Another Sad Day

This day has been coming for awhile now but it doesn't make it any easier. We have come to the difficult conclusion that it is time to put our dog down. She is a poodle/terrior cross. She has arthritis and over the last year it has gotten much worse and even with medication we could tell that she was in pain a good deal of the time. Her cataracts have also advanced to the point where her sight isn't very good anymore either. She has been getting snappier towards us and a bit ago she actually bit Gary. We made excuses for her, but deep down we knew that the time was coming. A few weeks ago she bit Crystal and that was our deciding factor. Crystal can do just about anything with this dog and for her to bite Crystal told us something. So today is the day that she is going to the vet. We are going to bury her in our backyard in one of her favorite places that she loved to lay. It will be a sad and somber weekend I am sure.
