DEGENERATIVE MYELOPATHY - Dog Birth to Death Guide
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 янв 2023
- My beautiful wolfdog Mr Blue died of Degenerative Myelopathy & I'm devastated, but through this pain I've created a full guide to what to expect from Degenerative Myelopathy from birth to death so that we can help others suffering with this help their dogs more from how to choose a wheelchair, to how to help with loss of bowel movements to knowing when it is time to put your beloved to sleep. I didn't have any online help when Mr Blue started his decline so I really hope that our heartbreak can ease other's pain x
Degenerative Myelopathy or DM is a disease affecting the spinal cord, resulting in slowly progressive hind limb weakness and paralysis. It is a disease that mainly affects The German Shepherd and Siberian Husky.

Honestly-I felt guilt when my family went through our dog withering away. The only comfort I could take was that my dog had a loving home for his lifespan. Recognize that you gave him a great life. I feel there is guilt either way whether they linger and suffer or whether you put them to rest early. You did the best you could-It's heart breaking.
Thankyou x
Hello, I am a czechoslovakian wolfdog breeder (FCI) and I am really happy that you have made this video. All responsible breeders do DM test and also dwarf and dysplasia tests. Do not buy wolfdogs without genetic tests and without pedigree. I am sorry for your loss. I lost my czechoslovakian wolfdog last summer because of cancer. He was 12.
With the quantity of strays in the world is it perhaps not time to stop breeding dogs? My dogs - all rescues from the streets, big beautiful dogs - were utterly perfect. Why encourage more dogs into a severely overpopulated world of strays and unwanted? Particularly a wolf cross.
@@weallmakechoices7456 It's simple, you know what you're getting with a breeder, but with a rescue dog you have no idea what you're getting mentally or genetically. In addition, if you only buy from good breeders who produce dogs ethically then there will be considerably less backyard breeders and puppy mills that produce unnecessary or unhealthy dogs
So sorry for your loss! You will be in our prayers. My wife and I have had many dogs cover the years and have felt this grief many times. It's NEVER easy. The sadness in your eyes penetrates through. Stay strong. We love your channel and watch your vids regularly. Your kindness and love for these dogs shines like a beacon.
Don't ever stop
Aw Thankyou so much for your beautiful words 🫶
My heart is broken for you... I wish you so much strength in this difficult period, and those to come. I hope Mr Blue has found his peace and is watching over you. And also thank you for sharing yours and Mr. Blues story for owners and dogs suffering from DM. 💐
My dog died 2 days ago. I can't stop crying . She didn't die from this, but watching this to educate myself and seeing what you went through , really touches me, while I go through what I am going through
So sorry for your loss🥺 it's tough losing our fur babies.
So sorry for your loss. My older dog has been in heart failure for over 2 years. It's been hard to see him decline, but I'm so glad he is still with me, but I know I'll have to say goodbye soon. There is never enough time with them, and it is beyond heartbreaking to have to say goodbye.l, I've done it twice before. My best to you! 🤗
I'm Sure you did All you could May your dog RIP ♥️🙏
@@norahferraro4438 it really is , especially when I know I should of been a better master, friend for her . Thank you
@@marmitenot. I'm sorry you're going through that while knowing the end is near and the time is limited. A lot of people don't understand the damages or the affect these animals have on people when they're gone. Its just like losing a human being , in a sense.
This was a tough one and I'm so sorry you lost Mr Blue. The love and care you gave him towards the end was beautiful and it was wonderful to see him happy and smiling in spite of his disability.
Thanks for what you showed us. You are a great dog Mom We all love our fur babies so much and it is hard to let them go...
