We had to put Tucker down a week ago. It has been a hard and very sad week without him. Tucker injured himself about a month ago and after many visits to the vet and finally an emergency visit to the animal hospital, they discovered that he has a herniated disc in his back. it caused a lot of neurological damage (no use of his hind legs, no control of his bowels..) and a lot of pain for the big boy. we brought him home to try and care for him, but we could not elevate the immense pain that he was in.
What a precious gift Tucker has been to us over the past 9 years. over the years he has become another member of the family and will be dearly missed by all. during the day when i miss his companionship the most, i picture him running freely with his brother Chase...both without pain and injury! tucker brought so much joy to all of us, especially carson. i find so much comfort and joy knowing that he will now bring that same joy to Chase (and many more).
