Hi all, I just got some sad news. I know this isn't basset related, (so the Administrators can delete this if they want) but my fiance Bill just called me EXTREMELY upset. JD (Justadog) his 13 yr old Newfie/Lab has to be put down tonight.

Bill just moved into his new house last week. A couple of days prior to that, JD had a mini-stroke but has been responding well to the steriod treatment. Anyway, JD was home alone yesterday afternoon and decided to explore the new house a little bit. (The house isnt very big, and its all on one floor) The bathroom door was open so he went in to look around and the floor mat slipped out from under him and he fell. It must have shook him up pretty bad cause he peed and pooed all over the bathroom. (I think that he panicked himself into another mini-stroke) They think he may have been like that for a couple of hours. Poor thing! Anyway, Bill's parents stopped over looking for Bill and that's when they found JD.

After cleaning him up, he started to calm down as the night went on. However, Bill's been home with him all day today and he just "hasn't been right." So after all JD's been thru the past couple of weeks and after what happened last night.. JD "told" Bill it was time. They will be waiting for me to come down to his house tonight to say goodbye before we take him to the vet.

Thanks for letting me share.
