Goodbye old friend
September 18, 2007The world will not be the same without you.
My family's Golden Retriever, Jenni, had just turned 13 years old and over this past year she developed a lot of problems with her legs and slowly she became unable to walk. Over the past week she completely lost the use of her legs.
As the week went on Jenni started to refuse food water and eventually her medication. A year ago Jenni started suffering from seizures and without her medication it would only be a matter of time before she had another one and considering how sick she had become she most likely would not have been able to survive another one.
I knew this day was coming for awhile now but there still really is nothing you can do to prepare yourself. It is so hard to let her go when she has been such a huge part of my family’s lives and my friends as well. I was starting the 6th grade when Jenni joined our family as a little puppy. It won’t be the same without her.