My late best friend did not have DM, and his downturn was very sudden and short. He collapsed one day, could not get up. He was panting a great deal, and he was panicking. I rushed him to the vet and they met me at my car with a gurney. I waited inside for a short time, and they came to tell me that Jack had a tumor surrounding his heart, that surgery would not save him, and that he wouldn’t get better. They administered oxygen and possibly drugs to stabilize him, and I made the decision immediately that I would not prolong his suffering for my sake. They wheeled him back in to say goodbye, but he was still panting and couldn’t lift his head. I had them administer the euthanasia drugs, and did my last hugs and kisses after he had passed. It was very peaceful.
I was utterly devastated, but I knew he was in heaven, running in the field and rolling in the grass. I felt no guilt, because I knew he was happy and free. Not everyone feels the assurance I did regarding an afterlife, but that conviction gave me great peace for his sake. I have his paw print on a small necklace, and a full size one in ceramic by my bed. This was 3 years ago, two days ago now. I’m still at peace regarding my decision, though I still miss him everyday.
I'm tearing up watching this. My German boxer also had it and I was grieving for over a year even before he died. It broke my heart every day to watch his decline. My heart goes out to you
❤️❤️❤️❤️💔💔💔💔🙏🙏
I know this exact feeling. I grieved before my dog actually went too. Same thing, DM diagnosed at 8 years old. Perfectly healthy German shepherd full of life and suddenly our world turned upside down. This video brought back all the emotions but I feel it's good for people to understand that this can happen and be prepared to care for the dog properly if God forbid it happens to anyone else
Rest in peace bro you will be remembered:( mr blue has past away sadly so I hope your channel will stay strong and ur animals too. Rest in peace mr blue
I’m so sorry about Mr. Blue, Anneka! You did everything possible to help him to give him the fullest quality of life! Thank you for sharing these amazing recourses to help! Kacey was especially informative! Blue’s spirit runs free now and I believe you will meet him and all your other soulmate animals again when you are returned to them! 💙🌈🐺😇🐺🙏❤
Thankyou so much 🙏
Rest in peace precious Blue.. you fought like a true wolf
Mr. Blue lived a long happy life better than any other wolfdog could've asked for and it's all because of you he had that life Anneka you amazing person and Mr. Blue would want you to go on and be happy too
Thankyou ❤️
About two years ago, i watched a lot of your videos. It is very clear how much you love your dogs so I know how hard this must be for you.
I'm certain that despite his condition he lived a very good life with you, and that he found his peace.
I'm sorry for your loss.
Rest in Magnificence dear Mr Blue. Thank you for creating such a legacy, education, in his honour. My condolences for your loss. 😿💙
I am so sorry. RIP Mr. Blue. Sending love and light from Guatemala.
I believe my dog Bella had this yet was never diagnosed with it because my vet never diagnosed it properly. I lost my beautiful Bella in August and I never knew why, now I understand what happened to her. Thank you for your video. My Bella was a Husky and 3 month away from her 12th Birthday. Not a day passes I don’t miss her terribly. There will forever be a hold in my heart. I am truly sorry for your loss of Mr. Blu. Hurts my heart. I helped my sweet girl get up and walk so she could go to the bathroom. I tended to her until I had to make the choice to put her to rest. It was the worst day of my life. This video is so important. It was so hard to see her struggle because she had the Will to live and she let me know when she was done. I fought with her so hard. My Bella was the best friend and my love. 💕💜💕🙏🏻✌🏻🌹🌺🌸🌼✨
I am going through the same thing... I'm on my third vet and no one suggested this or Anything!!!! To help her but maybe a med or NSAID! Inhumane
Dear Anneka,
I'm so so sorry for your loss.
He knew he was loved. You have such a big heart for all animals.
It must've been so hard to see him get worse, since walking/running/jumping & playing is so important to dogs. They even dream about it.
Mr. Blue will never be forgotten.
Rest In Magnificence, buddy Blue. I'll continue to pursue accomplishing what I set out to do for the world in your name & honor. Keep the howls going
Aw Thankyou xx
What a beautiful pup. I had to put my German Shepherd Diesel down a week ago on 7/14/23 due to Degenerative Myelopathy and Cognitive Dysfunction. I was blessed to have him for over 14 years. My big beautiful boy. I miss you.
