Our dog died

Ricola

We had to say goodbye to our sweet Skippy on Wednesday.
We had his teeth cleaned and a canine pulled about a week before Julie was born and noticed that his gums started to swell shortly after. I thought it was an infection due to the surgery, so we waited it out. It just grew bigger though, so we finally decided to take him to the vet. They did a biopsy and it was cancer. :-(
Just a week after we found out he started bleeding from his nose and lost his appetite and energy, so we decided to let him go. The vet came to our house and he is now buried in our backyard.
We planted a Mountain Laurel in his honor, that way we will always have a little memorial for him. Such a sad time for us.

Oh, so sorry, Ricola! That is so hard. We left our dogs at my brother's farm while DS was in the nicu and our Jaxon got hit by a car. We were pretty devastated but we didn't have to go through burial, my brother did that, thankfully. How nice for your vet to be able to come to your house. Hope the next few weeks goes ok, always rough to say goodbye to a pet.

 It's so hard to lose a pet. They just love you so unconditionally.  I'm so sorry.

Thank you. It's still weird that he's not there anymore, but we're getting used to it.
Alex still hasn't asked about him! I'm glad that he doesn't seem to miss him too much, that makes it so much easier for me to deal with.
