She just climbed Mt. Washington with her owner, and it is amazing the resiliency of dogs. I wonder if a comtraption like hers would work for Lagniappe?<br /><br />http://www.foxnews.com/slideshow/scitech/2010/08/20/paralyzed-dog-lucy-scales-mt-washington/?test=faces#slide=1The DOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00653755693838609653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-37671074867220623102010-08-31T20:57:46.069-05:002010-08-31T20:57:46.069-05:00You can use a towel under his hindquarters to help...You can use a towel under his hindquarters to help him walk to the bathroom.

I have no idea how you are managing.<br /><br />I assume Lagniappe would not benefit from one of those rear end carts? I do not believe in prolonging pain but if mobility can be had with moderate discomfort? Och, well - I am sure you've already considered it.<br /><br />I am simply terrible sorry for you both and hope these sunset days are good.LauraBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07597941562529910169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-7324144177234685962010-08-30T19:21:48.779-05:002010-08-30T19:21:48.779-05:00I am sorry my friend.

I'll remember Trooper as the dog he was before he started to fade. I will treasure the gifts he gave me and try hard to live up to his example. I know that Lagniappe loves you and trusts you and you have been worthy of that love and trust. His life could have been so different if not for you and Lagniappe knows it. <br />When the time comes it will be a mercy and the last gift you can give him. I take solace in that. Our tears are only a measure of our ability to love.<br />Trooper will show Lagniappe where all the best swimming holes are while they wait for you and I. <br />Lu and I send you and Lagniappe our thoughts, our prayers and our love.Sixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05572583408046642437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-23659947524568584862010-08-29T22:26:25.183-05:002010-08-29T22:26:25.183-05:00I lost my dog a year ago and I still cry when I th...I lost my dog a year ago and I still cry when I think about her. She was rescued by some firemen almost an hour away. Through a friend, we got word of her. Our doberman had just passed and we weren't looking for another dog yet, but we've always loved dobie's, and we brought her home christmas morning.<br /><br />That dog was my buddy. We'd play tag around the coffee table, she'd talk to us (popping her jaws silently), etc. I had to nurse her back to health when a pitbull came into my yard and attacked her. 3 months after the attack, she bloated up and died 2 days later as the vet was hooking up the EKG.<br /><br />Enjoy every moment you get with Lagniappe. I know you don't want to see him struggle, but enjoy every single thing you can possibly do with him for as much time as you can. He seems to be a pretty bright boy. You'll know when it's time to say goodbye.Fireladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829612138471392986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-17405978103341136222010-08-29T16:04:46.857-05:002010-08-29T16:04:46.857-05:00Our dog Teddy, a sort of mixed Manchester Terrier,...Our dog Teddy, a sort of mixed Manchester Terrier, who was so gung ho to get in the car and loved to bark at cows, died of liver cancer.<br /> <br />It was tough when I had to go to the vet to put him down as he was so sick, day in and day out. And yes I buried him myself.<br /> <br />But you know, I could not let him keep suffering just so I could see him.<br /> <br />Take Lagniappe with you where you go as much as you can, but when the time comes the time comes. Don't drag it out for your benefit, do what is right for him.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11635784352780834494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20147126.post-41220627048457653132010-08-28T12:05:12.209-05:002010-08-28T12:05:12.209-05:00I'm so sorry.
