I wanted him to die old and grey, not just grey...
Well yesterday was the day, our gentle giant was put to sleep. The cancer had spread rapidly into his leg and he couldnt walk any longer. It was a really hard day! I had made him his delicious last meal the night before, steak, bacon, hot dogs and peanut butter in turkey gravy.
I think he knew, he savored every bite. We played with him in the morning. saying our final goodbyes.
We dropped zoey off at my moms and picked tank back up. We fed him his chocolate bar, his favorite.
One christmas i put giant chocolate bars on all of the presents, to which he found them and ate them all. good thing he was like 160lbs it didnt affect him...lol.
We took him to the vet and he loved the ride there, im sure people were like what the heck is looking out of that truck! lol!
they took him in and put him in a room, we hugged and kissed him lots and lots. he got his iv and while Jim held him they put him to sleep. i sobbed for a long time. even the vet tech cried. :(
roxy has been going through some depression and it makes me so sad to watch her. she didnt eat for awhile and now just lays around not playing or being happy. weve had a couple dogs come over for to play with, but you can tell its not the same. Weve been tossing around the idea of getting another puppy. a great Pyrenees or a lab. but im not sure i can handle a baby and a puppy at the same time. looks like we will just have to do the dog park and have play dates for her :)
