Reading all these stories of guys losing there Best friends really makes me think about what George is trying to do. G-man is a professional in dealing with people passing on and understands that in most cases when we lose a pet the situation is even harder to deal with. I am dreading the day when my cat passes away or i have to make that tuff decision to put him down or give him away. I remember when i got sick with this diabetes BS i was close to giving him away because of fear he would scratch me and i could have a bad reaction. Im so happy i didnt have to go that route. But to help in Georges info, here is some info on my family dog passing away a few years ago.
My Dads dog Barney was 16 years old, had 2 major surgeries during his life, im talking thousands of dollars. I remember his last days. I went to visit my parents and Barney was having to work real hard to breath, nevertheless he still greeted me at the door. I told my dad that barney aint looking so good and i think hes on his way out. My parents are hard to convince that something is ever wrong. Later that day they had to bring him to the animal hospital, barney had blood coming from his nose and was struggling to breath. My brother called me upset and i tried to console him over the phone. Not long after our phone call barney died in my brothers arms in the waiting room. My family was very upset for a long time.
Not sure how much it cost, i didnt want to ask.
He was cremated separately and the urn is on the china cabinate.(sp)
Not sure if we had a ceremony, but we did remember the good ol days.
DOnt know what could of made it any better or easier, i guess trying to be prepared knowing that one day we all pass. That dog lived like a king for 16 years, you cant ask for more.
Remind me to punch you in the face next time George for making everyone upset and remembering how they had to deal with this, now for a second time. J/K
