Our Great Dane, Emma, has moved on to bigger and better things.   :'( Getting old sucks, but pretty amazing that she made it a few months past 12 years. Arthritis in her hips, and most likely some degenerative nerve disease in her lower back. She's had a tough time walking for several months (especially on smooth floors), and the last few days I had to carry her down the few stairs to our back yard (not an easy task with a 100 lb dog). Last night she couldn't stand on her own, so...the only bad part of dog ownership. She was a fantastic dog.

RIP Emma.  May you have a never-ending supply of Kongs to chew on, and things to sniff.

Sorry for your loss 3J.
And the sugar fountain fairy swore so hard when she came to super-size that stale hope soybean; liiiike a homeless German woman. Who is this super-sizing spirit-crushing femme? And tell her I'll break a tree root up in her shrimp.

Being faster than you thought possible…it feels good. No, screw thatâ€"it feels like shotgunning a gallon of adrenaline and chasing it with an all-night orgy aboard a burning Viking boat.

Sorry to hear.  :'(

If it's any consolation, twelve years with a large dog is abnormal so you got to enjoy her company for longer than most.

Real sorry to hear this bad news.
She looks like she was a great Great Dane and you know your love and care helped her make it that far.
RIP Emma.

Thanks everyone. She had a good, long life and it was time. Still sucks though.

It's going to be interesting to see how my other dog, Gabby, handles it. She's 10, and we got her first when she was a pup (we got Emma when she was 3). They were buddies. She'll get more attention now though, and get to go more places with me since it's much easier to take just 1. So far she's acting normal, but I'm guessing it'll take a few days before she realizes Emma isn't coming home. She also won't have to share the spot in front of the heater vent anymore...she's already taking advantage of that!  :)

Sorry to hear.

We lost our dog 7 months ago and sometimes it still crushes me like it was yesterday.

Sounds like Emma lead a great life.

Probably pretty close. We only lived in the townhouse for a couple years, and we got Emma and my Monster while we lived there.
