For 26 years, we have had dogs and cats (throw in a 30 gal. fish tank too). Due to old age, we lost the last of the 5 cats 4 years ago. We were left with our 2 Keeshonds, Heidi and Sophie.
We lost Sophie (the Black & gray) due to a tumor Aug.2, had to put her down finally. That really upset us as she was the younger of the two (11 1/2) and the real character.
Well, yesterday we had to put down poor Heidi (the Blonde) due to arthritis. The CBD and glucosamine chondroitin just wasn't helping her anymore, couldn't use her back legs to get up and her front legs were giving out. It was time to end her suffering.
We were in denial, tried to make them both last as long as possible, but the time had come for both.
Going to miss them both, they were quite a pair. It's very tough to put pets down, but we were there til the end for them. It was the least we could do for them.
No immediate plans for a new dog, but a new one will be a small dog, hopefully one that doesn't shed a rug each week (!) . Wintering in FL, we'll probably get something next Spring when we come back North.
