Showing Original Post only (View all)After 13+ Years of Love, Friendship and Loyalty [View all]
I had to have my Boston Terrier, Casey, put to sleep this morning. Over the years he developed a collapsed trachea, then he lost his eye sight in 2012. Despite that, people always said he acted like he didn't know he was blind. Then more recently he was diagnosed with pancreatitis and that combined with everything else finally got the best of him.
After crying most of the time since returning home, I know I will do better each day but I am lost at this moment.
