This has been a pretty rough week. Jeff and I had a long talk last Friday on the way home about Kramer. Poor dog has been having so many issues. He walked with a limp, couldn't jump up on the couch to lay in his favorite spot, was going deaf, and couldn't control his bodily functions. We decided that it was time for him to go on to a better place. I called the vet and scheduled an appointment for this past Monday (10/22). Brendan said he wanted to go with us, so the three of us took him in and held him and told him how much we loved him. As hard as it was, and as sad as we still are, we know it was the right decision for him.
Everyone in the office showed so much compassion for us - it was very nice. They let us know what would happen after he was gone and let us have all the time we wanted with him. They called tonight to let us know that his remains were back and waiting at the office when we were ready to go get him. Jeff went right then and picked him up. There was a nice cedar box with a tiny padlock (and key), and a brass plate on top with his name on it. They had also enclosed a nice sympathy card signed by the staff as well as a candle.
Kramer was the best dog and always showed love to everyone. He will be missed!
We love you Kramer -
