Sad day today
Well, I knew it was gonna happen, but that doesn’t make it any less sad when you find out a family member is on deaths bed. I came home from work today, and found my dad in the driveway with my dog. He said that he took her to the vet today, and they ran some tests because she had been breathing hard, and sick for about a month.
They found out that she has kidney and heart falure, and water in her lungs, and she may have had a stroke about a month ago. They said she wouldn’t make it through the end of the week, and they are going to put her to sleep tomorrow afternoon.
I cried for about 20 minutes, and am still not very much in a happy mood. I can imagine that tomorrow will be no different. I took Jake over there to say goodbye one last time, and took some pictures of he and Tigger. I know that pets are just that, but I think out of all of them I have had, I am taking this one the hardest. So, here will stand a memorial to Tigger, one of the best (not the brightest) dogs ever!

Dude… that sucks. I am really sorry to hear it. I have had painful pet loses in the past, and it is not easy to get over. I wish you and your family the best possible.

I resised the image so its not 3.4 MB anymore, its only about 200k now. I will truly miss that dog, my dad gave her a half of a Happy Meal Cheeseburger before he took her in, I couldn’t go in with him, just couldn’t take it. He said it went really well, and he felt she was happy when she fell asleep. I am still tearing up writing this. Sad to think that I took that picture only 2 weeks ago, this morning, she looked all skin and bones, and could barely stand up. I think I have changed my mind about getting another pet, at least for a while.
