Vinny passed away this morning.

So sorry for your loss. Losing a pet is like losing a family member. It's never easy. Don't be so hard on yourself for trying to help him. You had no way of knowing what was going to happen. Vinny would never lay any blame on you. That's just the way dogs are. All they want is to show you love. Vinny is waggin his tail right now trying to make you smile. Do that for him. That's all he wants right now.
