A Tough Day
Beginning last night my old mastiff Butch really began to have trouble breathing. It's been coming for a while. I called the vet out this morning and he said that apart from the shortness of breath there wasn't any pain or discomfort going on. He said that Butch was probably hanging on so hard because he didn't want to disappoint me. He left an antihistamine that would help him breathe well enough to go to sleep, and after about an hour of being asleep the mighty Butch breathed his last. It was quiet and peaceful.
He was a great dog. I will miss him.

Sorry for your loss. These things are not easy even if we do know that they are coming.
It was the way we pretty much all would wish to go, and there is at least that.

Condolences, minstrel boy.
I'm very sorry, MB. You gave each much love. That is all we can do.
So very sorry for your loss ...I've known Mastiff, my oldest daughter had two ..in a tiny quarters at Fort Campbell, KY ...and two kids and a large husband, the house was full of love. The dogs were passed to someone else when the family was posted to Germany....mastiff were considered too dangerous for the country and would have had to have been muzzeled for the time they were there...better they be adopted out....
My condolences on Butch's passing. Godspeed to you both.
Good 'ol Butch, I bet he had a great life. My condolences.
My condolences as well.
