Ohhh Riley

I can barely see through the tears as I type. I have been looking at old photos and videos trying to cheer up. I haven't lost him yet, but the time is coming. We take him to the vet saturday and I know what he is going to recommend...Riley seems to be just so tired. He keeps staring off into space and doesn't know if he wants to sit or stand..He tries to follow me everywhere and I feel bad that he keeps getting up..I want him to relax. He decided to eat today so I gave him my sandwich. Whatever he wants at this point. I took him for a ride, his favorite thing. His hair blowed in the wind and he closed his eyes and smelled the wind..He seemed so peaceful.That will be a happy memory to add to all the others..I will definatly put more videos on here when I get a chance because there are so many things I want to share. Thank you all for caring so much, it means so much and it's nice talking with people who understand that a dog is more than a dog..it's family!

Comment by BeanDip4All on September 25, 2008 at 9:59pm: Sounds like you are treating him very well these days, which I am sure he loves. Maybe he is faking everything just to get sandwiches and car rides? :) horrible joke but I hope it made you smile. He is very lucky to have a family who loves him so much. Please give Riley a pat on the head from me. Thoughts to your family.

Comment by Lou Ann Lemaster on September 25, 2008 at 9:08pm: I am so sorry to hear that Riley isn't doing better. You will know in your heart when the time is right. Maybe the vet could come to your house when the time comes, so that he will be in his loving home. My prayers are with you and your familly....and of course, sweet Riley.

Comment by Mandy and Lori on September 25, 2008 at 8:31pm: This is breaking my heart too. My thoughts prayers and love are with you all!! Give Riley a kiss for me.

Comment by Geri & Sidney on September 25, 2008 at 7:08pm: Riley is a very lucky dog to have such a kind and caring owner who loves him so much. I'm crying for you both right now; maybe taking some of your tears for you will help you have a smile or two for Riley in the next couple days.

Still thinking of you always...

Comment by Katie on September 25, 2008 at 6:01pm: I am so sorry. I am sending you and Riley peaceful thoughts. Enjoy the time you have left with him. And he IS family, I think you are giving him the noblest gift of all knowing that he will spend his last days with dignity and with the person that loved him most.
