:(
It's been a while since this happened, but I didn't really know what to say about it until now...on July 23rd we had to take our 12-year-old dog, Shiloh, in to the vet and have him put down. He still looked like a puppy up to the very last day of his life, but Shiloh was actually getting pretty old and was having kidney failure and heart problems that weren't treatable anymore.
If you want to know what a legitimately old-aged puppy looks like, this is it (this first picture is from June):
My mom found this dog sitting in the turn lane on Rainier Ave. 12 years ago and after looking for his owner for about a month we decided to keep him. For most of his younger years he was a loud and attention-seeking but awesome little dog. As he got older he tended to sit and observe us with his big button-eyes while we hung out around the house. It's kind of funny that we always sort of thought of him as being a puppy when, for his years he's been older than all of us for quite a while. I think he was more ready to go than we were ready to let him. It was hard but I think we did the right thing for him.
Goodnight little bear <3
