Guess I need to talk about this... meningioma (brain tumor) in my Border Collie

So sorry, spookhorse. You did the absolute right thing at the right time. Hugs to you.

When my beloved Himalayan cat had kidney failure years ago, I believe I waited too long to let him go. I had been sleeping in my clothing because I knew the end was near. On his last night he woke me up having horrible seizures. I will never get that memory out of my mind. Raced to the hospital with him to put him down. I wish I had done it earlier.

Thank you Oliver and I’m sorry for your loss

We didn’t want it to end that way for him and I had the COTH mantra in my head: “Better one day too soon, than one day too late!”

I’m so very sorry. My sister lost her border collie to Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, which is a neurological genetic disease seen in border collies. There is a DNA test for it now.

Godspeed Fred.

I am so sorry. I can’t say much. Sometimes I feel there are permanent gullies through my cheeks from the tears.

Spookhorse, so sorry for your losses. It’s so hard to watch them go downhill. Good on you for making the (hard) right decision.

So sorry Spookhorse. I lost two of my heart dogs last year just 10 days apart. One was 14, the other just 11. We both got cheated. You did the right thing and Fred thanks you. Hugs.
