Written by Late last week we made the difficult decision to put Charlie, our rescued Border Collie mix, to sleep after a lasting battle with several health problems. His thyroid had shut down, he was riddled with tumors, had gone completely blind, and was suffering severely from Canine Cognitive Dysfunction. Still, it was very hard and both Mom & Dad were heartbroken; after all, Charlie had been with us for over 10 years.
The hardest thing, though, was watching him struggle for the past year. The last six months had been the worst, with a rapid rate of decline. While it was devastating for the ‘rents (and I do miss the goofball), I have to admit that I’m relieved he’s no longer in pain or constantly confused and/ or frightened.
Goodbye, Charlie. I hope Mom’s right and you get reincarnated as a cat.
