My Mom's dog, Mitzy has had some health issues lately and two weeks ago I brought her to the veterinarian to have her looked at. Turns out she had a bunch of different things going on with her and trying to treat one wouldn't help since her health would deteriorate by the other conditions. The vet recommended that we'd have her put down asap. Even though we didn't want her to suffer, it's been a really hard decision. Our problem has been that from time to time she would look totally happy and healthy - especially around the kids. She has LOVED those kids so much! Seeing her slowly feeling worse and Danny and I taking turns being up with her at night when she would bark for us to come let her outside, we finally had to make that choise that we feel responsible pet owners need to make...
So, this morning, after dropping the kids off at school, we went to the vet to have Mitzy put down. The past few weeks I've probably been the more reasonable one of Danny and I - knowing rationally that this is the right decision - but this morning I was a mess!!! Everything went okay, though. The vet put a small fur on the floor for her to lay on and we were right there on the floor cradeling her... sweet, sweet dog... She has had a great 11 year life and she was soooo loved!
Ett svårt beslut det förstår jag men helt klart det enda rätta.

Åh, jag läste ditt inlägg precis. Tårarna rinner när jag ser dina bilder. Jag vet precis hur det känns. Sorgen och beslutet, beslutet att släcka en väns liv, en trogen och glad vän som följt som Mitzy gjort - precis som mina hundar följt mig och Filippa troget. Kan tänka att du även ser mamma i henne så det måste ha varit ett fruktansvärt beslut att ta. Jag sörjer mina hundar varje dag. Så underbara bilder! <3
