He`s been a good dog, Little John ,he was 14 yrs old +, an American Cocker, but he had all the typical Cocker problems... bad eyesight, going blind,skin problems his whole life...neck (disc) problem that we took care of for 2.5 yrs with Alfalfa pills (antiinflammatory, for you who may have inflammation problem in dogs! works great), had cancerous growths , some removed , some kept coming...he was getting really "old", walked with hard breathing ,got tired easily , just old age...last night while out "doing his things" he jumped over some Liriope grass ,fractured his front leg...took him to two vets this am.....final result ,decision to "let him go".... wife cried horribly....and we havent told the kids yet (22,25) son is at Tulane Univ. in School, he has a wedding to attend tomorrow, my daughter in LA has an audition for a play today...we cant tell them until monday probably.....it will break their hearts...
he`ll be cremated, ashes come home next week.....not sure what we`ll do with them...
its hard , as always to loose a pet.....this is my 7th dog....to loose...doubt we`ll get any moore...I just will have to "love" others dogs!
