But, I know one day that will happen - same with my parents, etc. The key is to make every minute count and I would say take lots of photos and videos! I'm overjoyed that you are letting him on the couch! My boys are spoiled since they get on the furniture including my bed. I'm sure Scrubs feels the love! And the treats!MtnGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01882656639070055494noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14468282.post-44842103277872475982016-02-04T10:14:42.835-06:002016-02-04T10:14:42.835-06:00I'm so sorry that Scrubs won't be around f...I'm so sorry that Scrubs won't be around forever. <br /><br />We lost our dog a year ago in October, she was the same age as Scrubs. It was sudden. She was totally fine one minute, the next she couldn't walk. We took her to the vet as soon as it opened the next morning and they suspected internal bleeding. She had a very low BP and her temp was very low. They offered all kinds of expensive tests to figure out what was going on, but we turned them down. <br /><br />She was almost 9. She'd had a tumor removed when she was 6, and we suspected the cancer had spread. Like you, we didn't want her last moments to be tests and procedures that probably wouldn't make her better. We chose to go without the answers. We put her down that morning and returned home to our 5 and 2 year olds. We buried her on our property. The kids still remember her and talk about her.<br /><br />The way you feel about Scrubs coming into your life when you needed him, I feel about Tracy. I got her when I was a lonely graduate student, before I met my husband. She saw me through grad school, getting engaged then married, having kids, buying a home, etc. All those major transitions she was a steadfast companion.<br /><br />It was hard to say goodbye. I do wish we had been given a bit of warning. I am glad you have this bittersweet time with Scrubs.<br /><br />I will keep all of you in my prayers.Momma, PhDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12667681924625562313noreply@blogger.com
