Well our old pup just got put down this afternoon. She had been diagnosed with bladder cancer a while back. Meds only did so much.
An old man like me having to load a 100 pound dog into the back seat of the pickup was a circus. Fortunately she has always liked to ride and once I got her up all I had to do was help her with her hind quarters to get up the ramp. Once we got to the vets office it took a crew to get her out and onto a stretcher to carry her in.
Once we made the decision we knew we had to make she was asleep and then down in just a few minutes.
This one is hitting me harder then most of them have over the years, even the ones that I had to put down were easier then this one. Have to wonder if it's because I'm not far from that time.
