I guess Im just not in the mood for this today.... Truck is warming up right now I have to take my dog, which is 2 months short of being 15 years old and I have had since she was a 6 week old puppy, To be Euthenized ...
She fell down yesterday and hasnt gotten back up.
As I said she is 15 Years old and has been having some trouble getting around for the last 6 months or so. I knew this was coming but its not making it any easier....
Anybody wanna see a grown man crying
Awe buzz killer, It has been three years since my dog of 14 years passed away. At the time I had her for half of my life, everyday she was there to greet me in the morning/after school/after work etc. Every time when I would have " the worst day ever" she was always happy and it seemed the unconditional love she showed would brighten up even the darkest night.
I remember 10 years ago she was struck by a car outside my house, skull fracture, broken leg in 3 spots (back left), dislocated shoulder (front left) when i went into the vet she said "I have never seen a dog with so much damage hanging on, with taht head trauma she will most certainly be brain dead" When I said "are you sure", from the sound of my voice I guess she heard me, and I could hear my dog start yelping and howling from the back room. The vet was like omg she isnt brain dead... so one week at an emerge clinic and an operation later (six screws, two plates, two bolts) to repair the leg.
$6000 later I had a bionic dog! But not like in the movies, she was slower, couldn't jump as high and in the middle of the winter the leg with all the steel init would freeze up when she would try to shit and it was funny as hell watching her kick the leg out when it was freezing up!
Now im dealing with a 16 year old cat with ear cancer. Worst smelling shit comes oozing out of her head, bloody chunks of brain matter but other then that she is healthy, can still jump up on the sofa's (there are covered in old sheets because of the projectile brain matter she shoots all over) she eats shits plays sleeps just like always.
Honestly I wish my cat was bedridden but she's not, I just don't have the heart to put her down. Some might say I am being selfish keeping her around but untill she can't move around well ... then I'll have to make the decision. That will be the hardest choice I'll ever have to make in my life.
My dog waited for me to get home one day from work and died in my arms
was the saddest day of my life, it's like losing a 14 year old child ( a 14 year old child that never grew up)
