Thank You, Sweet Suzy Options

[John P]

Suzy was a wonderful Jack Russel-Chihuahua mix. She was with us for over 15 years, and we think she was over 20 years old. In her youth, she was very energetic. The past few years brought several age-related problems, bad vision, deafness, arthritis, and nystigmus, which we thought was a stroke. A few years ago we thought she wouldn't survive much longer, but thanks to luck and good vet care, she soldiered on till today. My wife and I have known for some months now that we'd have to "make a decision," yet we'd hoped she'd go peacefully in the night. Her Jack Russel energy kept her going and going, and it was heartbreaking to see her stagger around the house on legs that barely worked. We agonized over what to do and postponed the inevitable, but today we decided it was enough. After losing our sweet cat Buddy last May and Gracie the dog in June rather quickly, having our baby so very long and having years to prepare didn't make the day much easier. If you love them, it's always hard. Suzy, rest in peace and thank you for so many good years!

John, my heart goes out to you. I remember when you lost Buddy last year. Losing three beloved fur kids in such a short time is heart-wrenching. I am glad though that you had so many years with Suzy. She sounds like a real sweetheart. Take good care of yourself!
