RIP Simon

With a heavy heart I have to say Simon , my lab
Passed to the happy hunting ground today

I knew it was a matter of days
But it still wrips my guts

He had been acting out of sorts just before opening day of duck season
But I though he was pouting for nor being taken to the marsh

The monday after the opener he was having trouble catching his breath after a short walk
So I took him to the vet the next day

His lungs were full of fluid and there was a mass on the X Ray

I was given choices and they were all bad
So they gave him a shot and gave me pills to help with the fluid in his lungs

I was able to take him to the marsh 1 last time to sit on the dike and watch the swans swim
But he seemed to know it was his last trip

Up to Sat AM he had been OK , but Sat AM he had a bad morning
And again this AM , but seemed to be better after a hour or so

But I knew it was the end
I was planning on taking him to the Vet in the AM

I saw he was sleeping
So I took a walk just before lunch and when I came in
He had passed

My sincere condolances, John. Sounds like you did him well in his last days.

Seconded, RIP Simon.

Sorry for your loss ! It is always tough to have a good friend pass on !
I have lost two this year myself. They were my very best companions !

Fair Skies Simon. He's got the best spot in the blind. ;-)

Sorry to hear of your loss John. Wishing endless flocks for Simon in God's blind.

Sorry for your loss. Losing an old friend is always difficult.

Sorry for your loss, we lost one of our Doxies 10/5 she was a good friend also, funny how attached we get to these dogs, cats etc.

I feel your pain John. We lost our little Yorkie last nite. I know how tough it is.
