This is my first post. So lets just jump right into it. My sister wanted our family dog, so a few years ago ( around five) she talked to our parents and adopted him into there home. Hes always been a great little dog and a awesome friend to all of us. He is a little on the older side around 14 and he didnt do much over the last year. just lay around, played here and there but he wasn't as active as he used to be. Then last year a trend started, she kept mentioning putting him down because he had blood coming out of his nose in little droplets ( somthing he even dis as a young dog) when he sneezed. I told her it may just be allergies so we had him looked out and the vet confirmed he was fine and that he just needs some alergie medicine ( his sinuses were very dry) I dont quite remeber the details other then him giving a clean bill of health. After that he was back to playing and taking long naps, you know a normal old dog routine. Cut to same season this year and we were at the same place. She ask if my parents would take them back( they are old and cant take in any more dogs as they have enough to deal with) we ourselves have 2 dogs who would not get along with him if we brought him home. She said if no one can take him she was going to put him down. I mentioned donating him to someone who could use a old support dog pretty much trying to find anything other then resulting in killing him when he still had a good quality of life. I started to look into it but the hard deadline of yesterday was set and hes gone and buried in a shallow hole in the backyard of there home. I'm hurt and kind of mad that someone could kill somthing just because they didnt want them any longer. I understand animals are just animals, but this seems wrong. Maybe it's a normal practice and I'm the odd one who is just dosent know when to let go. Either way I'm sorry to a old friend who I didnt take in sooner and gave him a place to spend the rest of his days. I should have taken the threat more seriously.