So sorry for your loss. You gave him the best life. One day we will see our fur-babies again.
Sorry for lost. Dogs are angels loaned to us from heaven. Mr. Blue went home and is waiting for you
I have a German Shepherd, his name is Max. Watching this video is maybe the hardest for me to have ever watched. He is why I'm still alive. This video was heartbreaking. Mr. Blue is still with you and waiting for you. Sorry for your loss. Love what you do.
I still believe it is the ultimate act of love. Keeping them going when they have no quality of life and struggle to engage with us is driven by our own needs. They are such loyal animals they will try so hard to please, even when they are really struggling with it. Having it done at home is the best way. It's pain free and they are surrounded by love while they go to sleep. We are so blessed by having them in our lives.
Sorry for your loss. I lost my beautiful boy and companion, Capitán, a GSD, from the same terrible disease, DM. Like you, I conducted extensive research and equipped my boy with a wheelchair, anti-knuckling booties, nappies, and a carrier that helped us help him move around and take potty breaks. He was 110 pounds, a big boy, and having stairs at home became a real hurdle for him and us. I could relate to Mr. Blue’s frustation when unable to move. I also knew his mind was still very much present but his body simply gave in. We knew the time to say goodbye was near when he could no longer use his front paws to move and with every accident, he would just cry in frustration. We had a Vet come into the house on his last day. I stayed with him until the light in his eyes was no more. My heart is broken still after one year and keep his ashes close to me; somehow it comforts me. I still talk to him like I used to and will forever miss his smile. Rest in peace Capitán and Mr. Blue.
I'm very sorry for your loss rest in peace for your dog,he will never be forgotten
RIP Mr Blue, sending my condolence to a beautiful soul!!
Thank you so much. My boy, Zeus is starting down this road and this is the first video I've seen of its kind. He is a 10 yo large boned GSD and I adopted him at 1 1/2. I have no idea of his breeding. He is the bestest boy, and has made every step I've made after my daddy passed in 2020. I will give my boy dignity and the happiest days as long as I can. Thank you again for making this video.
Darcie
Am sorry for your lose. May he rest in peace now.
Rest In Peace Mr Blue, We all miss you but you will always be remembered
So so sad! Condoliances to you dear Anneka. May he rest in peace now poor little thing! Hugs
I am so sorry that you had to go through this with Blue. Thank you so much for creating this video.
Our girl, Sugar, also had degenerative myelopathy. She was around 12 years old when she died. We are so devastated after losing her 3 weeks ago today 😢 She was a Great Pyrenees that we rescued in NYC over 8 years ago. The rescue believes that she was used as a backyard breeding dog in the Southern US.
Sugar’s back legs had been failing her after we had her for 7 years. We tried doggie physical therapy last summer to keep her back legs a little bit stronger for more time. For the past few months, Sugar was depressed since she was so big and it was so difficult to take her places when her hind legs didn’t work. She started not even wanting to sniff around outside. We used a special harness that helped us lift her up and carry her as best we could -she was over 100 pounds. One night three weeks ago, she got sicker really quickly and was struggling to breathe. We knew it was time. I feel guilty that she suffered for over a year with DM and we are not sure why her body shut down so fast. We don’t know if something else was going on that the vet missed.
We had a very kind vet come to our home to euthanize her. It hurts so much to lose her and I cry all the time. I’m 47 now and she was my first dog (I wanted dogs since I was a little girl but just couldn’t properly care for one until in my late 30s). She was the best girl and I don’t know how I’m going to live without her but I’m working on that. Thank you for reading this and for how well you take care of your sweet pups. They are our family ❤
Aah This is so sad. Rest in peace little dog. My doberman also died of something like DM(if not DM only). She also developed similar paralysis in hind legs which slowly became more severe at the age of 10. Thank you so much about this much needed info. I think you did a great job. It was me being really selfish not euthanizing her on time and my dog did suffer a lot at the end.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I remember seeing Mr blue in another video he seemed like such a beautiful Czech wolfdog and deffs had that beautiful look
This is why I really do want to develop a solid healthy line of wolf dogs in the future. Many of the breeds have some bad inherited issues from some of their non wolf ancestors and even some of the wolf ancestors. Beyond temperaments and the rest.
