On Thursday, October 25, we had to euthanize this beautiful dog. This is Timmy, our lab-shepherd mix. This dog was well loved by my family, and he loved us well. He was kind, loyal, loving, and well behaved. look at those eyes, you can just see how sweet he is. He loved to play in the snow, eat grass, and have his tummy rubbed. He did not love being bathed or brushed! He was a smart, little guy. If he saw you even look like you might possibly pick up the brush, he took off and pressed himself as tightly as possible into a corner. That way, even if you did brush him, you could only reach one side. He was our baby for 10 years, the runt of the litter, he grew a lot!
He would not walk on Thursday and had an obvious problem. We took him to the vet and found that he had a tumor that had ruptured and was causing him to bleed internally. The vet said he only had a 50/50 chance of surviving the surgery and then could have a long, painful recovery....After agonizing over the decision for hours, we finally decided not to go with the surgery. This was a hard decision to make and I think it will always make me sad.
I mourn my loss and my children's loss. I sure did love this dog!
