I hate to only be checking in here to post bad news, but that is all I’ve got today. Last night, we had to put our dog, Amber, down. She has been going downhill gradually, but it all came to a head yesterday. It seems that while Ed was at the store, she must have jumped out of her chair on the wrong side and landed behind it and became trapped. When Ed got home, he couldn’t find her until he heard a whimper from behind the chair. After that incident, she became more and more out of it as the afternoon went on.
When I got home from work, Amber was lying on her side in the backroom, and she just looked so bad… She did not really respond to me at all, and I told Ed we had to take her to the vet right away. We carried her out to the car, and she never really moved the entire ride there. Once there, we had to wait a bit for the doctor, but he agreed that her time had come. We both stayed with her, kissing and petting her head. It was done very gently.
So, after 15 years, my beautiful, loving, loyal chocolate lab is gone. RIP Amber.
So sorry to hear about Amber; I know how much she meant to you. kindest regards, ck.
Thank you. It’s really hard to deal with. I appreciate your sympathy and comment.
