I love those, some of the sweetest, most intelligent and loving dogs I've ever been around. You can just see there's something special about them when looking in their eyes. I love when he posts pics of his, that little one is adorable.

My home is a little emptier tonight... One of my dogs, Bernie, crossed the bridge at 4:10 this afternoon.
He was diagnosed with Cushing's Disease and had a thryoid condition, in the last year he also developed diabetes and lost his eyesight.
Up until this afternoon, he was fine; I took all of the dogs out for a walk this afternoon. Bernie had this hacking cough last week and was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. He took the course of meds prescribed by our Vet and was doing better, today the cough came back and it was worse. I took him to the vet this afternoon, and from the time we got home from the walk until the vet appointment I could tell something was wrong. Normally when I call the dogs, they come right over. I had to get Bernie and carry him out to my truck.
His lungs were filling with fluid and he had a temperature of 105.6. The vet took some X-rays and discovered a very large tumor in Bernie's right lung and another large tumor on his spleen. There was nothing that could be done for him.
I called Trish (my wife); she called my son Jon who had just gotten out of class at the Academy and they came to the vet's office to say goodbye.
I held Bernie in my arms as Dr. Patil gave him the injection that ended his suffering. He died peacefully.
Rest easy, Bernie... I'll see you at the Rainbow Bridge...
