As alot of you know, we have been having health issues with memphis for the last few months. as this month progressed, he lost control of his bowels, and most of his mobility. Getting him outside took about 10 minutes, to walk approx 15ft. he was always falling down, when walking when just standing and even when he was pottying. it had gotten to the point he would cry when he was moving, and always hunched in his neck/back...
Today we made the decision to let him cross. he told us it was time, his eyes showed us. he will never be forgotten... and always loved.
Memphis is now playing with his big brother Zeussy, Tenchi, Ellie, Maverick and all of our other loved ones who are at the bridge...

Sleep well Memphis, we will never forget you.

Jody,

I'm so sorry that your oh so handsome boy Memphis had to make that journey.  He really was so dignified looking.  I didn't want to read this thread because I knew someone had to make an agonizing decision.  I'm so sorry.

Everyone, especially Memphis knows how special your pups are to you. 

I hope your are romping without pain and your playing with your BPO buds.

I'm so sorry Jo.  Memp was one of the most regal looking goofballs around.  I'm sure that they will all keep each other company until we see them again.  *Hugs*

Sleep sweet Memphie boy.

thank you all for all the love. Memphis was a great boy, he brought alot of happiness and alot of craziness. he was a beautiful boy and it is very hard to walk by his bed and him not be there...
all your words have meant alot to me, and i thank you all. it has brought many tears to my eyes knowing that you all care so much about a boy you have never met...
thank you again.

Oh, Jo! I will truly miss all the pictures of Memphis and his antics with the bullies.  Cry

Run free, far and fast now, Memphis.

So sorry about your dog...I know how hard it is to let a dog that you love with all your heart go....but know that he is happy running around with no pain, just like a pup again! Letting a dog go is one of the most selfless things you could ever do for him. He was a good dog to you, and you re-paid him by letting him go when it was his time. Be brave and strong...((hugs))

When the last fish has been caught and the last tree has been cut down...Only then will man realize that he cannot eat money.
