My heart is breaking today. I have made the decision to put my big bear of a dog Putney to sleep. He's put up a great fight to continue on but this last week he took a turn for the worse. He can't seem to even chew the ground turkey I made him, I've given him some clam juice and he is happily drinking that down but chewing is difficult and probably painful for him. He's gotten very thin but does still love to go on his walks though they are much shorter than they used to be. In a few moments he, Rowdy & I will take our final walk together.
My vet who makes housecalls will be coming around 1:30 today for this. I've been crying since making this decision Friday night.
I said no to putting him through the hell of surgery and the aftercare he'd have to go through for his sake and I realized I had to think of him again and not myself here.
He looks so handsome having had a bath Sat. morning in preparation for the party Sat. night. He was very social with everyone.
This beautiful dog has given me so much love and joy these last 5 years. I will love and miss him but he will be able to run free and very swiftly, meet my other old boy Roscoe, and watch over us from heaven.
I love you big bear. I wish you all the love you gave to me.
Sleep well
