I just wanted to let you know that our dog Misty (Shetland Sheepdog) was put down today. Earlier this year she got a disease. I don't know what the name of it is. It kicks in like a motion sickness. Her head would go back and forth like she was watching go around and around. Back in January,we took her to the animal clinic and was kept over night. They gave her pills and within 2 weeks she was doing great. Last week it happened again. While she walks she would walk into walls. Had a hard time get up after laying down.
My wife took her to get her nails trimmed today but did not make it there. She just fell over on the front seat. She came home and she was just breathing with her eyes open, like she was starring into space. No movement whats so ever. My wife called the same clinic and ask them if they would put her down. My son came out with some water and I gave some to her on my fingers.
This part will shock you... She jumped up like she nevr did before,sat up and looked around. My wife came out and I told her to put her on the grass. She walked around like she was confused. She fell over. Dhe put her back into the car and once again she was starring into space. It was time to take her.
I carried her into the animal clinic and told them what to do. A woman came and took her from me. I sat down and waited for my wife and son to come out. I could not see her go. They gave her 3 needles. They gave us her paw print in a clay piece. We got home and baked it in the oven. Her paw print with her name is on it. She was 15 1/2 years old. My wife got her before 1 year before we met. She had to leave her at her parents home becuase of our apartment at that time. Just a few years ago, we brought her to our home to live. Her father could not take care of her anymore. She was a very good dog.
I'm going to miss her. She used to have lunch with me everyday when I came home for my lunch break.
I wanted to share this with you.
I took this photo not so long ago and on April 11,2009 added this to items on here. I'm glad to have taken this photo when I did.
Many of you seen my photo her on these items before.
