When I wrote about Lola recently, I expected to have a lot more time with her. Instead, we put her to sleep today. Our vet came to our place, which was great because Lola was terrified to go to the vet. The procedure was quick, quiet, and peaceful.
April 22nd would have been our sixth anniversary with Lola. I wish she could have stayed to celebrate with us and also her designated birthday of May 5th.
It was the right time. Last week our walks got shorter--both in time and distance. Then Lola deteriorated badly from Friday to Saturday. She last ate on Friday except for a small bite of a hot dog yesterday. She would have suffered more each day.
We got together with some dog park friends yesterday to say goodbye. I can't explain how wonderful that was.
We're in a tough transition to a life without Lola. We miss her.
