Hes 11, was attacked last year by another dog out on a walk, and injured his spine / hind leg and he has being gradually deteriorating since.

The last few weeks hes being really struggling to get up and falling over when he tries to go round corners. Hes in no pain, just really confused about his back end not working. I know its time, but I just don't want it to be.

The DSs have stuffed him full of treats and headed off to school sobbing their hearts out. I am in tears, and poor Sam is looking at me like I am insane! Keeps headbutting me as if to say be less ridiculous.

Im not even sure what the point of this post is or the gratuitous name change to be honest.

Photos just because I can.

Thanks everyone for the messages. They've made me well up again, but in a good way.

He'll be glad of the company at the bridge. He loves making new friends, especially if they like sticks - he loves sticks although as he got bigger so have the branches sticks he brought home. Grin

Going though some old photos, and hes the first ever photo we took of him, looking totally bemused at coming to live with some crazies in the forest! Sorry for the poor quality, ive had to take a photo of a photo!

Oh OP, I'm so sorry.

I came on here to look for support as my own beautiful GSD is suffering with degenerative myelopathy and I know what is ahead of us.

To read your story broke my heart. You totally did the right thing, and I totally agree with you 'better too early than too late' because you released him while he was still happy.

He was beautiful. I'm so sorry Flowers
