Hey guys,
thank you for all of your really kind words. I was really hopeful that Gabe would be able to spend some time here with us, settle in, and get to live in a "home" environment before he passed on - but I guess it was his time, and I really am grateful that I didn't have to make the call for him and have him euthanized. I feel a lot better this morning, and I guess that I really should have done a better job of mentally preparing myself for what happened. I mean, I knew that in all likelihood he would go downhill eventually, but it just caught me totally off guard that it happened so quickly and horribly. I'm happy that we got to spend a little while with him before he started seizing, and I'm happy that he was asleep when he passed and that I was with him. I would have felt terrible if it happened in the middle of the night and he was alone.
Again, thanks for all of your thoughts and nice words...they help a lot

I'm so sad for you and little Gabe. But you did what most wouldn't do and for that I thank you.
From the looks of it he had nothing but love around him. There is no better or peaceful way to go than with love around you. I'm sure Gabe thanks you.

Sad stuff, but its good to hear he died in his sleep peacefully... not to mention in that environment.

Thanks Irijes and andrewss I hope that even though he wasn't the brightest little puppy, he knew how loved he was here.

The dog with the blue collar reminds me of a dog I had growing up. When we would bring him in the car on the way home he would start going nuts once we pulled on to our street so we would pull over and let him out and he would race us home, he always beat us, he was a beast. It was so damn funny how excited he would get once we got close to home.

The puppy, Gabe? Or the Yellow Lab with the dark blue collar? The yellow lab is Lucy, she's ours She's a real sweetie, and is famous for her uncanny ability to clear off a coffee table with one swoop of her tail. We're in the process of having her certified as a therapy dog so that we can volunteer in nursing homes and hospitals and stuff.

The yellow lab, I miss having a dog. Yellow labs can be beasts. We would bring our dog into the hospice too the elderly and dying love having pets around. Were I live they want like $100 extra a month on rent if you have a pet and I can't afford that.

That sucks. The whole bullshit with landlords not allowing pets or charging extra for them is half the reason we bought our own house this year - I love animals and wanted to be able to have whatever I wanted in my home. We just rented our upstairs unit to a girl with a golden retriever, and she told us how she had been looking for months for a place, and no one would allow her dog...it's so sad to me that people are like that. As long as a dog has a good temperament and is trained to not be destructive, I don't see the issue.

Exactly, I mean they replace the carpet so often I don't see how it matters. People tear up the places they rent even more than any dog could ever do. I'm sure I could just never tell them but I don't wanna risk eviction I couldn't come up with the money to move or even put down on a new place.

Yeah, the worst thing to do is try to hide shit from a landlord or management company - if you got caught, every landlord that asked for a reference after that would find out that you were dishonest, etc. That would suck! If you were near Boston, I'd let you get a dog and rent our 2nd unit

Thanks man 
We'd love to see you again soon, if you're around at all coming up? let us know. 
On a happier note from our house, Sunshine, our other foster dog, got adopted today by a wonderful family. She was so happy with them and their children, and I'm happy for her - she waited SO long for this!
