To complete the triumvirate. We have Happy, we have Angry, now we have Sad.
Tonight I had to take my dog Dave, to the vet for the final time.
He was just the best, best dog.
A Yorkie/Westie cross, with the heart of a lion.
He was 12 and 3/4. We rescued him as a pup from Leicester RSPCA Dog Shelter.
He was actually a hologram. Went nuts if you called him just a little dog!
He thought he was a BIG dog.
He was a little bollix but I loved him with all my heart.
He had Diabetes, had to have insulin injections for the last 5 years, twice a day, 6am and 6pm.
He got picked up by a savage alsation and flung against a fence, the skin separated from his back. That needed 32 staples.
Latterly Diabetes got his eyes and he was blind, so we got him a new lens (€1800) but that only lasted 10 days as his retina became detached.
So we had his other eye done. (€1500) that lasted until recently when he slowly lost all vision again.
His hearing was going too bless him, but the poor little thing had the heart of a lion.
He just carried on, good as you like, until we thought his belly was getting fat as he had Cushing's Disease (A by product of extended diabetes) but it turned out to be a huge tumour.
Finally everything started to pack up and today after not eating, couldn't give him his insulin, and him starting to be sick, I took him to the vet and he went to sleep in my arms.
We just couldn't fix him anymore. Everything was broke.
Cracked me up.
So sad.
The best dog.
