Hi All,
My wife and I made tough decision recently. Before I got home from work today, she took our little black pug Mug-zy to the vet and had her put down. I had "her" do it because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to handle it. She was basically my dog. I picked her, the breed and the dog herself. She has been with us for 12 years. The vet was shocked when they put in the catheter and she began to inject the liquid and Mug-zy just passed immediately. My wife said it was like she was waiting to go.
She was still happy and friendly but she was almost completely blind, deaf and had so much trouble walking it was heartbreaking to watch her walk across the room. Her joints were severely arthritic. She was developing a tumor on her front foot and the vet said something must have been terribly wrong for her to have passed so quickly after she injected her.
It's painful, but it's one of those cases where, do we want her to be here for our pleasure or for hers?
She had a great life, was loved unconditionally, had great friends in her buddies Patients (boxer) and Petie (cat). Now it's just Patients.
My wife let her eat anything she wanted in the last year or so, because we new it was close to time, so she got lots of treats and left overs. She did love to eat. We don't feel it contributed to her condition, she has been going down hill for the last couple of years.
Several of you met her on your visits to my house and shop. You know how lovable she was.
So, sorry for the rambling post, here are a couple of photos. Thanks for listing.
And yes, it's OK to say it,,,,,,,"She was so ugly, she was cute".
