Goodbye

My parents had to put the little dog we had growing up to sleep yesterday. It was a really bittersweet decision. Mickie had kidney failure and was dying. She wasn't eating and had to get nutrition iv's every 12 hours. She still moved around and played but wasn't going to get any better. My parents made the tough decision and said she went really peacefully. As hard as it is, I know she's better off not being in pain. I wouldn't want to be hooked up to a bag everyday either. They chose to have her cremated and sent to the Best Friend's Animal Sanctuary in Kanab where they'll spread her ashes, along with other euthanized dogs at Angels Rest the pet cemetary there. It's a beautiful place (i've posted some pictures) Rest in Peace friend!

That is so sad! I have had to put 2 of my family dogs down, and it is so hard! They become part of your family! At least she isn't sick anymore. My mom had to put one of her dogs down at 9 months old because she had kidney failure too. It's sad to watch them suffer! : (
