I have hesitated adding my thoughts due to the anguish caused you ladies on the loss of a pet. But, it is an important part of my life and must be expressed.
Years ago, we birthed a most phenomenal male pug and we named him Major. He was perfect in every way and won his championship by the age of one. He sired so many future champions. Fifteen years passed by and old age began to show. He moved slowly and ate little. I took him to the Vet and was told no medication would help. I decided to have him put down. The Vet gave him a comforting shot and I laid him on the table with heavy heart and my head on his chest. Soft caresses and soft words were continuous. Then the Vet gave the last shot and I knew tears would flow. Major gave a huge exhalation from his massive chest and then looked at me as his entire body relaxed and he was gone. No tears, no sorrow even surprised me. He was at peace...and so was I. I left the office with the realization that Major was now a puppy again and crossed over the bridge with leaps and bounds. I smiled all the way home.
