The vets moved the appointment up, and that was okay as the waiting was bad. I was outside taking him for a walk when they pulled up and they saw how he was having trouble getting around.
After examining him the vet agreed that the best decision was to let him go. He went peacefully and quietly in a place he felt safe. I was petting and telling him I loved him and he was a good boy when he passed. It is so hard saying goodbye but I'm so glad I found Housepaws ... they were so understanding, respectful and kind about the whole thing.
Rest in Peace, my dear Buddy. You did not have a good beginning in life but I did everything I could to make sure you knew you were loved from the day that you came into my life to the day you crossed the bridge.
Until we meet again ....
