Goodbye sweet Bear
« on: July 29, 2008, 07:41:31 am »
Bear suffered another episode of seizures Sunday night. We think that his medication level slipped, as he had two days with increased energy and playfulness. Unfortunately, the other effect of this - of course - was that his threshold for seizures lowered. We knew that increasing his medications again to keep him free of further seizures wasn't an option for his quality of life, so we made the difficult decision to have him euthanized yesterday morning.  A tough decision, but the right one. We feel lucky to have enjoyed his 'old self' over the weekend.

I know you'll all join me in wishing him sunny days and cool breezes full of chasing birds, romping with buddies, and eating all the hotdogs and watermelon he wants. 

Rest in peace my big sweet boy.  :'(

I'm so sorry for you. It's of course the right thing to do, but definately the hardest thing we have to do.

What a blessing to have been able to enjoy him fully last weekend. The right thing to do is often not the easiest. We're here for you.

 :'( :'( :'( Oh how very sad. Don't worry though he'll be waiting for you at Rainbow Bridge and will be in perfect health. There is a huge lump in my throat right now. It always hurts for so long when we loose one of our special babies. He is free from seizures and pain. I'm sure he is so glad you made the tuff choice to set his beautiful spirit free. Bless you.
