My K9 Community Champion passed away

Hey everyone

my beautiful Chow Chow/German Shepard cross was euthanized at home here in VIC on June 9 with degeneration of the spinal cord...He couldnt walk anymore yet his heart and lungs were okay

He was a rescue dog that sat right beside me and helped me write over 11,000 posts of support on the forums

He was kind...and loved his stuffed toys

He was huge..57 kilograms with massive paws...The photo on my profile pic is only a year ago

I couldnt even get a VET on the phone or a home visit to discuss his health in the last few weeks of his life without being brushed off...He was panting and walking slowly inside the house for 18 hours before he laid down on his side.....Then he waited 9 hours for VET. This was horrible

Thankyou for letting me grieve (and modsupport for the care)

Paul

So very sorry Paul. I knew him also as"Big Woofah" as that is the name you lovingly called him sometimes on here.
