My heart goes out to you.Our 14year old black lab, Molly went home yesterday after suffering a broken hip last Wednesday. Her injuries where just too great for her aging body to overcome and we just didn't want her to live like that, wanted her to die with dignity.
Got her home on Saturday from the vet with hope we could get her back to walking, but the prognosis was not good. Wife and I had hope but it was clear Sunday that she had lost all feeling and use of her back legs. Called the vet Monday morning said she would come out and put her down on her way home.
Was my wife's day off and I decided to do the same and we spent a very special day with Molly. She got all her favorite treats and her favorite lunch, part of my ham sandwich. Molly was a farm dog and loved to be outside, especially on the 4 wheeler riding fence and tending to cattle. I rigged the 4wheeler up and mommy and daddy took her for one last ride, we saw all her favorite cows and swimming holes. About 5:15 the vet stopped and Molly went home very peaceful. It was a beautiful October day, we buried her down by the creek under 2-40' cotton woods, biggest tombstones in the county.

Mrs and I are so sad at this family loss.
She was exceptional as is all the dogs we have had.
Be assured that she is in a better place.
Molly was a good dog.
Be at peace.
