Thoughts & prayers for Taz
My friend adopted Taz from MAGSR 10 years ago. He is an extra large black boy. May have some dane in there. He is a gentle giant who helped to foster some GSD puppies for another rescue. Taz is now 12. His health is declining. Test results have been inconclusive, though liver cancer has been mentioned. Taz spent the night at the vet and is now at home. My friend is facing the difficult decision as to whether it is time to let Taz go.
Big hugs to all the senior dogs and the people who love them! We are all in the same boat. |

My thoughts are with your friend and Taz. What a sad decision to have to make.

This is always the hard times for us pet lovers....unfortunately all of us will be in the same situation at one time or another, but as long as we can rest in the facts that we made our friend's lives as good as possible, then we should feel at ease at the end knowing they lived great lives and we made the end as easy for them as we could.....Thoughts and condolences to your friend..

To paraphrase Charles Dickens, owning seniors is the best of times and the worst of times! Sadly it sounds like Taz and his family are faced with the worst of times. Sending them lots of warm thoughts and prayers for having to make such an agonizing decision which I'm sure will be in Taz's best interest.

i wish that having to make the decision to release our pet's spirit from their broken body was not part of pet stewardship.
 but we can take comfort in knowing, in most cases, it is the last act of kindness we can show to our faithful companions. no one wants to see them suffer. prayers for comfort and wisdom for Taz's family.

thoughts are with Taz and his family
I'm dreading old age in my lab who is already 8- they really are with us for too short a time.
