I’ve been pretty quiet lately. Not just here on the blog but in real life too. So much has been going on and I’ve just been needing some processing time.
Tomorrow I will lose my buddy. Our Dalmatian Thunder is 12 years old and has been slowly but progressively losing his mind. He becomes obsessive about everything, especially licking but has also become aggressive. We’ve tried to keep an eye out to prevent anything but he has now bitten Thing 1 twice. I’m talking full puncture bite and one of those times he pinned down Thing 1. That was the moment we knew what we had to do.
It’s killing me. We can’t risk this happening again but I feel like a murderer.
I’m really going to miss my buddy.
*Update* – Thunder passed away on Saturday October 24th at 12 noon EST. He died cuddling on my lap.
What a heartbreaking decision you had to make. And that, unfortunately, is the role of a mom. You are doing the right thing, and I think, your buddy, if he could understand, would agree. Big hugs to you.
