 Peace at last.
We brought Rusty home from the vet on Saturday past. Saturday he had some rather good moments however Sunday went downhill and did not get better. The little guy was constantly throwing up and not taking any nourishment, not even keeping water down. Monday morning we returned to the vet and still no answers, rhyme or reason, the vet gave him a shot that supposedly would keep him from throwing up for 24 hours. He threw up on the way home in the car and by 1pm had thrown up another 4 or 5 times. At this pont his throwing up was becoming increasingly more violent, still with the stitches in his abdomen from the surgery and inside he was obviously in pain.
At about 5pm with great reluctance and fear on making the decision we came to the conclusion that it was no humane to let the little guy suffer any more.
I have been in the Canadian Navy and equivalent to your Seals, rode motorcycles, and now for the second time in my lif tears flowed down my cheeks like a baby as I held this innocent little fellow as he so peacefully went to the Rainbowbridge to be with his brother Rags.
I seem to be leaking again now so, peace to all and may the Good Lord look out for all the little innocent puppies in the world. |
