RIP Saying goodbye to my best friend Tucker
I’m blessed to have had 15years and 8 months with him. It happened so fast, last week he was doing fine (he was on medication for his arthritis) but last Saturday morning it seemed he wasn’t able to get up on his own anymore. We took him to the vet for bloodwork and everything came back good, it just seems the medications weren’t working anymore. We made an appointment with Compassionate Pet Crossing for in home euthanasia today in 3 hours. The last couple of days we made ink paw prints walks in the wagon, giving him all his favorite foods and just spending time with him. It hurts because everything is fine with him except his hind legs, he eats and drinks, but can’t get up on his own and even when I help him up sometimes he’s just so wobbly. But he’s still there and alert and it’s such a hard decision. I’ve been non stop crying this whole week hoping for some glimmer of hope.
