I can post this here, because no family sees this, and mom asked me to not to post anything on facebook till tomorrow night

So, we are going to have Socks put down tomorrow. She has been going downhill so fast, in the last 6 months she went from a healthy pup going great, to having trouble breathing and in the last few days she has not be able to keep down her food. And two days ago I found her outside, barely breathing, choking on this white mucusy foam... I wall all alone, but I managed to carry her in the house, and up the stairs and after calming her down and cleaning the foam from her mouth she was ok. But then it happened again yesterday, and her tongue turned gray during the episode, again I got the foam out of mouth and she stopped choking and gagging and after some water she calmed down and was ok again.

It happened again tonight. We can't let her suffer like this anymore. She is try her best to stay alive for us, I know it. But the way she looks at you when it happens is heart breaking. I love her so much, aren't puppy suppose to live forever?

But, 14 years 7 months is a long life for a dog, and Socks has been one of the best.

The preface of Marley & Me describe the kind of dog Socks has been...

"He came into my life and I in to his- and in the process gave me the childhood every kid deserves. (...)He was the perfect dog... at least that's how I will always remember him."

The author was talking about his first dog Shaun, and when I read that randomly I thought to myself, that is what Socks has been to my brothers and me.
