Had to say goodbye to our dog Zhora Login/Join 
Member
posted
I barely kept it together at the vet's today. Lost Zhora, our Canaan Dog family member for over 13 years. She had bad arthritis and our house is NOT well suited for that (stairs all over), but yesterday she came down with acute "old dog vestibular syndrome," and her balance and limited movement dropped sharply. Bad arthritis, incontinence, no appetite, worst of all--she seemed confused, scared, and in pain...I made the call. Damn blurry screen.

She was such a sweet girl.

I'm truly sorry for your loss, my friend. I've got a lot of friends on the other side to greet her. I'm praying for your peace & comfort.

Saddest thing ever. Thank you for your courage to do right by your best friend. You know when you know. Hate these days.

I'm sorry, it's so sad to loose our animal friends. Zhora sure was a good looking dog and I'm sure great companion, and I bet she enjoyed a wonderful life with you.

Said goodbye to my Scout 3 months ago, so I know exactly how painful these moments are. You have my sincerely condolences for your loss. Without a doubt, Zhora was very loved.
