Scooter had DM and was diagnosed in November. He showed symptoms early on and progressed fast. He had lost the use of his left rear leg a couple weeks ago and on Saturday he couldn't get up. We got up to feed and he was in his kennel shaking and wouldn't (or couldn't) get up. He showed no interest in eating not even a treat that he loved. We knew it was time. He was scared and he gave us that look like "help me" and we answered him and he no longer is suffering dragging his leg and as of Sat both legs. He didn't deserve that and I couldn't watch him like that. We will miss him terribly and I want him back in his early years again, but that doesn't happen. He was such a good boy! RIP Scooter May 13, 2000---March 21, 2009

I am so sorry.
Not fair to any dog to get these nasty diseases. My heart goes out to you

So sorry to read of your loss. Glad that you were strong and could "help him" when he told you it was time. We always think of our boys "waiting at the bridge" all running and playing as they could in their youth. Your Scooter is probably having fun chasing them around right now. Our first boy Max was dianosed with DM when he was 9 and it progressed fast also where within 5 months he could no longer walk and we had to say goodbye. My heart goes out to you.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts. I really appreciate it and I am feeling a wee bit better today thank goodness. I know we did the right thing and that helps me cope. We miss him terribly and there is an empty space here now that Scooter used to fill.
