Last night he Koda was trying his hardest to drink water. I was getting excited by how much we was drinking. I waited and watched, but then saw it wouldnt stay down. He almost fell over throwing up. He looked at me afterwards with a look in his eyes as if he knew he wasnt going to make it. Last night I petted him some but no where near enough. I hate that. I wish so much that I had more time with him that I cant swallow this damn lump in my throat. I went out this morning the check on him first thing. He wasnt where he usually was. I just knew I wouldnt find him alive. He was laying in corner by the house in tall grass. Right by my bedroom. The grass by his mouth smelled of vomit. I called his name and he moved his legs, and wagged his tail once. I moved him from that spot and called my wife over. She went in crying. I stayed out there petting him, listening to his shallow breaths. He exhaled twice deeply, then stoped. I talked to him the whole time. He waited on me to be there before he let go. Damn dog. Sorry boy. Wish I had spent more time with you more than I did. Thanks for waiting.

I'm sure he was comforted by your presence at the end. We all go eventually, we just hope the people we love are there to send us off.

Losing a dog is one of the toughest thing to do. I know how you feel and have my deepest sympathy.

Thanks for being there for Koda all the way. I know there was some measure of comfort when he saw you coming for him.

Now he gets to run collar-free where the rabbits are slow and the squirrels can't climb trees.  He'll be waiting there for you.

Thank you guus for your comments. I had to do one last hard thing a few hours ago. Tell my 7 year old. Koda was his dog. I spent the last week prepping my son for the reality of what was to come. He took it better than I did. I thought he would because he is a very emotionally independent person.  I thought it was better to wait until my son got out of school so he wouldn't be distracted from school work, rather than tell him over breakfast.  This sucks though. Seconddog we have had to burry in as many months. He is holding up well though. Very proud of him.
