Casey

omg!!!!!

I have to do this. I'm totally bummed but I have to share with you all.......I had to put my screen name to sleep last night! My beloved Samoyed (they call them Sammys), Casey. :o( I called him my snowdog ...hence the name SnowSammy. His back legs started to give out and he was having a hard time keeping his back end up. He would end up in the back yard stuck when trying to go to the bathroom. More than a couple times this week i would wake in the middle of the night to hear him barking in the garage only to go out there to see him turning circles on his front paws on the comforter cuz his back end couldn't get up. He was on the best arthritis meds you can buy twice a day and it wasn't working :o( So i had him checked out and they said his joints were way swollen and he is overweight and a bad back to boot, soooooooo I decided it was time to put him down cuz i cannot for the life of me imagine that i would be gone all day somewhere and he might be trying to get up for that drink of water or to go to the bathroom and not be able to get up.....

Soooo we got him a strip steak from Chili's and videotaped the last supper and I gave him a warm bath and a blowdry so he was all pretty and we took him in last night at 4:30 pm and took his giant costco doggy pillow and put it on the vet table and he layed on it. The vet shaved his left paw and tried to find a vein but wasted 5 cc's of whatever the hell it is that kills him and said "get me 5 more cc's" to the nurse..."we didn't get a vein". So they shaved his right paw and he got a vein this time and he cried the whole time it was going in and i looked at him and said "I love you" and he whined down and then his head dropped and he drooled for the last time and his head laid on the pillow and i wiped his chin and kissed him goodbye and stroked his head for the last time and left him there on his pillow and said i will pick it up tomorrow. Omg that was hard! :o(

And then we went to El Torito with my parents and when my mom said to Zane "eat your Quesadilla" all I heard was "Eat your Casey-dilla" and I lost it lol. Omg he was one of my first babies. I got him from the pound when he was 6 and he was the best dog i will ever have. Never once snapped or even growled at the kids when they would pull his hair or try to ride him like a horse lol. I will miss him dearly... :o( thanks for listening :o( Wow lol this sucks........ Anyway thought I would share :o( thank you for listening

Love, Lacie

P.s. I love you Casey! And we will miss you terribly..."fat boy, fat boy...whatcha gonna do"....... our beloved Fluffy.[Unable to display image]
