As bad as yesterday was, today hit even harder. I got a call at work today saying our dog of over 12 years, Faith, was in bad shape and couldn't get up. I noticed that she was down a lot last night but wrote it off to her just not feeling well.
We took her to the Vet and after weighing the options we gave her death with dignity. Her mind was still sharp but her body was gone. Her quality of life diminished rapidly to the point of having difficulty in breathing and becoming dependent on us to help her move.
In the end she went to her final sleep in the arms of her family this afternoon and as tough as a decision it was, we know it was the right one for her.
If anyone tells you the death of a dog is no big deal, I say they are full of shit and have never experienced the unconditional love that a dog gives.
R.I.P. Faith. You will be missed.
