The hardest part about having a dog (or pet in general) is having to say goodbye. Our sweet Willow is not doing well. She can barely stand due to her hips failing to hold her body weight and just like my childhood dog Tw***ie, she has the symptoms of her kidneys failing. She's scheduled to cross the rainbow on Monday. It was not an easy decision. I could be selfish and hold on to her longer, but she's in constant pain and is already about 15 or 16 years old. Winter won't be kind to her if she stays. Please say a prayer for our family. It's not going to be easy without her. She'll get all the love and pets and a whole yummy cheeseburger before she goes. I love my sweet Willow, Willard, Willa Bean, Nanner Puddin', Miss Stinky and all the other names she's had over the years. She chose me at the shelter and watched my babies grow up. Ugh this sucks!π’πππ
