re: Help me decide whether or not to put the family dog down

Had to put down one of my dachshunds 5 months ago bc of an adrenal gland tumor and severe diabetes that had resulted in total blindness.

He was ten years old and I still cry about that. His older "brother", who is a 17 year old doxie went thru what I can only describe as severe depression. It was heartbreaking to watch. Damn it. I'm frickin' tearing up now. Fortunately Toby (the 17 yr old) has come around and is doing great now. He's like the energizer bunny..he keeps going and going and going.

Sorry you're faced with making this decision. I know exactly how much it hurts.
