It's a sad day here at the Ranch. In a few hours our dog Lucy will be euthanized. She's a large dachshund mix. Friday we came home from lunch to find her back legs paralyzed. She has had back problems in the past but nothing like this. She saw her Vet. today and was diagnosed with a calcified disk. She has no control of her bladder or bowel. She's not an old dog and has only been with us for about 5 years. My girls are not taking this well but understand what has to be done. Please keep our family and Lucy in your thoughts and prayers.

Yeah "Tony" has been busy and we can't seem to shake this "guido" character either.

I know how Lucy feels. I have the same problem in 4 places. much of the time I can't feel my left fingers and when it's at it's worst my left hand is useless. One of my dogs just went through something similar. But the paralysis is often temporary trauma to the nerve even though the disk disease remains. My little rufus jumped off the couch couldn't walk for a month but he's fine now. I almost gave up on him and him put down. So sorry about Lucy, Steve.

im so sorry about Lucy

Lucy is gone.
My daughter Molly(15) showed great strength of character in dealing with this situation. She was closest to Lucy and stayed with her friend to the end.

Let me be clear... it was the second sentence^^^ I "liked". Any dogs I've ever had to have put down, I took them in myself. As hard as it is to do that, I want my face to be the last familar one they see. The way I see it, it's the most unselfish thing to do. Putting them down out of love instead of keeping them around suffering because you can't stand to see them go. I think people that do that, keeping them around suffering, are selfish. Screw how you feel about losing them. They're suffering. If you truly love your dog, you will have them put down if the only life they have left will be lived suffering.
