We had to put down Betty's dog Buddy on August 30, while she was in the hospital. We went and got Buddy for her after her husband Al died in Jan of 1999. It was an extremely hard decision to make. Buddy had cancer in his lungs and in his mouth. We were assured by the vet he was not in pain (cancer cells do not have pain receptors) but when he couldn't empty his bowels on his own and could barely breath, we had to do it. It was even harder to tell Betty that Buddy had passed. She passed away one week later.
Rest assured it is a very calm and peaceful and humane process. We had a home service done. Wendy had her hand on Buddys heart when the 3rd and final injection was administered. His little heart stopped beating before the syringe was empty.
My nieces dog was also named Sadie. He had a heart attack at 6 years old and died in her arms a couple of weeks after Buddy passed.
Take it from someone who has had more losses this year than one man should go through ( 2 dogs, 1 bird, Betty, Mama and Pops ) God Bless Sadie and her wonderful parents that are doing the most loving unselfish act.