I believe most dogs should be fixed for health reasons for the dog , but early testing and especially those with genetic issues.
I just hope nothing like this happens to my cane corso puppy rescue. She's the result of an accidental breeding. Silly vet told the females owner to wait to fix her cause of nervousness issues and she lives near a guy with a unfixed male stud dog. But alot of cane corso breeders where I live have no concern for dog health...
Thank you so much for this video. I suspect my Corgi has DM. I’m taking him to the vet tomorrow to hopefully get some answers. I had high hopes he had arthritis so I could help him manage it, but after coming across DM and watching videos of other dogs with it it’s clear to me that is what my boy has. I’m so scared to lose him, but I also want him to have a full life. He’s been such a good boy.
A dna test will help you diagnose. I’m so sorry 😞
It is coming up to a year ago that I had to make a decision to help my dog cross over and stop his suffering. I look at all his photos now from those weeks before I even knew what would happen. Looking at the photos it is so clear how much he was deteriorating and I didn’t see it😢 I have no regret about this decision. He was suffering and it would be my own selfishness to not to stop it. We had it done at home in my lap and it was and is hard. We had a beautiful funeral for him and his ashes will be scattered in his favorite running space in the dunes by the beach. Thank You so much for this very informative video. I am sure so many dog lovers will be grateful. My very very sincere condolences for your loss. You did everything you could and you made the right decision to let him go.❤❤❤❤❤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
There's one thing Anneka, he had an amazing Mum who gave him an amazing life. God Bless his soul
Aneeka you are a wonderful person who has given every animal that you have come in contact with a beautiful home I hate to say that you have lost many of your beautiful companions but yet you have gave them as much love as you could to each and everyone of them thank you for educating me about DM that is a terrible disability disease to watch your precious baby go through this may God have many blessings for you up above for watching over many of his creatures and I am so sorry for your loss you are a true wonderful beautiful person that God made your heart as big as the ocean thank God that he had you to love him
My white German shepherd died to similar disease. He died in my arm n I still misses him today. I adopted White Cloud from Humane Society Idaho. My Dad thought in the beginning that he was pure breed Wolf dog. We have to reclassify him as big German shepherd in Az. He gave us 9 wonderful years of my life. I stayed with till the very last breath he took. Something an experience I will never want to see. I look at his picture every day n I wish I have done more. His case not Mutch I can do but watch him slip to my hand. Now I have four dog n White Cloud is no related to them n thank God for it, he always been the foundation of our relationship. I watch your video everyday n very informative. Thanks
Kasey is a wealth of knowledge. She is just wonderful!!!
When I was started to crying while watching this , my dog somewhow managed to sense that from the saloon and run through my room and started to scratch my door and crying "Dad let me in!". Those creatures are gift for humanity. More you love them, more they loves you.
R.I.P Mr. Blue, We will always remember you as a handsome sweetheart boy.
I feel your pain and I’ve been there three times, please keep in mind when the time comes to be with your dog when they closes your eyes, being with them into that very last moment is the best thing for them.
