26. Oh, Velveteen, I am so sorry
Tue Jun 16, 2020, 04:28 AM
Jun 2020

we both went through this yesterday.

I told the vet I'd had to make the decision 3 times in the last 12 years: for Simba, his brother, Mouse, and our previous dog, Tanya. Never easy, but so much less complicated than with this decision for Snowy.

She never complained that she couldn't stand up to eat because she couldn't breathe and eat at the same time, or that she was panting just to follow me from room to room in the apartment or that she struggled to stand up because her back legs had so little strength. She just did what she could and continued to be my shadow.

Hugs to you, too, as we mourn our fur kids together.
