Have a good one Snowflake!
Love that picture. I could see myself sitting there drinking Wassail. Cozy.

They actually brought him back with CPR but he's unconscious and they said the chances he'd even recover from everything now on the machine in the city (even to make it down there on top of that) is so small they suggested not to let him suffer. Hardest decision to make...he's on the tube but like a vegetable. It's not fair to Nitro. We had to make the hard decision...but the right one for him.

I'm so sorry Edge. So very sorry. Praying for you and your family buddy.
I salute Nitro and the love he brought your family. I know you will miss him dearly. God bless you my friend.

Appreciate the prayers guys. The Dr. called earlier this afternoon and told my brother he doesn't know if Nitro will make it to tomorrow if he's not put on the breathing machine in the city. He's still breathing on his own but he says he believes he's going to get tired and stop breathing eventually. He said our only real option is to move him to the city and put him on the breathing machine. That will cost 10-15K. My brother who's like the "head brother" of Nitro texted my other couple of brothers. The one I even expected to say forget it said just try I and we'll figure out the money later. My brother at the hospital said he had to decide now and said if we don't try it we will always regret not giving him a chance. He's 11. He's not young but he's not 15-16. He wanted to at least give him a chance. It's not a great chance. The Dr. says 20-30% chance he could come off the breathing machine slowly and recover. Of course I'd feel better if it was more like 70-80% but it is what it is. My brother was right. If we didn't at least try it then we'd regret it. He said you can always make more money. And although the odds aren't good at 20-30%...it's not like the Dr. is saying there's only a less than 1% chance or even 10%. So that's the decision...and I am prepared for the worst to happen but of course a small part of me hopes for a minor miracle. If not...I will be able to feel good that I did everything I could to help Nitro and will always thank him for everything he's done for me. Always being there when I came home from a bad day at work. Always being there to say Hi to (even when he was moody wanting to go to sleep and be left alone lol)...and above all for the last 10 years turning me into a big time dog person. I thank him for all of that. I'm sorry to ramble but you guys have helped me through a difficult thing here...and I thank you all for that.

As soon as I typed that my brother text that they were doing CPR...don't think he made it. Thanks again for all the support guys. I appreciate it in advance. You guys are the best.

oh God Edge! There is so much I want to say but none of it seems enough. I am devastated for you buddy. My husband just had to ask me why I was crying. I am so sorry. Please know that I am praying for you and sending you courage and support. I have lost a few dear pets in the past so I understand how you feel. If you ever need a listening ear, I 'm always around. You made a brave decision and did everything you could for Nitro and trust me when I say Nitro knows how much he was loved by you and your family. He is in a better place now and not suffering. (((((Hugs))) Again I am so sorry for your loss my friend.

Thanks Festive. I rarely ever cry over anything (just not the crying type) but I cried on my drive home because of Nitro. My brother was very upset too but he says how much Nitro made him realize how much we love dogs and how we want to get another one some day when we're ready. But Nitro is awesome and will always be awesome. The amount of pain he gave me today is not even .00001% of the amount of joy he gave me over the last 11 years.

You all were truly blessed to have been part of each others lives. I am pretty sure you brought immense joy to Nitro too. :)

Good evening all my Christmas loving friends.
It has been a long and busy day at work, so glad to be home and sitting down again.
The weather is finally warming here and is supposed to be a nice long weekend. Going to have a big family BBQ Sunday afternoon out at camp David. Always great to kick off our summer this way.
I have a few things to get done before bed so best get at it .
Will try to pop in again before I actually turn in for the night, enjoy your evening al.

Isn't he adorable?? He is a wheaten mix & she thinks once he gets cut he will be all white, like Gracie. They think he is 12 weeks old. I better not go see him... :D
Just look at that face...