I love your channel in everything you do for dogs
This is very sad, I'm so sorry. This brought me to tears. Rest in Peace beautiful Blue. 😥🌹
I’m very sorry. I lost my dog five weeks ago to a suspected brain tumour. We had to watch her legs gradually fail her, heart breaking! My heart goes out to you❤
I’m so sorry 😞
So sorry for your loss. Praying for you and your family 🙏🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss and thank you for allowing Mr Blue to educate people on DM as well as ways to help animals that are partially paralyzed to move better, remain clean and live their best lives. I have found that when I make the decision to euthanize completely about my animal's well-being and if he/she is saying "I'm ready" or "It's time" and it's not about what I want or need, then you have less doubt which reduces your feeling of guilt. For me, it really feels like I'm removing a part of myself. Then you REALLY look at your pet and open your whole heart to him/her and the answer is there.
I know.. Thankyou for your words 🙏❤️
So very sorry for the heartbreaking loss of your beloved friend and devoted family member 💔
My condolences and rest in peace beautiful Mr. Blue. Thank you for this video and the important information. Stay strong! 🙏❤️
Difficult to watch, really feel your pain💖 Our dogs are out good days & we treasure them. God bless you 🙏❤️
I am so so sorry to hear this, Anneka!! The last few mins were so sad to watch, my heart goes to you and your family.
I’m so sorry for your loss! I’m so glad he was able to live a long and full life before he began experiencing symptoms. And that you were able to support him for as long as you were. Without a doubt our dogs deserve all of the love and care we can possible give them ❤
Oh, Anneka! My condolences on the loss of dear Mr Blue. As a guy who has had GSD's in my life since I was 4 years old, 18 of them, I can sympathise completely. Every one of those dogs was special to me, individuals in both character, looks & behaviour. Again, so sorry.
Thankyou so much 🫶❤️🙏
@@Animal-Watch You had me in tears, dear lady. 💔
Thank you for your content and videos but truly most of all thank you so much for caring for our furry friends the way you do! He definitely knew he was loved so much I am so thankful he called you mum!!!!! ♥️♥️♥️🥹🥰🥹🥰
This is so sad, thank you for sharing. Sorry for your loss. I cried seeing how you put flowers on him. I know this video was hard to make.
Long live all the dogs in the world 🙏❤️
This is so sad. Very sorry for the loss. Crying right now, it’s just so sad. At least he got to live a long and happy life.
So sorry for your Loss. Prayers 🙏
Watched 5 times in 5 parts..was too much for me to see it at once 🙏😥😥You, dear Anneke are really very brave to do this video, extremely hard..I am glad, that at least Mr. Blue 💙 lived longer as he supposed to. When they suffer so much, it is better to say goodbye, for sure . My condolences, dear beautiful lady and God bless you, your whole family. It is always hard to lose them, yet their spirit stays with us. Cannot imagine life without them, ever. Thanks you for this incredible channel and I thank all animals for making our life so much more beautiful and full of joy! Be blessed, healthy and recover soon. Love 😥🙏💙
So sad to hear about Mr. Blue, my heart goes out to you and your family. Thank you for this informative video, it can't have been easy. Kindest regards, Joanne 🐺
So sorry for your loss of Mr Blue. We had a Newfoundland for 9 years, he was so gentle & loving but had Leukaemia, it got to point where he could not get up, our vet was great with him, & he was laid to rest last September & buried in our very large garden. We recently got a Czech Wolfdog from a rescue centre, she is hard work, but already after only 5 days is showing a huge improvement & trust, we hope she does not have this disease, we know nothing of her history, so like you stated it is a waiting game
So sorry for your loss! Prayers and lots of love for you, may the good Lord accompany you and help you go through such terrible times! 😞
Thank you for making this video. Our German Shepherd was diagnosed with DM in April. In some ways he is very early in the disease, and in others it shows more progression. We know we are counting our time with him in days and weeks and not months or years any longer. He's made it to about 12 years old. Otherwise healthy, he was found running on the side of the highway on Christmas day in 2013 so we aren't sure exactly how old he is. Based on his size and other traits, we and the vet guessed about 9 months old, but he never got any bigger. He is a small GSD at about 60 pounds (27ish Kilos).
