Hi, Rick, I am so sorry about Erin. I hope she doesn't suffer too much. My best to you. Donna

Thanks, Donna. Right now, she seems to be okay, went for a ride, isn't eating and her back legs give way, but her eyes and alertness could fool you into thinking all is just normal. I pray she just goes quietly at home. I held our wonderful golden retriever that we had for 14 years when we had to put him down, and it was one of the hardest things I've even had to do. It would be ten times harder with Erin. God, spare me that. (And pardon me for being a drama queen about this.)

I understand completely. Even though I am not a "pet" person per se, we had dogs when we were growing up. I remember I went away to an aunts one summer, and when I came home they'd had to put our dog down because she was dying of old age and was just miserable. It was very upsetting. I couldn't believe they had done it without even letting me know and I came home and she was just 'gone'. I thought that was wrong.
