I had to put my best friend to sleep yesterday. It was one of the hardest decisions I have had to make. I knew in the next few months I was going to need to do it since he was having a lot of problems walking and I would have to lift him up when he was laying on the floor. I have had to lift him up into the truck and my bed for a long time but they are both high up. Yesterday morning he started to cough and sneeze up blood. I was on the phone with my job when it started getting bad. I knew it was time. I had promised him a long time ago that I would not make him suffer due to my sadness. We have had a few close calls but he always rallied.
I had to call around and find a vet due to not having one here in FL. Finding one to do it was a non-issue with his age and the issues we were having. She said I made the right decision because most likely he had tumors in his respiratory track. He has been panting a lot more the last couple of months but I chalked it up to the high heat we have here and same with him getting more tired.
My life is so empty now without him being around. It is so quiet in my apartment without his snoring. He was ready to go to the bridge and meet up his with doggie friend (Missy) and all the other boxers that left before him.
