Yesterday Trevor did not feel well and I figured he had a stroke like he did a few years ago. Today he is alert, eating and drinking but his right back leg has very little control and the foot is balled up just like last time. So, once again I am nursing my ol’ boo back to health. However, this time he is older and more feeble due to old age. I am not sure he can recover this time but he is trying so I am right beside him helping him walk, helping him get up and down and helping him in any other way I can.
Trevor saved me after the loss of my Niamh bring healing and joy into my life again. When he last had a stroke I nursed him back to health for he deserved no less for all he has given me and I love him dearly. Once again, he needs help and once again I am here to fight it out with him. However, he is old and feeble and if he cannot recover due to old age and his quality of life goes down hill then I will have to do the one thing that will break my heart,…. I am praying for a full recovery or for the Lord to call him home if he cannot recover for how can I put my best friend down……. after all he gave me? Please pray for him…. my best friend…. my Trevor Forever…

Oh , how my heart is aching for you and Trevor…!!! That’s what happened to Beulah as well , and I had to decide to do what I never wanted to do and this brings it all back , as if it was only yesterday . I shall never forget !!! Breaks my heart , even after all these years .
You are all in my thoughts and prayers , that you will have strength to get through this difficult time . It is never easy to let them go ….. but maybe another sweetheart is waiting, to find a place in your great big Collie Loving Heart …!!!!!
Ugh – Trevor will be in my thoughts!! Dogs are more than “dogs” and it is so, so heartbreaking when something like this happens….
My own 12 year-old Jack Russell, who was the flower girl in my wedding, was given weeks to live due to a baseball size tumor. I decided nothing but the best for her during her last weeks, which meant steak and what ever else that puppy wanted to eat. That was 2 years ago and she’s slower, but now expects steak every day and still queen of the pack. Did I mention the “pack” consists of German Shepherds 😉
I love that she’s Top Dog 🙂
I am so sorry to hear that, we are praying for Trevor to have a full recovery.
That is the one thing I always dread, euthanasia, I still cry when I think of my past dogs and having to make that decision, the guilty feeling even though it is the right thing to do, it never gets any easier so I know how you feel my friend. Enjoy your Trevor, it is in the Lords hands.
Bless you and your Collies
So sorry to hear about Trevor’s health problems. Praying hard for Trevor – and for you and all your family as well. It’s hard when our loved ones – dogs or people – grow older.
We have lit a candle for Trevor. Know that he will tell you what he needs (if you can listen through your pain). Do not think of helping him pass to the great meadow in the sky as ‘putting him down.’ It is actually ‘lifting him up’ and freeing his spirit when the body no longer can serve him. My thoughts are with you, all your humans, and collies. It is never easy. – Lorian (the human) of DogDaz
Sending you all our love and a big cuddle for Trevor. Get better buddy – your Dad and all of your friends, near and far, need you! x
How sad for you. Our old greyhound had several strokes and it was so hard to watch him struggle to regain his mobility. I’ll be thinking of you and Trevor and hoping he can bounce back from this.
Oh poor Trevor. I hope he improves.
I am praying for Trevor…. and for the rest of your family as well.
So sorry to hear the sad news about Trevor. I know many people will be praying for him. He is in my thoughts and prayers, as are you Chuck. God bless.
Oh my poor friend..how I wish I could be there to hug and support you…
My prayers, my love and my thoughts are with you all and with Trevor. God willing he will pull through again ….May Our Lord be with you at this sad time and I know that He will give you support and guidance..
Bless you
This breaks my heart! I have been so busy the past few days I haven’t been able to catch up on my favorite blogs. Now, I read this, and it makes me so sad. I hope Trevor can recover. I bet you are a wonderful caregiver, Chuck.
Please let Trevor know that Bones is with him every step on the road back to full health.
