saki
Just an update.... we ended up taking Saki in to the vet yesterday to go bye-bye. It was a very difficult day and it is so weird to not see him outside any more. I know in my heart it was the right thing to do, but that doesn't make me miss him any less.
We live near an airport and see planes flying overhead all the time. Mark ended up telling Gabby that Saki was going to be going on an airplane to go live with Kubla (our Golden Retriever that passed away 2 years ago). The saddest part of all of this was when we had her give him a kiss and tell him she loved him because he was going away. All I could think about was back in the days when he was happy and Gabby would climb all over him and sit on him and he just let her do whatever she wanted. He was a great doggie. While truly sad, I couldn't help but smile a little after she gave him a hug because the first thing she said as she walked away from him was "ooooh, he has really stinky breath!".
Mark had a really hard time with taking Saki in. Putting a pet down is so hard. Yes, there is the emotional part of it all, but actually deciding to end the life of someone you love. It's just not a decision anyone should have to make. With Kubla, at least he passed away on his own... it just sucks to have to DECIDE that your pet's life is over and have to make that call.
Bye-bye Saki. We love you and we'll miss you.
Again, I really appreciate everyone's support in your replies. thank you. Please don't feel like you have to reply again... I feel like this is all I've been posting about...