I've been looking for videos, so we know what to expect as things continue to progress and yours is the first that took a practical look at the issue, and not such a clinical, dry angle. I'm so sorry for your loss, Mr Blue reminds me of our Rogue so much. The same life in their eyes, and smiles on their faces. Our youngest is 8 and her and Rogue love each other so much. Your son playing with Mr. Blue reminded me of how she is with him.
The fact that you plan on having your dogs with you for eternity also brought me to tears. Ours will likely go with our children, as my wife and I both plan on taking our pieces with us through tattoos with their ashes mixed with the ink.
Thank you again for sharing your experience, know that it has helped at least on other family be able to give their family member the best and most time possible with us.
I’m so so sorry to hear and I really hope my story has helped you a little x
You’ve got an amazing soul.
This episode really did break me. There was some amazing clips and information.
Your son playing with Mr Blue, when he could no longer stand,
when he was laid out-that’s when I suddenly just wept.
God knows how you cope.
Stay strong!
I'm so sorry for your loss and my deepest condolences. Dogs are family and to loose a family member is always hard.
It is so strong to talk about what happend and I appreciate it very much. You did your best to help Mr. Blue as much as you could. You took care of his needs, not many people would do it the same amout as you did. My deep respect for that. Thank you for talking about that disease, even though you are still mourning about your loss, just to help other dogs and their owners, so they can stay together as much as possible. Hopefully it will reach a lot of people and their dogs out there.
Thank you.
Mr. Blue will always be wth you.
I don't know how you got through this episode, it was extremely selfless of you.
I felt guilty for putting both of my dogs to sleep, and I think that's only natural, but when it comes to a certain point, it is more selfish to keep them alive if they are suffering and it's the only kindness we can pay them to relieve them of their suffering. God did grant us dominion over animals, and He instructed us to treat them kindly. Letting a dog exist in misery isn't kind. You did good, even though it was so very hard. ❤️
It's sad to see you sad Anneka, you have always made me happy with your videos. You made some of us know many dogs breeds around the world that we didn't even know they exist. I hope you heal. It's painful to lose a pet I know. Very sorry
My friend recently lost her retired police k9 malinois to this awful disease. They had been an unstoppable team for years, and like you she was by his side every step of the way. They soaked up every minute and treasured moments made. May you be filled be filled with your many warm memories until you one day see each other again.❤
Very sorry for your loss on behalf of my wife and I and our two dogs we love your videos and we wish you the best.
You made me so sad this sunday morning,i try not to cry..stay strong for the sohls in need out there.greetings from greece.
Sorry for your loss hope you get well soon beautiful and amazing lady and hello from New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦
I had this with my little girl- but she only weighed 5.5 kg. With her wheels and me expressing her bladder and bowels, she lived happily to 15. What a touching and important account of Mr Blues life-thank you. 🐶💕💕💕💕
Thank you for this video. Beautiful dogs!
I am so sorry for your loss. I could only watch for a few min's. So heartbreaking. Having shepherds all of my life, I love them so.
Rest in peace Mr blue, you were lovely dog.... Anneka you are amazing person and great animal lover..
Thankyou x
God Bless my heart hurts but I loved how you cared for your dog.
I’m so sorry, my condolences. Thank you for the information and for sharing your experience.
I'm terribly sorry for the loss of your wolfdog he will rest in peace
I couldn’t watch this video to the end. The tragedy of Mr Blue was
devastating. I can’t know your heart or the depth of your grief. Thank you
for giving us a look into a most private part of your 2 lives.❤️❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss of Mr Blue. Sending lots of love and *Hugs* xxxx
Rest in peace, precious angel. I love you so very much🙏🏻❤️
Thank you for sharing this video. I know this was a heartbreaking experience for you but I appreciate through your heartache you’re helping to bring awareness and helping others to cope. I hope your heart find peace and you are an exemplary pet owner 🌻💕
So so sorry to hear this. Blessings to Mr. Blue and to you. It's never to lose family. Good thoughts and prayers.
