Well...it's been a difficult night here. Our sweet 11 year old black lab Piper passed away this am at 1. She has been failing since the summer. She was a typical sweet and energetic lab who loved her family. I would say she was mostly my dog and I always said "she would follow me to the end of the earth". Well...we thought we would have to put her down in October but with medication she was "ok" until the last couple of weeks with decreased appetite etc. But yesterday am she seemed pretty good...begging for her share of the veggies when I was feeding the fids. She took a turn last night....my husband, son and I kept vigil..(my daughter couldn't...too hard for her)... Right till the end. Poor Piper...the last hour she was drooling, laboured breathing but she would put her snout to my mouth as if she was kissing me like she used to:(. God willing we will bury her on our property this am.

Words cant even express how heart broken I am for you and your family right now.

I have a 7 yr old lab, I just cant picture life without her.

My thoughts will be with you guuys today :hug8:

I know you're only in NS but you must not have the same weather as us? We have over 3 feet of snow still.

Loosing a beloved dog is like loosing a family member. You have my deepest sympathies.

RIP Piper.

So sorry for your sad loss.:hug8:That is about to happen to us with our labrador cross. She has been poorly and now rallying again, but not sure for how long. I really feel for you all.
