Cody, my best bud for 13 years crossed the rainbow bridge today. He was diagnosed with Cushings disease about 6 months ago, other than some weight loss he was doing good on the meds. He quit eating and started having episodes of vomiting a few days ago. Long story short he was in advanced liver failure and we dont know why. I chose to bring him home and enjoy a few days in his mostly healthy state, rather than subject him to test and surgeries for something that would likely kill im anyway. I was blessed that he has been his normal grumpy old man self, but well enough to walk and play these last couple days. Though I couldnt properly spoil him with bacon and steak, as he threw it up anyway, for some reason he managed to hold down chicken and eggs this morning. Then we went on one last walk together before our final trip to the vet. RIP Cody, I hope I gave you a good life, thanks for being my Best Friend.

That’s a heart tugger for sure, my sympathies to ya. He looked like a fine dog. Mine will be 15 this year and still acts like a pup, just not for as long as he used to. We didn’t always get along but we always were pals before the day was done, that’s the great thing about dogs, they’re always glad to see ya, no matter what. Owning a dog is a double edged sword, they are great to have but hard to lose.

Some don`t get how much a pet becomes family and how much it hurts when they go. God bless you buddy.

Medic I feel for you. I've outlived 5 field dogs and two comfort dogs and the last was just as tough as the first. cried over every one of them.

So sorry - there is not much worse than losing a 4-legged best friend. My wife says when you get to heaven, you get them all back - at once.
Won't that be a party!
