Yesterday I went and put my dog to sleep. The people at the shelter said he was between 4-6 years old and I had him for 6 years. His name is Nixon and all he wanted was love, a place to sleep and occasionally scratched behind the ear. He was a mix of Jack Russel and beagle.
Its never easy when you have to put a friend down. They become part of the family, the kids love them and I do to. That was the agreement though, to care for your pet from start to the end. It would have been cruel not to do so. He was losing bladder control and his hips and bones were just creeking. I was painful for him to be picked up and to jump on the sofa.
I have to say that the Vet place was just great. They treated me with respect and kindness.
