Life is fleeting

Well, I think it might be time.

Again, I have to put down another beloved animal.

Our dog, Maddie, is 11 years old. And she has a huge tumor in her chest that is getting larger and larger, making it hard for her to move and breathe.

and Im heartbroken.

Again

We had 3 dogs. Jake, a Shepard. Trooper and Maddie, our Labs. So Maddie is the last of an era. She's had a hard year without Trooper. Murff has helped her a little bit, but she misses Her Boy alot.

So I like knowing that they will all be together again. But its gonna be so hard not to see her pretty face every day, and her loving on my boys. she is a total BOY dog. she does NOT like girls...never has, never will. But the minute one of the boys walks into the room, she's in a puddle at their feet. and she insists on them calling her Baby Girl, which they gladly do. She's our DIVA. and once you live with a DIVA, its hard to imagine life without her.

Sooooooooooooooo..............I need to talk to our vet.

That's a phone call I find very hard to make.

Beth said...

sometimes I think its not even worth it to have pets....but then I look at Murff, and I change my mind. But damn, its hard.

Just popped in to check on your blog and am so sad to read this. Not sure if you put Miss Diva down yet, but I'm sorry you have to go thru it - this is the WORST part about having a dog... hugs girl!
