Well some of you read on the rants and rave forum and the dog forum about my Onyx! She became partly paralized last March 06 after giving birth to a single pup! I had planned on getting her WHEELCHAIR( DOGGIE CART ) so she could get around better but within the last few weeks I had noticed a few more problems, She was completely unable to use her hind end at all, so I was using a towel to carry the back end so she could go outside, then she started to stop eating as much, loosing alot of weight and incontinece, then unable to go at all. I saw alittle blood in her rectum. I laid with her for a long time talking about how much I loved her and how I didn't want her to suffer. She licked me. It was so hard to see her acting normal on the front and her mind but not the back end. Then I gave her A PIG EAR(which she loves) but she wasn't as excited so the next day 3-30 I took her into the vet to say goodbye and put her to sleep, I stayed with her kissing her and she was licking me until the end. She went peacefully! I just wish I didn't have to do this at all especially right before my birthday! My birthday was the next day 3-31 and I really hated the fact that I was depressed from putting her to sleep then but I couldn't wait another day for her sake. So Basically all I did was sleep most of the day. because I just didn't want to face the world at that time. My hubby says hes getting me a new aquarium for my growing Oscars, Peacock eel, a Clown Knife and Blood Parrot fish. watching my fish always makes me feel better. ONYX was my best friend, My baby, My Search and Rescue dog until 9-11-01 After that she became a therapy dog visiting Hosptial Patients and the nursing homes and then in March when her pup was born it all ended. This dog had been through everything, exploritory surgery, immune system problem, she had been shot twice(which might be what caused her pinced nerves ect because it could of migrated) May she rest in Peace now and I had her cremated so she will always be with me along with her pup "Sakotah"who is alive and well and his father Danzig(who is very sad shes gone) so at least I have a part of her through their pup Sakotah. I have this wonderful picture of her but unable to get it online as soon as possible I would like to do something for her. Soon I will do a little something for my girl. She was wonderful. Thanks for listening Hugs to all!!!!

She sounds like such an amazing dog and I'm sorry you had to make such a hard decision. I'm sure your decision was made with her best interest in mind.

Deborah, I'm so sorry about Onyx. I know how hard it it when we struggle with the decision to end their suffering... but it is the most loving thing you could have done.

There's nothing harder than having to make that decision. I'm sorry you had to & sorry that she won't be around anymore. But if she's anything like our Boo-bear then she's never going to be out of your memories or heart & the smiles will keep on coming.
