sometimes i wonder...

why we have animals...

Last night we had to put Bruno down. He's our Sharpei. He was about 12 years old and that typed of breed doesn't live that long. He was going blind and he just didn't act like his young self. Due to his blindness he was getting a little aggressive. We didn't want to take a chance in case he bit someone.

Ashlee went with us last night and she witnessed it all. She wanted to see the process because she wants to be a veterinarian. It wasn't as bad and I thought. They gave him a medicine to sedate him and then gave him the meds to shut down his system. No pain at all. Looked like he was sleeping.

All though we are sad to see him go, we knew it was the right thing to do.
