wacky1980 Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 not my dog, my wife's. she got the dog as a pup around 14 years ago. chloe is a blue heeler, pretty intelligent, super nice, and loved the human kiddos. she's now blind, deaf, and as of about a week ago, stopped eating altogether. so i have the unfortunate task of visiting the vet this afternoon and doing the deed. wife is staying home, which is probably a good thing because she's already a mess. so that should be a fun drive. anyways, peace out pupper. it's been fun.
Sawdamizer Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Damn, Saddy had to put her dog down today too. Cancer.
wacky1980 Posted February 2, 2017 Author Posted February 2, 2017 ugh. wife has been putting it off for a couple months because she was holding onto hope that the dog would snap out of it. and she's not ill that we can determine. just and old pupper that i think has made the decision that she's ready to let go. she lost about 10 pounds in the last couple weeks, and until last night, i couldn't get her to eat for over a week. but she's so out of it that when she gets up, she constantly turns in a circle because she can't get her bearings. i have to put the food right in her face in order for her to even try to eat it. it's one of those things where her quality of life has been so poor over the last couple months that this should probably have been done back in the fall, but the wife wouldn't let it happen. kinda sucks.
mthor Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 Poor old dawg. Sorry to hear that; even when it's time, it's always sad.
Phillies Posted February 2, 2017 Posted February 2, 2017 yeah I had to put the cat down last year, thankfully the liquor store was on the way home :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
wacky1980 Posted February 3, 2017 Author Posted February 3, 2017 well, that's done. wife is handling it better than i thought she would. leaving the house with the dog was hard though. wife kinda lost it when i brought the dog in for one last goodbye. i think i might've squeezed a tear out myself. old chloe bird took it like a champ though. didn't make a peep when they gave her the shot, just kinda curled up in my lap and went to sleep. fuck.
NaBarney Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Fuck. I teared up reading that, laying beside my 16yo terrier
scoobdog Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Damn, Saddy had to put her dog down today too. Cancer. Yeah, it's strange how many people are posting about losing a pet. I had to put my Julie to sleep on Monday because she was convulsing. Then, someone I know from school had to put his cat to sleep Tuesday. Then, I saw Saddy post. Now this.
RPM Jr. Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 That sucks, dude. I'm sorry. My deepest condolences. Prayers for you and your wife.
RPM Jr. Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Also, this has reminded me that my wife and I need to take my almost two-year-old Scottish Terrier back to the vet. He's overdue for his heart worm pill and flea and rabies shots.
