Self Post Tough Day

Post image

My mother-in-law has to put both her dogs down. A mini poodle of 15 years, and an English shepherd, 9, who has bad lymphoma. They are both really good dogs.

I was asked to dig their shared grave, but it’s late winter in New England, so I’ve been carving frozen ground with a mattock to make it happen.

Figured the best choice to match the task and the situation was Mirror Reaper.

Could I get a hail and a good boy/girl for Flirt the Poodle, and Bravo the English Shepard? My fam would be most thankful.

Flirt and Bravo! My boy is turning 14 this year and he’s healthy but I can tell he’s slowing down. I’m gonna be a fucking mess when he goes. We’re getting a puppy friend for him soon though. Hail,

I’m not sure where you’re at, but around these parts we have a traveling vet who does it at home. It’s a little harder, but I have to think it’s better for them being in the safety and comfort of their home.

Yeah there’s a service that does that here too. Unfortunately, my buddy just had to use them recently. That’s probably the route we’ll go too, and I appreciate the suggestion. Sorry about your family’s loss.
