My good buddy Ranger suffered a severe stroke sometime late Monday early Tuesday of this week. I've been working with the vet trying a few different meds to try and remediate the effects, but nothing has worked and there has been no improvement to his condition, and he's paralyzed on the right side from the neck down. He is comfortable and can drink his water when I hold his head up over the bowl.
We have an appointment for 8:30 in the morning, at which time we'll do what's necessary and Ranger will slip this mortal coil.
Please keep him and me in your prayers.
In my prayers. e lost our Angel last year. A family member is always hardest.
So sorry to hear. They become a large part of the family.
Probably the only members that give you unconditional love.
Sad.
Prayers
Thank you so much for sharing your buddy’s miracle life
Special stories like this always make me weepy
God bless
Prayers for you and yours, Joe.
Oh my gosh...blurry screen...so sorry, but what a wonderful gift of life you gave him.
I am sorry for your loss. It hurts like hell losing a pet. May you sorrow be short. Prayers.
Bless you and Ranger.
Godspeed Ranger.
A life very well lived.
Thank you for sharing Ranger's story. One lucky dog to have been rescued and loved by you.
God Bless both of you.
He is a beautiful animal. My heart goes out to you because it is so painful to have to let your friend go.
Bless you and Ranger.
What a beautiful post.
J6P,
The Lord Bless You and be with you FRiend!
God loves animals and He loves you my FRiend.
This isn’t the end for & Ranger.
I commend what you have done with your time and the love you invest in animals.
I’m a fellow animal lover myself.
God Bless You!
If you haven’t seen it yet go see the movie A Dogs Purpose. Might still be in the theaters.
God Bless You for that, Joe.
So sorry to hear this Joe, you’re all in my prayers.
God Bless.

Ranger achieved a bit of online notoriety on the 10th anniversary of 9/11 when I stuffed a koran with bacon and let him eat it. I posted a thread here, but photobucket deemed too many of the pics offensive. Barenakedislam picked it up and the photos are still there

Someday, when I see God, I want to thank Him for making dogs.
May He strengthen you for tomorrow’s task, Joe.
It is the right thing to do.
LOL!
Thanks for sharing!
