So I’m hurtin pretty good right now. I finally put my dog down today. It is honestly the hardest decision I have ever made. My heart actually hurts right now. But it was the right thing to do. I had her before I knew W. I was hoping to take her with me into post married life. But that would have been unfair to her. She was falling all the time.
Yea is [censored]. Really bad. I miss her already. My other dog is worried about where she went. But she lived a good life. She chased, caught and ate countless rabbits. Ran miles following the tractor. Would chase me on the four wheeler for hours. I’m not gonna lie this hurts quite a bit more than I figured it would. I feel like I betrayed her. Even though I know that’s not true. She was happy and still had lots of go in her. But she was always falling. I watched her fall down our porch and land on her face. I could not let that happen. I just feel like I stole life from her though. It’s really tearing my up
A dog owner knows when the right time is. And we always second guess it.
I have buried 4 dogs since 2010. Never gets easier. We have a large breed that turns 10 in mid-next year. So another one is coming in the next year/year and a half.
But, they add so much more than the pain of saying goodbye.

Hey everybody. I hope you are all well. So that Christmas party that you said I shouldn’t have invited her to? You were right. She didn’t want to go and just said she would cause she thought I wanted her to. I got home Saturday evening and I could tell something was wrong. I asked her about it and she told me. I just said no problem I could go by myself
I don’t really want to go around a bunch of people I don’t know
Ok no problem
You won’t be mad at me?
No
Are you sure?
Yes
Why did you invite me then?
I thought you might want to go.
So I went by myself and had a BLAST!! The most fun I’ve had in a long time. Wow it was a good time!!
Wish I would have been listening to you folks since day one
Yeah unfortunately most newbies don’t catch on for along time that we have seen these things play out hundreds of times and usually know the end result. Sometimes it’s better to learn the hard way.
Keep moving forward and who knows what the future holds.
Oz, glad her sudden change of heart didn't affect you and that you still went and had a great time. Well done! Next time don't bother asking her. Just go and enjoy yourself. If she asks later why you didn't invite her, just say you wanted to go have fun by yourself and you hope she understands (oh man wouldn't that grind her gears!)
