Bo's gone
So, yesterday Bo's hips (rather, a hip) gave out. My dad says he was trying to get up, and he heard a pop and a yelp and Bo wasn't able to get up.
We took him in to the vet's and got him x-rayed.
The X-rays showed that there was no chance of a recovery for his hips, and even if there was, giving him time for it, the other hip would just go out.
Bo wasn't able to walk and probably never would again.
Mom and I sat down and made a tough decision. His quality of life wouldn't improve...we said it was time.
And although we say it is, I know each of us is thinking, "Is it?"
But to let him go on, to let him die naturally...We would have just made him suffer. This is all we could think of. And the worse part is, if it was the wrong decision, there's no going back on it. It's final.
But... but he doesn't feel pain now. He's young again. He's happy and waiting for us...
I can hope.
I miss you and love you Bo
Rest in peace.
