Aurora passed away today...

Glad to hear she is doing better
My neighbor and good friend has a german shepard who had a brain tumor and has been having terrible strokes. He had a really bad one this weekend and took him to the Vet to put him down. He was just too miserable to live. I helped her bury him next the wood pile where he terrorized chipmunks. Very hard to do but best for him. He had a good life

Hope your dog continues her progress. Do not want to depress you but enjoy your time with your dog. Dogs' lives are just too damn short

Well, today was a sad day in our house. Aurora finally reached the end of her road as the paralysis started coming back again in her rear quarters. We went to our old vet in Spokane now by the Y as that is where she is familiar with and did the procedure. I was present the entire time. Let me tell ya, this vet shop is 100% A-OK in my book. I had my Rott put down in Marysville and it was not pretty. Here they administered some sedatives to relax her and simulate resting or a light sleep, then they injected her with BIG one. I held her head and stroked her until she quit breathing. The Vet was there too and did like wise which surprised me but showed me this man cared about "us".
Thank you every one for all the encouragement with our ups and downs with our American Pit Bull Terrier. This breed is, in my opinion, the most loyal and dedicated breed known to man. But in saying that they are also the most needy dog  for human contact. Too bad SOBs get this breed and abuse them. If I every catch some SOB doing this to a APBT I'll be in trouble for my actions.

God Bless all of you people and Merry Christmas.

Sorry about the passing of your dog. My Pepper has been gone 2 years and I still miss her.I found a vet who came to the house to put her down, he followed the same procedure yours did,I layed on the floor with her while she went to sleep, he handled it in a most dignified and compassionate way and i'll be ever gratefull.
