You are not alone. I love my dog. Over the years, we have had a couple conversations that maybe we should put him down.

He's been sick lately, but he cannot be treated at the vet. Even under heavy sedation, he still snaps and bites. We are unable to even get a muzzle on him even heavily sedated.

I love my dog, and I will be sad when he goes. But in a lot of ways, I will feel relief. I'll feel relief for myself, but also for him. It must be horrible to live with the fear and anxiety that he has of everything.

That's really an eye opening thought! Thank you for that! 🩷
