Rebecca, Irena Farm Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 We let Kris go very early this morning as he was having nonstop seizures. Thank you all for your support, kind words and thoughts, prayers, and the generosity you've shwn our family at this time. We do long term fostering and training, so though these aren't "our" dogs, even when they go to great placements they leave big holes here. There's a great big screaming hole today. My gosh, I just looked at the clock and it's taken me an hour to write these few little words. I'm kicking myself now that I don't have any pictures of Kris doing what he loved best, but I cobbled together something with the words of one of my favorite semi-secular songs and thought I'd share. Apologies to those on dialup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurae Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm so sorry Rebecca. You did all you could. He was lucky to have a family care about him enough to go to such great lengths to save him and then ultimately let him go when he was ready.

PSmitty Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Oh, this is heartbreaking. I'm so very sorry, Becca. I can't imagine how hard this must've been for you all. You did such a good thing for Kris, and I'm glad he knew you his last days. Run free, Kris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carson Crazies Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 Becca, I'm so sorry - I don't even have sufficient words. I'll be thinking of you, Patrick, and the kids today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK dog doc Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I'm so sorry to hear this. Even having done this from the "other" side (as a vet) I can only imagine how tough this has been for you and your family. FWIW, if the seizures were not controllable in an in-hospital setting, you had no chance of controlling them at home, so this was really your only option and it was clearly the right thing to do. It doesn't make it easy, but I hope that knowing you did right by Kris is of some comfort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
