Goodbye Charlie

[12poundbass]

I mentioned in the other thread we were going to go through this sooner than later but man I did not expect only a couple days later. Charlie had been declining but last night we got our sign when we got home and his was having a hard time using his back legs. We took him in this morning to free him of his pain. 
 

Charlie was a unique dog that’s for sure! He managed to photobomb plenty of pictures over the years, he was very needy, kept us on our toes, and always made sure he was the center of attention. Even though he was needy and needed a human next to him he never gave kisses or looked you in the eye which we always laughed about.  He’s our fourth one in five years we’ve had to say goodbye to and it doesn’t get any easier. He’s also the last of our original three the Mrs. and I had and gave us 15 interesting years. 
 

This was him five years and two houses ago. He always sat in the window like a cat.

No puppies and no more dogs for a long while. We still have two and this is the first time in 15 years we’ve had less than three dogs. They are fun, give you unconditional love, but they can be a lot of work when you have multiples. They are worth it though.

on her "ankle" which is benign now, but going to be removed

soon.... These threads are brining up memories of Jake.... ?

I needed around 8 months before i could get another dog after Jake passed away. (I told my wife i would wait 1 year.) When i took him in, i was crying so hard i couldn't speak. They knew who he was and why we took him in, i just handed him to them and went to the car.

I have done that before and had some regrets afterwards. The wife and I took Charlie in today. We were both a train wreck. Once The sedative kicked in she lost it and went to the car. 
 

The vet was very nice and were very considerate when planning out their building. When you bring your pet in for This scenario you go in the employee (rear of the building) entrance and right into the “comfort room” they call it. You don’t have to see anyone except the vet tech and the doctor. It was probably as nice of an experience as you could expect.

Yeah, i regretted not being in with him, and i won't make that mistake when either of our girls' time comes.
