Texas Spring/Summer Thread

I'm sad to say I told the vet to put Booger down today. He had no change overnight. The vet said, today, it wasn't auto-immune disease. She said she had 5 theories and none fit Booger's symptoms. She said he was fighting some toxin. I asked her opinion and she said put him to sleep.

When I went to see him, he was laying on some blankets on the floor. He never moved his head when he saw me, just wagged his tail when I talked to him. I layed on the floor with him and patted his head as she put him to sleep. I buried him near the turn-a-round of the driveway under a huge cedar tree. Just like Native Americans did.

Happy Friday 13th.
hugs, Brandi

Sorry to hear about that Brandi, we went through the same thing last year with our beloved "ladybird". She was our old white German shepherd with bad hips.

Brandi-- My deepest Sympathy for the loss of Booger. It's tough enough with us getting older, but our pets are special and that makes it really tough when they get old. We're looking at the same thing with the 2 dogs we have now, and it will be very hard for the whole family to handle. My wife and MIL are still mourning the loss of a great dog back in 2002.
God Bless

I certainly understand the loss, and tough decision, but you did Booger a favor instead of making him linger on in pain.:thumbsup:

Brandi, God bless you for ending Booger's suffering. He was a loyal friend and deserved only the best.

Sorry to hear about this, Brandi. It's a tough decision, but the right decision. No reason to let Booger suffer. My thoughts go out to you. Booger had a great life. Think of the happy days.

 

[Western]

Brandi, I have no doubt it was a very hard decision and you did the right thing.

My friend says he thinks it was rat poison. He helped me bury Booger. So there is no more Brandi, Booger, and the Big RED Beast.

Charlie,
Booger was the longest I ever had a pet. His Mom, Ariel, and his older sibling, Otis, just disappeared. I never found them when they were ill.

Bird,
You are so right. His eyes had that 1000 yard stare, but his tail wagged at my voice. My neighbor (no kids with his current wife, but have 5 huge house dogs) stated it rather eloquently when he was leaving here a few weeks ago........he said to Booger............."Goodbye Old Man".
hugs, Brandi
