Burpdog Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 Went to the bridge this afternoon. I had decided it would be today or Wednesday as his walking had been getting worse. Acupuncture treatment on Tuesday didn't help much. Thursday he was tossing & pouncing on a stuffy (not very long, but he was pleased). Last night he ran the length of the yard. 3 a.m. he went out and pottied and was very unsteady. 7 a.m. had night poops (or so I thought). I cleaned him up and he slept awhile. Then he starting getting agitated because he couldn't get up. This had happened before, so I watched him a little while. It became apparent he was not going to be able to get up. Rosemary & I got him into the van. Dr. Baley gave him the shot while he was in the van so he wasn't hurt transporting him into the clinic. He went quick & very peacefully. I am going to miss his extreme chattering excitement when I walk in the door after work tomorrow. I hope he is chasing those squirrels and attacking any shower doors that are around the bridge I only wish I could have given him some more good months.
