That's so young!


Sasha was the oldest dog we have ever had, our black lab lived 15 years and walked over to me wagging her tail and collapsed and died. That was the best dog I have ever had and she even died perfectly.

Our vet had me give Sasha diazepam before we drove there (she was the only dog I had that hated car rides) they gave her a sedative shot while I distracted her with her favorite treat > a cheese stick. After the sedative took affect they gently placed the IV and she passed so peacefully in my lap. Glad they allowed us to go in, confirmed before we went. The vet was very compassionate, they only charge $85!

Hope she is running and playing over the rainbow bridge with her brothers. The only furbaby in the picture below we have left is Dodger, the white dog, and he is 10. We buried her in the back yard. 💔

Alas, that is not going to happen. I know its the right thing to do, but oh so hard.
Sorry Nic. it has only been three weeks here to the day.

Crazy thing is he has been standing his ground against the other two. I’ve seen them poop bigger turds than him but he gets into their food bowls and snaps at them. Hope we didn’t get a demon possessed puppy? Edit: Yes, that’s a slipper.

I stayed with my last pup when he was put down. That was rough. Not looking forward to the next.

Plus he was a dick and no way was I paying top dollar.
