We had to put down our two Lhasas down on the same day. Feb 11th. One was born on Valentine’s Day but we couldn’t stand to see him suffer one day longer. The breed has an average lifespan of 14 years. One was just shy of 14 and the other 3 days from 14.
We celebrated his birthday every Valentine’s Day. This year Valentine’s Day was very sad for us. And by the way, his name was Valentino.
One had a bad heart and one’s kidneys were failing. Both had lost their hearing and eyesight. It broke my heart watching them want to go up to the fence but stopped 5 ft short because they couldn’t tell how far they were from it.
They were becoming aggressive. One bit my wife when she bumped up against him. The vet said being deaf and blind made them very afraid. He said we did the right thing.
So I know how much your heart is breaking. The pain will lesson with time. And the crying spells will become farther apart. Little things will remind you. So you’ll never forget them and i know you don’t want to.
My wife gave all their toys and beds away before we took them on their final visit to the vet. That was a very smart thing to do.
My heart aches for you. And I’ve said a prayer.
I can see how the deafness a and blindness made them fear.. They are just poor little animals after all.
My heart is breaking,
I couldn’t stand not having a fur baby, as a Senior I needed the comfort of one. Hubby bought me a Morkie when she was 6 weeks old, 1/4th Maltese 3/4th Yorkie, looks like a Yorkie just doesn’t grow the long hair. She whined for 5 weeks before we could find a companion for her when we had the Peekapoo who was 11 and had had a stroke down. We found a rescue Shitz female who was 3 fully house broke, already spayed. All we did was get her Chipped like the Morkie is.
