It finally started raining today, but we also had to put my dog down. I didn't cry, but I really wanted to... I've had this dog since I was five. He was my dog, I picked him out at the breeder. Out of five golden retrievers there was one sheltie. No one had picked him up because he was a runt and was very nervous all the time. I liked him because I felt the same way he did. At that age I was shy and nervous all the time. I've grown up with that dog, and over the last few weeks I came to the harsh reality that he wasn't going to live much longer. About two weeks ago, he had a stroke. We took him to the vets, and he got some medication. The medication worked really well for a while. He actually moved around, barked, and did all the things that he would normally do. Then he stopped walking around, stopped barking, stopped everything. He couldn't even lift himself up to get water, I had to carry him to his water dish. So yesterday we had him put to sleep. I know it ended his suffering, but it still hurts me a lot. I miss him already. At least he went painlessly, and quietly.
