Saying Goodbye....

My good buddy Ranger suffered a severe stroke sometime late Monday early Tuesday of this week. I've been working with the vet trying a few different meds to try and remediate the effects, but nothing has worked and there has been no improvement to his condition, and he's paralyzed on the right side from the neck down. He is comfortable and can drink his water when I hold his head up over the bowl.

We have an appointment for 8:30 in the morning, at which time we'll do what's necessary and Ranger will slip this mortal coil.

Please keep him and me in your prayers.

Prayers requested from the doggie ping list...

[Perseverando]

Sorry to hear. Dogs are the best!

[Bishop_Malachi]

My wife and I have dear pets that we’ll have to say “goodbye” to in the not-to-distant future. I empathize with you completely.

[HarleyLady27]

Oh how sad...prayers up for Ranger and for you...

[GRRRRR]

Big hugs for you man, this is what we must do for our buddy.

They always let me know, somehow, that they are ready.

I know what you’re going through. I had to put my buddy Fat Mike down a few months ago. I still miss that guy. Granted, he was a moronic thug, but he was my moronic thug.

Prayers up for you and Ranger. Pets give unconditional love. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Always so hard.
My thoughts are with you both.
He looks like a great friend and companion.

All of your thoughts and sentiments are dearly appreciated. Thank you.

One of the hardest days we will ever have is when we have to say a final goodbye.
I am sorry for your pain and hope in time you will be able to remember all the good days you shared.

Prayers up.

Awe, Joe. So sorry. What a mighty dog, your Ranger. I will pray for you both and I petition Saint Francis, the patron saint of animals, to be on the look out for Ranger, who will arrive strong, restored to perfection.
Love, Rita.

[Faith65]

So very sorry!
Dogs are the best and truly a blessing to us. Prayers up for you, Ranger and the rest of your family.

Oh nice doggie...

[Psalm 73]

I'm sorry I missed this earlier.
If you were able, I hope you stayed in the room with him - it's hard, but my friendly face was the last thing they saw as they slipped away - I owed them that much.
I am so sorry for the loss of your friend.

[Joe 6-pack]

Thanks to all of you for your wishes and prayers. FR is truly a community of great and understanding folks.

[SkyDancer]

My prayers with you. I had the heartbreaking duty to put my girl border collie down and the very last act she did was to give my hand a lick before the sedative took effect then the last needle. I never ever want to have to go through that again. Yours is a beautiful looking dog.

[whinecountry]

So sorry, Joe. Prayers for you and your buddy.

Joe, I am so sorry that you have to do this. My shepherd, Jonah, will be 10 years old this month and I shudder when I think of life without him. They give such unconditional love. Prayers for you.
