My apologies...

Curly is still alive.  sorry Mom and other readers if you thought otherwise. See -  here he is:

OK, he doesn't look great because he is on codeine which makes him really dopey, but he is resting comfortably. 

The reason I went on the rant was because so many people in the variety of parks that we visit would either see him, or ask about him, and then launch into these comments.  And I was anticipating the other comments after he was gone - which I believe caused the confusion.  I guess I didn't word it very well.  I appreciate that people care enough to ask but I could really do without some of their responses.  I have found that there are no end to the people who believe that helping means offering advice.  Sometimes it is just best to say, I'm sorry to hear about Curly and move on. 

Anyway, Curly is still here but we have spoken with the vet to make his appointment.  Curly has been spending most of his day lying in his bed and the wag is gone when I suggest that we go for a walk so that says to me it is time.  November 30 is his appointment day.

I guess the rant was a plea to anyone reading who knows Curly to please not offer advice on how I can keep him around or comment that he looks good. I am having a hard enough time convincing myself that this is the right thing to do.  And I'm hoping that by talking about this and recording the process will help anyone else who is struggling, or knows someone who is struggling with the same decision.

So sorry for the confusion but we have a plan in motion.  And I am OK with it, for now...

I am so sorry that you're having to go through this. I once read that your dog is every dog and I find that to be so true. Anytime I see or hear about another dog in pain I feel like it is happening to my own dog. My heart goes out to you and Curly.
