Moxley
Took Moxley to a vet this afternoon and put him to rest. Adopted him many years ago and he's been faithfully by my side through good times and bad. Held him until the very last moment, the least I could do was be by his side in his time of need.
Posting in Central for those who knew him.
If it should be that I grow frail and weak
And pain does keep me from my sleep,
Then will you do what must be done
For this - the last battle - can't be won.
You will be sad I understand
But don't let grief then stay your hand.
For on this day, more than the rest
Your love and friendship must stand the test.
We have had so many happy years,
You wouldn't want me to suffer so.
When the time comes, please, let me go.
Take me to where my needs they'll tend,
Only, stay with me till the end.
And hold me firm and speak to me
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time you will agree
It is a kindness you do to me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I have been saved.
Don't grieve that it must now be you
Who has to decide this thing to do.
We've been so close - we two -these years,
Don't let your heart hold any tears.

Re: Moxley
Ah crap. Very sorry to hear man.
I've got two labs and they're very much members of the family.
I'm sure it was the right decision and it eased his pain.
Chin up mang!

RIP Moxley 
I had to put my Golden down a few years back, Einstein was 15...they are family.
You will meet him again on Rainbow Bridge...just keep that in mind
