.

RIP to my Herky (Hercules),
I had him for 13 years and and got him used (salvage title?)so total miles unknown. He was put down last week due to arthritis in his rear section becoming unfair to him. When people would complement the van, Iโd tell them itโs just a giant dog stroller/ entertainment device that I was allowed to drive.
Love the ones you have.
Brian

OMG, she could pull start a Vanagon!
Sucks on the arthritis but I agree with you, we've had to put down a couple dogs due to similar or worse things and I don't want a dog living in pain all the time.

Beautiful critter! Sadly, there's never a good way to know when is the *right* time. Always too soon for us, no matter when, but so hard to judge when it's right for them. Condolences, looks like a well loved family member.

When the time came we found Dr Roger Blankfeins quality of life assessment tool was excellent for guiding that tough decision. Pm me if you canโt find it
