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.
Very sad, there comes a time when we must let our Pets go.
God bless Ranger, You and your Family.
Sorry Joe, what a beautiful dog! You have time to say goodbye too and you know he feels your love.
I am sorry that it has come to this with your buddy. Prayers for you and your family, and wishing Ranger a smooth trip to the Bridge.
We all cried like a babies when we had to send Jasper over the Rainbow Bridge. Our pets become part of the family and we miss them terribly after they are gone.
My boss had to send his cat of many years over the bridge yesterday and everyone is saddened for the loss. I just told him that, all creation gives Him praise, I don’t know how it works exactly but I believe our pets play a part in the heavenly chorus.

Done.
Magnificent animal.
Our last German Shepherd was a long-haired one. She died of lymphoma in 2009. So I know what you’re going through.
I believe Ranger will be there waiting for you when you go to your reward, because there is no end to God’s grace and His desire to please his children.
Prayers.
Prayers for you and your buddy. Heart felt sorrow.
Dogs are such a blessing from God.
Oh dear, sad news. I am so sorry.
This is why I cant bring myself to get another pet, dog or cat. You end up loving them so much and then one you have make this terrible decison.
The pain is just too bad.
RIP Ranger. Prayers for you Joe
Ranger is waiting in Heaven for whwn you join him, until then he’s playing with my pal Zeus.
Prayers to you and for Ranger, Joe. Losing a loving pet is heart-wrenching.
That’s hard.
Ranger is a beauty.
My 13YO Malinois is having seizures once a week, but he has bounced right back.
Prayers offered for both you and your friend.
I am so very sorry to hear this news. Prayers for you all. Sad day.
Prayers up for your pal Ranger, and my best friend Sadie who we lost 8 years ago.
I am so sorry God bless you and God bless Ranger :(
I’m sorry...we lost our beautiful, beloved Maltese Maggie to kidney disease last October and my heart still aches...
she was the perfect dog in every way...
I don’t envy you tonight...i had to take her to the vet early in the morning and was up the night before and went out for long walks three times; 11PM, 3AM and 5:30AM, i was so upset..
I am really, really sorry. Gd bless. We were there last July and it is still almost too painful.
