Dave put her and her blankie in the back of the suburban and brought her to the vet this afternoon. They came right out to the parking lot so that she wouldn't have to be lugged around any more than necessary. We were afraid of hurting her as she's at least 100 lbs.. To get her in the suburban we backed it up to the deck steps and put a piece of plywood across. She just walked up P's ramp and over to the stairs and right on in. It was nice that she never went through any additional pain the process.
My Dad went with Dave to the vet. He and Winnie have always been buds, and I really think he was her favorite person. She's been with me since she was a puppy and I was in college.
The older 2 kids had a hard time with it but we do have another dog named Bailey that's just a few years younger than Winnie. They'll have to be sure to keep her company now because Winnie was just like her Mom. I feel so bad because she's just been standing there waiting for Winnie to come home ever since she left. :o( I hope she does ok.
Here's my girl:

ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet dog. I'm sorry for the sad day and big decisions and everything that goes along with pets getting older.
((Hugs)) again.
