The vet says he has a cancerous lump and will not survive any intervention, and that he was a very different dog than even from two months ago and that it was time. He has dementia, tracheal stenosis, diabetes and cataracts, and coughs a lot, so it really is time, but my ex needed to hear it from the vet, who thankfully is always her forthright helpful compassionate self.
I know the internet hates pugs, but he was a stray I fostered and then adopted, and he had a wonderful hilarious personality, was cuddly as could be, and really did very well until the last year or so.
It is the right decision without question, but it’s never any easier no matter what experience you have with it. I will miss my puppy baby so much.
I messaged, but I wish to show my support here as well. You are a lemmy friend, a wonderful supporter of our effort here, and a beautiful person. These may just be words on a screen, but I’m a real person dammit and so are you and I don’t want you to hurt. All my love friend in this impossibly difficult time. I’m in tears empathizing my own experiences and I hate the pain you must feel. I hope you know how much joy you bring here and I am certain your canine friend felt just as blessed with that joy.
I appreciate you saying this! He’s definitely well loved.
