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.

Smile? I have a couple of times today while talking with ABB and hanging around out side with Lex.
I just should have known and spent a few moments before they put him under for the xray. Once the xray was done, they said it would be hard on him to keep letting him come around and they should go ahead b4 he wakes up. I think I did know but they sedated him so fast I wasn't even at the head end. I was at the back holding his legs so he wouldn't fall off the table. I miss him so much it's almost unbearable. When I got him 10 years ago, my mom had just past on 9.9.01 about the time he was born and I got him 6 weeks after. I had to be strong at the funeral for siblings I was the oldest. I don't think I morned properly. Then Vinny showed up, and instead of morning I think I went into hyper love for the pup. It never wore off and now I think I'm morning for Vinny and parents that passed that I had to be strong for without morning for them.
Maturity sucks!! But I am gaining vast insight to the good side of mankind thanks to people like you and evryone here on FABO
God bless you.
Thank You so much for writing csx452.
