Old Buster was a loyal friend and yesterday [View all]

old age and health caught up with him. He has been wearing a diaper for a few months now and had lots of trouble going up and down steps. Yesterday morning, I let him out and he seemed ok, but later Nurse Multigrain called and said he could no longer get up and seemed very confused. When I got home, we both agreed he shouldn't suffer and called the vet and said we thought it was time.
He went very peaceful. The first shot sedated him enough to take away all of his fear. The second one, he gave a little sigh, close his little eyes and checked out.
I wished that when I get there, someone would take me to the vet.
