Oldster has reached end?

MO has stopped eating. She is growing another lump atop her head. The one has suddenly become golf ball size, and hard, not soft squishy. Now she's growing another right next to it, alarming growth in just a few days. Time to quit her silent suffering. Will call the vet tomorrow.

I am so sorry.
It hurts to have the Oldies.
I'm so sorry Mo has gone downhill so fast. You've had your share of heartaches lately.

Will be thinking of you as you help Mo to the Bridge.

It hurts when they go downhill fast. With Pooh Bear it was just a week and that was it. My heart goes out to you. :hearts:
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Oh Susan! I'm so sorry for Mo's decline. If only we could keep them young forever. I'll be thinking about you. Sending lots of hugs for all of you !!! :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

While it's somewhat reassuring to us to have such cues it's time...it's still incredibly painful :cry: :cry:

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: Susan and Mo :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Susan,
So sorry to hear of MO.
Love her all you can tonight.
So sad and sorry to read this Susan :ghug: I was just just talking about Mo with my husband this morning, about how Abby-like she sounded in your recent posts. Ill be hugging my old girl extra hard tonight and thinking of you guys.
I am so sorry.......hugs :ghug:
I'm so sorry, Susan. Mo has put up the good fight, and now she deserves to rest, as hard as it is for you. Hugs and thoughts as you help her cross.

I'm very sorry :( Will be thinking about you today and I'm sorry he has gone downhill so fast!

(((hugs)))
So sorry to hear of MO's decline. Give her extra big hugs today. All of our babies who have gone before are waiting over the bridge to welcome MO with love.

:ghug: :ghug:
:ghug:

:cry: thinking of you today :cry:
I am so sorry Susan. :( I know you have had so many dogs pass through your life over the years (I recall you mentioning 50 or 60), I can't imagine it gets any easier. Give Mo lots of love!
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Susan, I'm so sorry about MO. Even though you know it's the right thing to do, it isn't any easier. The oldsters are so special and their time with us is limited. I bid you peace as you help MO with her final journey.
Words will not ease your pain today but hopefully you can feel all of our support and hugs! :cry:

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
Our heart goes out to you. We know how incredibly painful this is.

Vance & Robin
She was doing well last week, still bouncing and marking her "hours": 1. her breakfast, 2. our breakfast, 3. our lunch, 4. her dinner, our 5. dinner and 6. before bed cheeseball. She went from food bowl to fork with lots of naps in between. Woe if we didn't get her dinner out on time! Lately she had wrapped DH around her paw, making him serve her breakfast in her bed. When we arrived home we were greeted with the bounces and race to the garage up until Friday when all stopped.

This a.m. I tried to open the left eye, the tumor had it shut down completely. She never uttered a moan or complaint. Last night she was doing more than usual panting, a sign of pain. It was time. She's at the vet's now.

Last fall I asked DH to dig to graves, one for MO and one for Harry as I wasn't sure either would make it to Christmas. So we are prepared there. Harry was restless last night. I don't know if he sensed MO discomfort or he too is begining to have trouble.

DH looked crestfallen as he drove out this a.m. for the vet's. MO was his dog from the very beginning. She was to be a rescue and move on to a new home, but the first time she saw Paul and put on that sassy dance for him she was a "keeper." She was his gardening buddie.

I've written before about him digging a one on one side of a bush for a new rose and MO on the other side of the bush digging another hole. Or whenever he burned slash how she'd chase the smoke shadows. Indeed she was a true shadow chaser, not chasing the big ravens, but rather their shadows on the ground. But mostly she was "sprinkler dog" or "water dog"...loved to splash in water


:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
sometimes words are not enough, but you are in my thoughts......xxx
I'm so sorry, Susan.

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

Kristine
I'm crying for you...it hurts like hell :ghug:
Hugs to you both today...it's tough :cry:

:ghug: :ghug:
susan,

all of my love, thoughts and prayers are with you and paul...

xo,

Hugs to you both today
Thank you all, but don't forget Harry. He is bewildered, he's attended way too many doggie burials here, he sat beside the hole today and watched DH bury MO. He's not very chipper right now.
Hugs to you both plus give Harry a cuddle from me and my two .

:ghug: :ghug:
Thinking of you. This is never easy...
Poor Harry :( Does this make him an "only" now?
I am so sorry. I loved hearing the stories of Mo over the years. Love the pics you posted, she sure did love her sprinkler, so much joy in that shot. Hugs to you, hubby and Harry :ghug: :ghug: :ghug: run freely sweet Mo through every spinkler you find and dig those holes with your buddies...you will be missed sweet sheepie girl.

Strength to you during this difficult time.
:cry: trying to type through the tears i so get it ..so very sorry :ghug: :ghug:
Big hug to Harry......trying hard not to cry..........
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
So sorry :(
Sending you hugs from across the pond xxx
So sorry, run free sweet MO. Hugs for all of you and an extra hug for Harry.

Yes, Harry, the other dog in the avatar is now the only. I have no idea how many dogs he's lived with here......a dozen or more. Now he's the only. The tumor in his throat grows so it is a short rope for him.

I have no clue if we'll get another dog. I can't imagine living without one, or two or ?? DH is 77, while I'm younger, in many ways not as spry as he. Rescue for sure. No pups, that would be too long.
:cry: Shedding a tear for Mo, thinking of you and your husband. Keeping Harry in my thoughts also. Such heavy feelings of sadness at this time, keep Mo in your heart and in your memories forever. :ghug:
So sorry for the lost of Mo :cry: :cry: :cry:
:ghug: I am so sorry Susan. Hugs to all of you... and a special belly rub for Harry. :(
I am so sorry to hear of Mo crossing the bridge. Give an extra hug to Harry. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:

Carley's Mom
Please give Harry extra hugs from me. Thinking of you all today. :ghug:
:ghug: :ghug: :ghug:
I am so sorry Susan. You have had more than your share of Rainbow Bridge travelers over the past months.
I'm so sorry Susan, to you, your family and to Harry. It's so painful to lose a beloved friend and my heart hurts for you all.
Hugs from me.
Marianne
Susan--I have been a little behind with the forum and just now saw this post.

I am so very very sorry for your loss of MO. Special thoughts for you-Paul and Harry. :ghug:
So sorry. I've only just seen this. Really sorry you have lost your lovely Mo. Thinking of you both and the lovely Harry as well.

Love Debs, Geoff and Cloud
I'm so very sorry for you and Harry :cry: Hope he snuggles up to you. Thinking of you.

Hope he snuggles up to you.
Every night until he pushes me off the bed. Then in a.m. we hurry back to the big bed and he crawls in again for an hour snuggle before breakfast. He's depressed but coming out of it

Surprising was our electrician. Called late Friday he came to fix a problem and looked around, "Where's the sheepdog?" I forgot he had sheepdogs at one time as well.
oh my goodness... I wouldn't be able to get the words out to the electrician. :(

That's so sad to hear about your ol boy. Having someone who feels your pain and is going through the same has to be both sad and comforting. ((hugs))
:ghug: no words to say just :ghug: :hearts:
I'm so sad for you, your husband and Harry. It's
most difficult to loose one of these dear companions.
