Today.
Today SUCKS. Today is Beautiful beyond words.
Today we euthanized our 15 years, 9 months old Schnauzer, Tank.
Yesterday he became so lethargic and somnolent that he barely even moved. This morning that deteriorated into full blown seizures.
We bundled him up and drove to Alameda East Veterinary Hospital. We signed all the necessary paperwork and spent our last hour with the last of my Momās 6 Schnauzer puppies.
I was there when he was inside his motherās wombāI would yell into her pregnant belly āI love you alreadyā£ļøā£ļøā£ļøā
I was there on the day of his birth and almost every day of his puppyhood.
When Mom got seriously ill with Alzheimerās and dementia, I was there to take care of the remaining 4 Schnauzers.
It was a blessing to have Quade in Tankās lifeāthey bonded as man and dog. Quade saved Tankās life on several occasionsāgiving Tank an extra 4 years of life.
Our little Havanese shared his life spark with Tank which also increased his life span.
Tank ran and played every single day, until today. He loved us with his entire being. Just as we love him.
We are all heartbroken. The house is eerily quiet. And the sun is brightly shining.
I look forward to the time of happy memories and fewer tearsā¦šš©µšš©µš
