We got our first Newfoundland 18 years ago, Windy.... Our last Newfoundland has been with us for 13 of those 18 years, Amanda died today the month of her birthday 13 years ago....
She couldn't walk and was starting to have breathing problems.... I called the Vet Monday and we agreed on Today (Wednesday), Susan and I spent all day with her...
About 2PM the vet called and said she was on her way.... We went in to say our final good-byes and Amanda was all happy, glad to be pet and fed carrots and liver snacks (she quit eating her regular chow)...
About 15 minutes before the vet came she laid down with me, went to sleep... The vet came, gave her some 'ace' (tranquilizer), got everything ready and administered the injection, Amanda NEVER woke up. I guess she too had decided it was time.....
We are both VERY sad, but also very relieved as she wasn't in very good shape and going fast.....

Tears are on the keyboard. May she know we all loved her and will miss her dearly. I am sorry for your loss!
ReplyDeleteI don't know how to break the news to Cordelia. As gently as possible...
Hugs to you and Susan.
So sorry to hear that Amanda is gone. Glad she drifted off to sleep with you by her side. What a ripe old age she managed! Please accept big hugs from another Newfie owner on the loss of your beloved girl.
