I had to put Chance to sleep on Friday/early Saturday morning.

It came so fast - blockage or intestinal/internal twisting, was not bloat according to vet. Took him to 24hr vet, xrays showed no blockage but lots of twisting and air pockets. $2k in surgery just to cut him open and see, price would have went up from there and no guarantee.

I couldn't afford the surgery and didn't want him to suffer any more so decided to have him put to sleep by my side. I am still in shock. He was healthy and happy less than 3 days ago.

Had a dog growing up that had something similar happen. My dad paid for the surgery and he died on the operating table. I couldn't put Chance through that. He was suffering so much, dying in front of my eyes. I just couldn't let him be in pain any longer.

I am so sad. I want to run right out and adopt another one so bad. Khloe just keeps going from room to room looking for him still. Breaks my heart.

Oh, Diane, I'm in total shock--how devastating for you! He was such a beautiful boy. Take comfort knowing how you rescued him from ac & how happy he was with you. You gave him the chance he might otherwise not have gotten. Prayers for you. :Rose:

I am so sorry to hear about your loss. It is so difficult when it comes upon you without any warning. May you heal quickly and know that you did all that you could.

*door opens*

*Bark* *Bark* *Bark*

Peanut, you barked at your Dad??

It's me, Peanut, don't you recognize me?

*bark?*

What in the world are you doing coming in the back door? I don't know if I have ever seen you come in the back door. I am usually with you. How did you get to the store without me? How did you get out of the house unnoticed? What is going on here????? Are we off our schedule????? AAAAAAAAAaaaeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!??????

*oof*

I protest.

Whadja bring me?

Look I found a 19 squeaker toy for 75% off!
