In
his final weeks, despite the
fact that his hind legs would
shake from muscular
degeneration, he would follow us
all over the yard. For months my
husband and I labored over the
decision of when to put him
down.
March 9th we had a vet appointment
for a check up. That morning I went for my daily walk
asking for the strength to make the best decision for
our buddy.
We arrived at the vet and were escorted into
an examination room. The staff at Calimesa Veterinary
Clinic had given Truffles years of excellent care.
Because of his age and their kindness, they always
made themselves available to us.
As we waited in the room, we laid
Truffles' quilt on the floor. For the first time
in the 16 years of vet visits, Truffles merely lied down
letting us know he was ready. My husband and I both feel
that he loved us so much that he helped us with the
decision. We miss him so very much. He will
always be in our hearts.
Jim and I would also like to
express our appreciation and devotion to Liz for
also helping with our difficult decision.
