My Dead Dog

I guess now is a good time as any to mention that a couple of weeks ago I had to put my dog to sleep. It was extremely hard and extremely painful, mainly because it is something I have never done before until now. I think what really reinforced my sadness and my hurt was me watching them put those two needles (sedative and euthanasia) in his little paw. i didn't know exactly what was wrong with him but he seemed like he had a stroke or some kind of brain tumor because of the way he was acting. He was staggaring with his eyes rolling in the back of his head which just made me so upset. Fortunately he had a long life, almost 16 years of age which is pretty good I guess. May 9th would have been his 16th birthday. I wish he would have at least made it through his birthday, but I guess God decided it was his time. Yes people, I do believe dogs go to heaven, just like people do. Anyhow, I just wanted to share this with everyone who decides to read this. I think now that I have gotten this off of my chest, I feel somewhat better. Thanks for reading.
