I have been feeling like I want to post but waffling because I'm still struggling with this and I hate to just dump this on BITOG. My wife and I got two puppies, a brother and sister 13 years ago. We don't have kids, so these dogs were our children. We lost Vinny in Feb 2024 and it was extremely difficult, but the way it happened at least prepared us and him to have a pain free death. We had him euthanized at home by a wonderful vet. I've been saying it was the best way to do the worst thing.
With Boo, it was much worse. She had been battling bronchitis last week and we had her on an antibiotic and prednisone but it was not helping much. Very long story, but she was struggling to breath and kept coughing, so around 3am on Friday I put her in the car and drove her to the veterinary hospital. It was bit of a drive and she got weaker as we drove. She passed in the car, in my hands, a minute away from the doors of the hospital.
We are grieving. Its just been simply horrible. My wife is holding up better than me, thank God. We have one more left, a rescue Chihuahua so we are paying a lot of attention to her.
