Had to put her down...R.I.P. Marina

[Havasu1986]

Came home today to find my 12 year old Autralian Shepherd named Marina could not stand up. We took her to emergency to find out she had a tumor in her spleen. Odds were against her for surgery. Marina loved to ride on the boat with her sister Xena and play with kids at Park Moabi. Most people would remembers Marinas name on the beach more then ours. I am already missing you. I love you Marina.
Your Dad... Bobby

Man sorry to hear that. I had to put my 13 year old aussi down last novewmber and life hasnt been the same. I can honestly say that I know of a few people that I would rather have seen them go insted of my dog. aussis are great dogs. He was my buddie and he died in my arms. some day I will get another but i think i will wait until im older so that maybe I will go before he does. Marina say hello to Buck for me and tell him I miss him.

Bobby sorry to hear about your dog. I had to do the same thing a few years ago to a dog I had for 16 years it is not easy and I feel your pain.

[CBadDad]

So sorry to hear.
She's in a better place now.
:( The Last Battle
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done,
For this -- the last battle -- can't be won.
You will be sad I understand,
But don't let grief then stay your hand,
For on this day, more than the rest,
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where to my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must be you
Who has to decide this thing to do;
We've been so close -- we two -- these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.
