A Very Hard Day...

This morning I will take my
Kimmy to the vet for the last
time. She has always had a
very bad disposition toward
certain people and has been
untrustworthy around young
children.

On the other hand she is so
very loyal and loving to me.

The night before Mikey left
for his mission trip she bit
him.

It was the last straw...

but it is so hard to actually
bring myself to bring her life to
an end, as is evidenced by the fact that
I didn't do this last week while he
was gone.

She has health issues that help
me to make this decision, as well.
The poor dog suffers from allergies
to an extreme degree and it is hard
to watch her be in such discomfort.
I have tried everything to reduce her
itchiness and while things help,
nothing makes it tolerable.

None of this takes away the horrible
sadness I feel as this time comes.

It is time to go and say goodbye.
I will miss her greatly!



Updated: Mom went with me...Kimmy passed very peacefully looking into my eyes. For such an unpredictable dog she always, always, always wanted to please me.
I loved her!
Thanks for your kind words.
