For the past week it has been very difficulty for Marble to walk and she began losing control of her bladder. We were really just playing it day by day and hoping she would bounce back. Saturday night we came home to her unable to move at all and in obvious pain. She hasn't been eating or drinking much and has been loosing a lot of weight. Yesterday we decided that it was time she be put down because she was in so much pain. I slept next to her on the couch last night just petting her to help her calm down. She would bark if she moved the wrong way because it hurt so much. I didn't have the strength to bring her to the vet, besides she is Mark's dog and I know how much he wanted to be there with her when something happened. So Mark and his mom took her around 2 this afternoon. She went peacefully and was no longer in pain.
She was a wonderful dog who was loved by many and will be missed terribly. She lived a good, long life (15 1/2 years) and always had the energy of a puppy. We know that she is no longer in pain anymore and she's up with her buddy Missy in heaven.
With the only cat she ever got along with, Newton...

We love you and will miss you Marble, you were a great dog.

I can only remember when Marble would come over to Mom and Dad's and Missy and Marble would chase each other around and then just lye down next to each other by the door. Marble would wait for you and Mark to come home all the time. Marble was a great dog - and Missy now has a friend to enjoy those sunny days and lying on the couch with in doggie heaven!
