After I wrote the post, I thought his time had come. I spent the night on the floor sleeping with him because he was having trouble breathing. He made it through the night, and was a bit slow this morning. It may be time for another steroid shot to get him through some of his joint pain. He definitely is not through with life, yet.Steve Cottonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00468378507171761868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-39970964586425241642008-07-08T09:19:00.000-05:002008-07-08T09:19:00.000-05:00Our previous dog was a wonderful creature (as is T...Our previous dog was a wonderful creature (as is Taylor) but he had survived 2 years with cancer. He became so weak he couldn't stand. It was heartbreaking. I told Ned that when I came home from work that afternoon we were going to take him to the vet to be put to sleep. He had been beside Ned's feet that afternoon but he managed to get up and wobble to his bed about 15 minutes before I came home. A few minutes later Ned went to check on him and he was dead. Both you and Jiggs will know when it is time.Billie Mercerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17826454938577230499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2289482511228853984.post-6091339432712977432008-07-08T08:03:00.000-05:002008-07-08T08:03:00.000-05:00I don't think a dog has ever been born that did no...I don't think a dog has ever been born that did not like its' master.

The reason I finally got my first tattoo!!<BR/>Jiggs is a beatiful dog. We had to put our oldest German Shephard down a few years ago because her hips finally gave out. Jiggs will let you know when it is time...for now he will walk the bridge with no hands.Islaholic Trixiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233743042603387725noreply@blogger.com
