Dying bulldog saves owner from Grand Rapids fire
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (AP) -- A Michigan man's decision not to end his terminally ill bulldog's life has ended up saving his own.
Scott Seymour said his dog, Brittney, awakened him with her barking early Saturday in time for both of them to escape from his burning house in Grand Rapids.
The fire came two weeks after a veterinarian discovered the 9-year-old American bulldog had several cancerous tumors.
The vet said the dog might not survive surgery, and Seymour ruled out chemotherapy, believing it would be too hard on Brittney.
Seymour said he could have had Brittney put down, but instead decided to give her medication to blunt her pain until death comes naturally, probably within a few weeks.

After 16 years of companionship and playing with 4 kids, our beloved dog passed yesterday. I have not chatted about him as we have been struggling with his heath and the fine line between being compassionate and not letting go. We finally had to take him in yesterday as he could no longer walk and he was gently put to sleep in my arms. 16 is an amazing age to reach for a husky and I am sure he can finally chase rabbits and caribou with no pain, something he has not been able to do for a few years now.
Here is a puppy picture of him guarding one of the holes he dug, as well as a picture from a few years ago.

Northern Rose, what a beautiful animal, I'm crying, and I know there aren't any words I can say to help you, but please believe me, I know. My Zoe's tumor is bigger, and nothing can really be done, new medicine may help not to let it grow anymore. I feel like I'm dying a little everyday with worry, she is my best friend, I will pray for you and your family. Please take care

Norther Rose, I am so sorry about my post above! I tried to give you a hug & the wrong pic went in. (I should have previewed it!) I am so, so sorry. I'll try again. Please forgive me.
It's fixed.

CeCe no offense taken. It actually made me giggle which is nice as I have done my share of crying and still am. I love silly emoticons. The hugs are very much appreciated as well. I am really having a hard time today especially going out in the back yard and seeing his toys etc. We have another dog that was his buddy. He woke me almost every hour throughout the night last night wanting to go out as he is so confused right now. Your picture made me giggle as that was him every hour trying to tell me he wanted out.

Thank you no rose. They are like our children and I have been praying for your Zoe. I feel so bad as I read your post about him but because of what was going on with our dog felt my pain would overtake my compassion for you if I posted. Please know I have been thinking of you and Zoe know what you are going through.

Oh Northern Rose, you are such a classy person. Thank you for being so kind. I'm just mortified that the wrong pic went up.
I'm sure his buddy is lost without him & will grieve along with you. Please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thank-you so much, that is one reason why I don't visit this thread very often, but again I'm thinking of you and your family during this terrible time. I always think of you as the Queen of Links, you are always there with a link and article which I very much appreciate

Northern Rose, my heart hurts for you more than I can say. My beloved Chance died a year ago. He was 14. We had scheduled the euthanasia because he had pancreatitis and while my husband and I were in the waiting room at the vet's, he died in my older son's arms as he carried him in. I know that you did the right thing, but it still hurts. We still walk around the spot where he laid, (which of course is right in the center of our house traffic!) My prayers are with you. He was so beautiful.

Dear Northern Rose,
My heart is just breaking for you. Some people don't understand the love between our pets and us but I can feel your pain from here. My beloved Poohfur died in my arms, due to a stroke from diabetes at age 13. We now have an 8 yr old named Casper and there is still not too many days that I don't think of Pooh and miss him. Time will help and Max is no longer in pain but playing beyond the Rainbow Bridge.
Hugs, Magic

Northern Rose my heart goes out for you, the pain is tremendous not to mention the sadness when your companion dog is gone, no doubt even more difficult having to finally make that decision. Having just lost our dog to a sudden death in April I understand what you are going thru right now - my thoughts and prayers are with you.
I want to share this poem with you.....
IF IT SHOULD BE
If it should be that I grow weak
And pain should keep me from my sleep,
Then you must do what must be done
For this last battle cannot be won.
You will be sad I understand,
Don't let grief then stay your hand.
For this day more than all the rest,
Your love for me must stand the test.
We've had so many happy years,
What is to come can hold no fears,
You'd not want me to suffer so,
The time has come to let me go.
Take me where my need they'll tend,
And please stay with me until the end.
Hold me firm and speak to me.
Until my eyes no longer see.
I know in time that you will see,
The kindness that you did for me.
Although my tail its last has waved,
From pain and suffering I've been saved.
Please do not grieve it must be you,
Who has this painful thing to do,
We've been so close, we two, these years
Don't let your heart hold back its tears.
For I am now in a better place,
And will be waiting to see your happy face.
So when you cross that final bridge,
Look for me...
I'll be standing at the fridge.

Brani...
This picture you made is absolutely beautiful. I was holding up pretty well reading till I saw this. Thank you.
NorthernRose...My heart breaks for you. How wonderful that you had 16 blessed years to enjoy and accumulate your beautiful memories of Max. He was gorgeous. Wonder if he can catch the caribou now? Hugs.

Northern Rose - I am so sorry to hear about your Max. Just believe that you did the right thing for him by not allowing him to suffer. I too had to have my yorkie put down. It was one of the worst days of my life. I still think of her every day and keep her picture on my desk. I will keep your family in my prayers.

Thank you for sharing your story of your companion and your warm thoughts. I caught myself today walking around where he used to lay in the yard just as you mentioned you still do.
