So, it has been forever since I posted any kind of an update here about all that’s been going on with the Andersons, but that is because lots of fun and exciting things have been going on that have kept us really busy. However, this post isn’t about any of them.
After three weeks of non-stop vomiting, we had to make a decision about Cleo. I thought I was okay with it until I called the vet to make the appointment to have her put to sleep. And, then I lost it. I won’t say it was an easy thing to do, but we do know that it was the right answer.
Two weeks ago when we took her to the doggie emergency room she weighed a mere 87 pounds, which was very thin for her. Today, when we took her in, she weighed 74. She wasn’t doing well, and we know we made the right decision. But, it was an awful decision to have to make.
And, I fear how some of us are going to take it when he figures everything out!
She was a great dog, and we will miss her tremendously. Great Danes, like most big dogs, have a horrible life expectancy, but they are wonderful and worth it every time. I am sure this won’t be our last, but she will always be our first! We just wanted everyone who loved her as much as we did to know what was going on.
We love you guys!!!
Oh Sandy, I’m so sorry. That is a sad decision. Even reminding yourself it’s for the best for her does not help – I know.
Here is a great big *hug*
I’m so sorry Sandy & Joe. Cleo will be missed terribly by all!! {{HUGS}}
I am so sorry Sandy. I know that Cleo had a fantastic life, and that is all thanks to you and Joe.
Love to you both, and I’ll see you soon,

Words escape me…I am so sorry you guys are going through this. I can still remember her as a puppy(ish)…BIg Hug! K:)
I’m so sorry, you guys! Cleo was such a sweetheart, and I hope the Booger does okay without her. And you two also, of course!
It is so hard to lose a close friend, a family member. May love come to you both to ease the ache.
I’m so sorry Sandy! I know it was a hard decision to make. We’ll be thinking of you and Joe!