Sorry for your loss…
Thank you for sharing this ! I'm soooo sorry for your babies passing. As someone who has an 8 year old German Shepherd, and Tamaskan this is one of my biggest fears. This was very helpful and best wishes and good health to you and your pack ! ! ! btw I'm sure I'm not the only one that cried the entire Episode.
Aw I’m so sorry I made you cry but that’s because you have a beautiful heart 🫶🙏❤️
I lost my beloved Kensi less than a month ago and I still miss her terribly. I had to let her go at the age of 10 when she had sudden internal bleeding. Turns out it was cancer. We still tried surgery but that only gave us 10 extra days together instead of a few months as predicted by the vet...euthanasia was my last act of love to her. She was suffering and there was nothing else to do. I stayed with her until the end and asked her to forgive me for not being able to save her. I feel your pain. We truly wish we could save our fur babies and give them a very long and comfortable life but unfortunately sometimes sending them over the rainbow bridge is all we can do to avoid their suffering...
I am terribly sorry for your loss. I know you took the best care of Mr. Blue and all your future and previous loved pets. I grew up watching Mr. Blue on your channel and it hurts deeply knowing he is no longer with us. Take care in this hard time, and thank you so much for the information on DM.
Sending so much overwhelming love, support, prayers, and healing vibes your way. Losing a fur baby is never easy, and is a pain I wish no one would have. I feel a great sadness for you, but I hope you can find some comfort and peace in knowing that he knew nothing except your everlasting love for him. Please take care of yourself and find some rest, we all love you! 💕
I can barely cry for a human in distress, but Mr Blues story really hit me...
Sorry for your loss! 🙏
Mr. Blue was blessed to have you and you to have him , what a wonderful friend❤
Rest in peace 😭
We are so sorry for your loss of a best friend and beloved family member ❤️
RIP 2 your dog 🐕 my condolences 2 u. 🙏
Im sorry for your loss. Mr Blue had a good lfe with you and the pack. You did an amazing job with his care. Lots of love from Zak and his human. xxx
Thankyou so much ❤️🙏
Very sad. So sorry for your loss.
My little boi German Shepherd is also called BLUE ! I am really sorry what happened to your Mr. Blue ma'am. I can't even dare to imagine what you must have gone through all those long years. It breaks my heart. I hope Blue is a free soul now, free of his body and just inhibiting your beautiful aura and he'll remain by your side always ! About me, I have always remained a big fan of German Shepherds and I have always had this fear - even before I got Blue, ever since I saw a few paralysed dogs and knew how common it is - fear of them developing dysplasia or DM or something like that because in these situations you can only fear and pray as there is no way to know whether they have it or not when they are puppies. Thank you for sharing with us all your research. It will help a lot of people and dogs in need I am sure. May it eases their hard journeys and may they all "live a happy and fulfilled life "
Thankyou so much 🙏❤️
Heart felt pain at his situation. I don't have dogs due to not being home enough but l am a dog lover, and have had dogs. My Labrador was stolen from our garden one day never to be seen again, that is just as heart breaking as we never knew how he was, where he was and was he having a great time, or not. I watch all of your programs and am so happy that you managed 10 years with blue, he was lucky to have you. Best wishes.
So very sorry for your loss
I’m so sorry for your loss, Anneka! 😢 Rest in Peace, dear Mr. Blue, you will never be forgotten!🐕❤
In 2016 I had to put my 14 yr old shep/collie mix down from this. It was heartbreaking to watch as he became more and more disabled by this. To know how he was such an active boy, to a dog that had the life leave his eyes when he could no longer get up. I had to carry him everywhere at the end. Horrible situation, of which I had no idea this was even a thing. Thanks for bringing light to DM. In loving memory of my boy Brando.
Rip Beautiful Mr. Blue you are still loved forever. 💔🐾
