SO sorry for your impending loss.This will be a bittersweet post. My dog Ellie who is 13 years 9 months is suffering from Congestive Heart Failure. The last month has been a pretty rapid decline and the medication isn't working and she's starting to struggle. She's losing control of her bodily functions. I thought she was going to pass last night with how hard she was struggling. I decided I'm going to have to call the vet tomorrow. It's hard watching a dog who used to be so tough and determined lose her strength.
She's my first dog and we've spent lots of time in the field together. We've hunted in 8 states together and had lots of great times. My only wish is that I would've hunted more with her the last 5 years. Here's a few of my favorite pics.

Lots of tears being shed today for the old girl.
None of us get out of here alive but it sure sucks a$$ when you have to "Play God" and send a dear, loved friend and partner to her great reward..
I wish you and your family Peace in this very hard part of life.
