We had to put our Chow down today hes really been fading the past week. He was 16yrs and 5 months so he lived a long life. It doesn't however make it any easier.
Best dog ever, well at least to me. Only dog I ever had that didn't need a leash, not even if cats were around.
My brother in law tried to come in our house once to replace our hot water heater when we weren't around, my brother in law didn't get into the house. Jack called me saying Chance would not let him come in, saying he will rip my leg off if I do. He wasn't that way ever when we were around. Great, loyal, protective dog!
Not the end of the world really, in the grand scheme of things he was just a dog, but man does it hurt to put him in the truck and take him to the vet that he always hated, and then say go ahead and kill my dog please and Ill pay you 200 bucks when your done. I kept hoping he would die on his own.
So Ive been a little distracted lately dealing with him since I knew he was going to be gone soon. Worst part about it all is I have 2 other dogs, so I get to experience this again one day. yahoo.
Ill get in the swing again, just wanted you guys to know I haven't gone anywhere just been a little distracted.
